Hello! I finally decided that it would be worth my time to learn programming for calculators. I have been hoping to become a computer programmer someday, but due to major slothfulness, I am running out of time before I enter college. I have signed up for several computer related courses, but my knowledge is limited to the computer gurus out there. I thought it would be a good impression(however minor) if I could program with calculators. And so, after this windbag of an opening statement, I am requesting the following information: what language(s) to learn, hardware(I have a ti Nspire and access to computers), books, links, and so on an so forth. Any help is appreciated!

nice to see you starting to program! you'll have a great time with it, that's for sure Smiley

well, if you have an nspire i think you should start with lua. it's quite easy to learn, and you can do lots of nice things with it.
here are some sites if you want to learn it:
http://wiki.inspired-lua.org/Main_Page
http://www.inspired-lua.org/
and of course this forums!

good luck!

Spoiler for Hidden:

Spoiler for Still Alive:
This was a triumph.
I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS.
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

Aperture Science:
We do what we must because we can.
For the good of all of us
Except the ones who are dead.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake
And the science gets done and you make a neat gun
For the people who are still alive.

I'm not even angry.
I'm being so sincere right now.
Even though you broke my heart and killed me.
And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you.

Now these points of data make a beautiful line
And we're out of beta we're releasing on time.
So I'm GLaD I got burned think of all the things we learned
For the people who are still alive.

Go ahead and leave me.
I think I prefer to stay inside.
Maybe you'll find someone else to help you.
Maybe Black Mesa -
THAT WAS A JOKE. HA HA, FAT CHANCE.
Anyway, this cake is great:
It's so delicious and moist.

Look at me still talking when there's science to do.
When I look out there it makes me GLaD I'm not you.
I've experiments to run there is research to be done
On the people who are still alive

And believe me I am still alive.
I'm doing science and I'm still alive.
I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive.
While you're dying I'll be still alive.
And when you're dead I will be still alive.

Still alive
Still alive

The two tutorials Nick pointed you at are going to help you program on the Nspire, but if you don't know the actual programming, then check out the official Lua Doc at http://www.lua.org/pil/#online.

Good luck on your programming adventures!  Cheesy
