i need to get back into programming to prepare for actually being a computer programmer. i'm pretty good with object oriented programming (specifically java) since i've been doing that for 4 years in high school but it's been like 3 months since i've actually done programming. i was planning on picking up C++ or C, or maybe playing around with python but i haven't been motivated enough to do anything and i wouldn't know where to start since basic tutorials are too basic and i'm too lazy to look for intermediate things. what do i do? |

"Intermediate" tutorials don't exist. True intermediate skill means you are capable of combining multiple basic elements to create an end product without a guide. For example.. creating a login form with account system, TCP sockets to send messages, and a room system are all "basic" or "beginner" tasks that you can follow tutorials to do, but writing your own IRC server is an intermediate task because it combines them. |

Why? Why the hell not. |

for some reason I find C easier to use/learn than C++ but overall prefer java |

C++ is a clusterforget of a runtime trying too hard to do everything. |
