so if I know nothing about programming (pretty much), where does one start? Whether in general, or amiga specific ?
Any books or resources to look for?
I have a bunch of resources
here.
Specifically there's a
developer links section that has links to a bunch of tutorials and reference material (if you come across any new links, please feel free to add them).
I like
this one in particular. I guess you're on real Amiga hardware, but otherwise it includes links to a pre-configured hardfile image for UAE with a full development environment; if you want to run that on your regular setup it's a bit more work but it links to a gcc installer.
