I am fairly new to programming, but ive been around it for years , and have a passion for it, and would like to persue a career, as well as attend a college for Electronic Game Programming. No one around me is interested in this field though, which makes it hard to learn, thinking back to a school setting in which i have spent so much time in groups, I believe I work best with other people, and learn better by doing so. This brings me to my question, could i have a few programmers that wouldnt mind teaching/learning along side me via AIM, Msn, or other instant chatting program? I ask this in this forum because there is not really any , "Hi I am New" forum. I am interested in .net languages, as well as web coding, although i am lacking a proficient knowlege in both, but do know some basics. I would really like to start all over and really understand what I am doing and become well versed in programming before I even touch, or attempt to make any game. In the past i remember starting game project , not getting too far off the ground, and becoming very dissappointed with myself. I would like to stick with what I am doing and succeed. I can not wait to get to know/learn with all of you! [Edited by - NubGrammer on May 2, 2007 8:26:52 PM]

Exactly my point.
Doing the learning along side some one . A partner is crime , if that is a better analogy for you.

As for being anything special, of course not , why would i be asking such low level things if i was anything special.

In laments terms it is not so much learning from obvious "experts" "like you", but rather novice to novice interaction , I am looking to snag someone around my level of experience and learn with them, kind of like a "Party " in a game, you could reference WoW, we would be "Sharing a Quest".

I hope this clears up any confusion. What i am not looking for is someone to tell me how to do something, thats not how you learn. Well for me anyway.

If this is not the correct forum i gladly would like assistance to to correct area of which this should be posted, i believe i have explained my situation thoroughly, and would hope this website has such solutions to my predicament, or could direct me elsewhere, where i could accomplish this.
