I just finished High school and I'm going to IT to study programming. I've already watched some youtube videos about Java but I am still a complete beginner. Any suggestions to efficient programming learning. What kind of projects should I start with. I'm totally not going to make a full sized game as a first project am I.

I'm also going to army for 6 months next week. Any tips how could I use that time to learn some programming?

I live in Finland and there is no this kind of censorship on TV. The bleeps I hear are only found in foreign TV and Finnish familyshows.

Finns are very fine with nudity because of our culture (I see my family naked weekly in Sauna etc.) Finnish movies don't usually hide nudity and bare bums, and genitalia can be found in +11 films. Some movie had a part where boys were Jacking off to some nude girl. Male genitalia not shown, girl yes. I think this movie was +13. We watched it at school 9th grade lol. Who +13 is gonna get shocked, they can see genitalia by whipping down their pants and probably have seen porn already anyways.

There are laws though that +15 rated films can't be showed before 9pm and +18 rate films can't be cast before 11pm. To give bit examples. Mildly violent stuff like Pokemon are +7, Fantasy violence, mild fear and/or mild nudity is +11 or +13 (Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, Spiderman) Most of the violent or sexual movies such as Die Hard or 007 are classified +15 and porn, gore and/or extreme violence is classified +18 (The Saw, Silence of the lambs etc.)

Thanks :) I've always wanted to start with something big but programmers usually call it a huge no no. I'll see what I can do.

Thanks. I am checking out that HTML5 course.

I am going for professional programming (because I want to do that as my job) so learning C++, Java and HTML5 are probably the most important languages to learn.
