for following thru with learning a language? I always get bored and drop out :/

Not surprised, especially based on your previous topics here. Most people give up very quickly.

Why do you want to learn programming? if it bores you and you can't force yourself to stick with it, i suggest trying to find another field.

Think of a fairly simple project that interests you. then work towards that goal. If you can't think of anything that interests you, then i suggest trying to find another field.

if the only project that interests you is writing a bot/hacks for a game, then i suggest trying to find another field.

if you're interested in making simple games, then i suggest looking into tic-tac-toe or minesweeper. after you have that under your belt, you can try one of the old school arcade games (frogger, space invaders, etc). if you're interested in making websites, start making one.

thanks for the tips

Codeacademy

I remember back when I was taking a Java class and I started to bored with the pace of the class. My buddy and I made a text based game which pits the player vs. a random computer. Hit, miss, damage, health, etc. It was a good spark of inspiration when we thought of more ways to advance the game.

Coding is like a snowball::Sometime it just needs a small push and a steep hill.
