As the title says, I've been looking to get into programming but I'm having trouble starting outside of Codecademy. From what it looks like to me, its a field shrouded in obscurity and complexity that makes it difficult to get into as a hobby. I'm not on a computer science course, nor am I a math genius, but I'd love to make a few nice little things someday, like an app or dumb game.

So I thought I'd ask here, since there's a good few people here who must do some coding from people with software jobs, to modders of TWI games, and even the TWI devs themselves.

How did you get started? :)

What would you recommend to a newbie who's trying to become proficient and productive someday?
