I've recently become set in stone with the fact that I want to become a computer programmer and more specifically probably a video game designer. I was going to become a video game tester which is a great way to get into the business...
But... I live in Detroit... And there are absolutely no jobs here... In that field at least
So I figured I should probably start learning some programming languages before I head of to college and get my degree in programming and desing... (I'm 16 btw)
Which language should I start with?
How should I go about it?
What programs do I need?
Can you point me in the direction of a book and or site that can help me learn?
