Learning how to code?

Well there's no sticky for some guidance, yet people always seem to push other people to code it themselves.

Is it really easy? How much time would it take me to learn it from scratch to do something as "simple" as metallurgy? And like what methods would be best for today?

Or is this something that just happens to be a neat byproduct ability after taking a class in advanced computer programming or something?

I dunno, for me it came to me naturally despite my major is in engineering field that had to do with almost nothing with programming. Ironically I can do learn the gist most computer codes withing 2-3 days.

I would write up a guide for the exploration sketch time removal, but I'm lazy and rather let Kev do it. Unless he's feeling lazier than me. XD

Yeah x.x I'll try to have that up Friday or Saturday, can't do much during the week, or I would have had it up already.

Anyway.. I didn't really learn it, it was just sort of common sense to me. When I looked at it, it just made sense The only thing I looked up was some of the commands, but once you get those, its very easy.

Google taught me everything I know.

I look forward to the guide. Hope its easy to understand despite of my lack knowledge in computing.

Most programming languages are very similar in syntax. If you learn one, most likely you'll able to grasp most other languages and learn it under a week.
Try Java or Python for programming if you're a beginner. If you're able to understand the concepts you'll quickly learn the other languages.
You don't have to pay, the internet is very resourceful, just commit.

Look for Lena's reverse engineering tutorials on google. They are packed with assembly knowledge and how to work with ollydbg, which is required if you want to deal with dll editing.
