What Coding Language to learn first?
I'm 13 years old and I want to grow up and become a video game maker/developer/designer(whatever fits there) with really any Xbox 360 or Xbox One or whatever company that make games for console gaming. I also want to create my own game for iOS.(iPhone, iPod, and iPad) I know to create games/apps for any iDevice, you should use the Objective C language. (I read that Apple recommends that coding language for designing apps) I also know that most leading programming or just professionals in general use the C++ language to code and I know that you can learn C++ and Objective C easier if you already have learned the C programming language. Just please someone help me out here and tell me if I should stick with the C programming language or go down to something more simple or up to something a little harder. And keep in mind that I'm 13 years old. (Well turning 13 on December 28, 2013) Also please don't say "Well it depends what you want to do." or something like that because I have already told everything that I want to do. Oh, and one last thing I would like to do would be make a mod for Minecraft. All your help will for sure help me!
If you go to Coursera.com they offer FREE programs in basics to creating programs. I know its not exactly answering your question but its a base to further explore it a bit.
You mentioned Minecraft, which is written in Java (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/22507-i-want-to-learn-to-code/) so maybe you should start there. You can get a compiler here (http://www.eclipse.org/) and java information from sun.http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index.html
That is the developer side, so there's lots of info. For beginning stuff you might check this site, which has user friendly sections just for beginners.http://www.javaranch.com/
Good luck! And "Hello, World!"
You can find tutorials for lots of things here, including java and C++ (the use-for-everything language):
