>what are all the languages
No programmer ever knows them all.
As in, even heard their names. There just are so many. People make new ones all the time. Most never gain that much traction.
>which one should I start with from easiest to hardest
I'd recommend to use the resource https://www.htdp.org/2019-02-24/ to start with (but skip the "Prologue" section, it's actually a ruse to make you feel lost intentionally, simulating how other books teach programming). It uses a custom language for beginners made to teach better rather than be good for big projects / companies. My first attempts at programming never went anywhere because I never felt like I was actually learning to solve problems, rather like I was learning a load of curiosa without being shown the proper ways to use it. Because I was trying to learn C++ because that's what the big boys use.

Then after you've learned the basics, you would pick up a real world language based on what you actually want to do. The reason there are so many languages are that they are fit for different purposes. Working from home is probably more common with web development afaik.

But also seconding >>37811 , why programming?
It probably isn't the most straightforward or most sure way to reach your goal.
Also learning programming takes a lot of time and effort. Will you actually sit down and crunch or will you just switch tabs to some youtube vid as soon as things get challenging?

I think I might be too retarded to be a programmer. When I am given an assignment for my course work at community college I always have a hard time figuring out what needs to be done. I don't think I am that much of a failure at simple logic, but I'm not a genius so I can't figure out just what it is that I need to do. I am alright with structured programs and sometimes feel as if I excel at that but when it comes to making a bug move position in Java I am lost at the start. I cannot even form an algorithm to save my fucking life. Is there any hope that I would ever grasp everything in programming? I can't even figure out how passing methods/functions in any given language actually works. This is enough to make me contemplate suicide since this means it's one more thing that I would never excel at or one more thing that I would only excel at with the bare minimum. Who else feels this way?

I did a coding project for a college professor despite having no prior experience. It was for some pretty important work this dude needed help with to get published, so I'm over-confident and full of myself right now because of my babby's first programming script.

All I did was scrape information from some websites. Anyways, how can I make money from my obviously god-tier programming abilities? I need to ride this high of ignorance before I realize I don't know anything about programming.

Can anybody tell me why this is producing 0?

public class Debug2 {
public static void main(String[] args) {

//Producing zero because integer division of a smaller number by a larger number
//always results in zero.
int i = 9;
int j = 5 / 6 * i * 4 ;
System.out.println(j);

I marked it as producing a zero because integer division of a smaller number by a larger one always results in 0, but that's only part of the question. I'm supposed to solve it to produce the correct answer (30) in integer format, while leaving j as an int. I am completely lost...

Its integer arithmetic. "5/6" ->0 and zero times...

Move all the divides to the right: "5 * i * 4 / 6". Result will be rounded down

You also need to be aware of range checking:

" j = 5 * i * 4" -> " j / 5 / 4 = i"

(min(j)/ 5 / 4) <= i <= (max(j)/ 5 / 4)

(0x80000000 / 5 / 4) <= i <= (0x7fffffff / 5 / 4)

"-107374182 <= i <= 107374182 "

Try this: https://n0x400.1mb.site/#sec-1-1
It's designed for people with zero programming background, covers CSS, HTML, the DOM/JS, some React, lot's of other things. Full lectures available. It's a workshop so you follow along with your javascript console open manipulating divs.

My only complaint is the lectures on socket.io and mongodb, stick with Postgresql and learn actual websockets for any real life application.

I know most people would just tell me to use online sources to teach myself to program because they're free but there is just something about a book that I find easier to learn from. I was wondering if if someone could give me a list of books that would take me from beginner to advanced in C#.

I was thinking about these books in this order.
1) Learn C# in One Day and Learn It Well. By Jamie Chan

2) Mastering C# (C Sharp Programming): A Step by Step Guide for the Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced User by Michael B. White

3) C# in Depth by Jon Skeet

We used the Wrox book "C# for professionals" back when I took my CS education in the .NET 4.0 days... contrary to the name, it starts off pretty simplistic, but showed off some great tricks with Visual Studio also.

Back then, I bought the entire box with the aforementioned book, along with a programmer's reference and a few books with design guidelines... mainly because the box set only cost a little bit more than the book alone. Pretty decent books to have even now, whether for reading or for quick reference. I still use mine sometimes for reference in building new projects.

My tip for any language is to try to get hold of one or more programmer's refence books... They often have good "recipes" for certain types of projects and can help you analyze and dissect more advanced problems. They may also contain quick references for various libraries and commands and are really good for helping in designing programs from scratch.
Also, as mentioned, reference books can help you learn a few tricks in the IDE for autogenerating code, say, for database access.

I'm in my junior year of college and I really spent the whole time just partying and getting decent grades but not really learning more of like last-minute studying. Anyway, I'm near the end of college by my spring semester I will be a senior and I still don't have any internships or any skills that can get me there. By my estimate, I only have a year at most to become employee material, but even I think this is far too little time for me. How do I begin? Am I fucked? Where should I begin this quest to becoming employed?

I'm just an almost total noob, but I figure it'd be fun to try out making an IB software (wouldn't ever want to host a chan, just for fun coding and exploring concepts) as a first real project to practice doing something more than just exercises. Had a look on githubs imageboard tag, and there's a load of them, but since I'm just a beginner I can't really tell bad from good.
>TL;DR
What's a good imageboard software to look at the source of for inspiration and good structure?

Thank you very much! Especially those lecture slides about webscaling, I haven't read up that much on webdev, more just general proggr. so it'll definitely be useful.

I've been too busy with other things to get started yet, but I'll pop back in with an update when I actually get some stuff coded up.

You could.
It would be kind of like pixel art just instead of picking color values you pick a which coefficients each macro block should contain.
You would start by writing a graphics editor for the task.
Something like select a macro block and then select which "wavelets" apply to that block.

Could be a neat trick for 4k demo completions or games that should run on 8bit embedded cpus.

Haven't hosted a chan before, but my advice would be to post in /tech/ instead, this question is not really about programming at all. You just want to host software that already exists. That's a /tech/ thing.

I'm sorry for working for free in Open Source. If I had any choice in the matter, I would not. You see, I cannot be employed because of legal circumstances. If I make income, I will lose my only means of financial support. That being said, I basically have no choice but to contribute to keep my skills.

No hard feelings?
