Hey guys,

I'm a 15-year-old looking to enter the world of programming... but problem is... I have no idea where to start...
Ideally, I'd like to start learning a language that is good for beginners, but also powerful to make games. I've heard C++ is a viable option but wanted some advice from some more experienced programmers.

My dream has always been to work in the gaming industry, specifically working with an MMORPG. I'm aware that this is still a long away, but I'm willing to give as much time as I need to, to begin the journey towards this goal.

Basically, I need some advice on which language to begin with (powerful + widely used), and any recommendations of which books to read, or websites to visit that could possibly help me. Heck, even if someone is up to mentoring me I would be down for that.

Thanks
