- WalterBright 5y agoWriting games are a really fun way to learn to program. The best way to learn how is to find an open source game that you like, figure out how to build it, then start modifying the game to your personal taste. Learning the basics of writing compilers will be surprisingly helpful for all kinds of programming tasks. The Dragon Book is the best: https://www.amazon.com/Compilers-Principles-Techniques-Tools-2nd/dp/0321486811 https://www.amazon.com/Compilers-Principles-Techniques-Tools... Too bad the prices are so high for it. The original version is much cheaper: https://www.amazon.com/Principles-Compiler-Addison-Wesley-information-processing/dp/0201000229 https://www.amazon.com/Principles-Compiler-Addison-Wesley-in... Learning calculus is a great way to train your mind to think better.
