Getting basics into control give more confidence and sometimes energy to fight against wrong argument :D Both your ways are fine.

I guess it could be misunderstood quite easily.. Hmm.. Maybe I should change the wording a bit.. Yeah, I'm going to do that. ^^ No problem. I guess it could be misunderstood quite easily.. Hmm..

I've seen almost that exact same question asked many times in other places, and I've interpreted it as "I'm trying to learn programming, where should I start?" In fact, I've personally been asked that question more times than I can count. :-P Given the lack of context, I read that as though you were looking to *learn* how to program. If there were other clues in your post that indicated otherwise, then I must have totally missed them. Sorry for that, and the resulting confusion. :-P -- Doug Hmm, I think that we just hit a language barrier. ;-) Looking at your original post, you wrote:

I appreciate the sentiment, but I think you've misunderstood what I meant. I already know how to program in several languages, Java and PHP included, as well as Python, though I'm a bit rusty in that language. I'm not really sure <strong>how</strong> you got this idea that I was learning how to program, though. Anyway, I was just curious if I should write tutorials dealing with the basics of Java and/or J2ME programming, or if I should just jump right into writing the more advanced stuff.. Hihi.

Are you trying to learn programming in general? If so, I'd recommend checking out either Python or PHP instead. http://www.python.org/ http://www.php.net/ It also wouldn't hurt to take some Computer Science classes if that is an option, as it will give you an introduction to some helpful programming practices. Oh, and on the subject of blog readers, may I also suggest a LiveJournal? There are *lots* of people there, and it is a great networking tool. You can find me on LJ under the username "giza".
