About These Tutorials

Programming can create complex programs, games, websites, etc, but where do you begin? Luckily once you learn the fundamentals, you can go to any language and pick up the syntax. The fundamentals are the most important part of coding, with them you can look at a language you’ve never used before and try and decode what the code does. This is in no way supposed to teach you everything about programming. It’s just a general knowledge so when you do program you will understand what you are doing a little bit better. Here you will find a bunch of pseudocode, but if you use this in conjunction with my other tutorials, it can help you understand it better.
