So, I actually REALLY want to do this, a lot. But I really don't know how to start learning. I was thinking of saving for a C+/C book, but I can't earn a lot of money, got half a year to go till I can get a actual job. :( I really would like to start doing this, it sounds fun(in a very nerdy way.) I realize it'll take dedication too, but if anyone could point me in the right direction for where to start that would be great.
Best way to learn programming is to get hands on IMO. Think of an application, any application you would like to see. Build it in the GUI, then press ctrl + f11 to view the generated galaxy script. Study it thoroughly, then attempt to do what you did in GUI with right click in trigger view -> new custom script.
It's basically understanding programming through reverse engineering of the code. And the good news is there's always something new to learn.
I'm sure theres a lot of people here (including me) who would be more than happy to guide you if you need any help understanding. Just post your questions here.
Depending on how much you know already you can go through this: http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial
No need to spend money on a book when there's the interweb :3
I suggest going through the Basics of C+ + and Control Structures chapters and the two parts about Arrays and Data Structures.
Everything else is elevated programming which Galaxy doesn't feature X.x
Apart from that Fuzzy got a good approach - just write a small trigger or two, then press CRTL+F11 to be able to look at them and try to get what's happening there.
As I said in the other topic I'll write a tut or two for advanced beginners (ergo people who know the very basics already).
