Hey am new to programming. Totally new. I am at the present moment kinda clueless. I want to be able to write software, attractive, efficient, useful software. My life is currently a mess. I have no skills, no profession, no job and I am twenty two, soon to be twenty three. I love computers, I love software, I wanna create software as something I would love and something that would assist me financially to lead a more meaningful life! Please suggest the best way to start. I have "visual studio 2010" and a couple eBooks. I am so tired of the hello world stuff. I want to be writing software. It's just taking oh so long to learn anything meaningful. Help please. Any advice is appreciated.
