I would really like to learn PC Developing, I've seen really competent and good developers everywhere, even in this community, really inspires me but every time I get down to it, try to learn it it just seems so damn complicated and hard to learn, I'd really like to ask some people with experience in that kind of stuff if it actually is that hard to learn or just takes long, how long it took them to learn.

Anybody here got any expirience with that?

except the requirement of programming skills programming pc stuff (as in programs/websites) and games are totally different poles, maybe you want to ask on a different forum that is actually dedicated to that kind of stuff if you want better answers my man

Don't forget that Games Development isn't just all about someone typing lines and lines of code and somehow making a game; it involves things such as Animations, Texturing, Storywriters, etc. If your planning on creating a Video Game by yourself, then you will need to be prepared to learn a lot. If however, your planning on joining a Video Game Company or teaming up with a few other Game Devs (2nd tends to be the easier solution), then you only really have to specialise in one sorta branch of Game Development. Best person I can think of to try and get into Video Games Development is taking a look at Igor Aherne's YT Channel and watching his 'How to make a Horror Game' series

As for Websites, in all honesty, they are easy to learn how to do, depending on what language you think is best for you. I'd recommend heading over to W3 Schools, as they give full tutorials and whatnot of how to go about creating a website for different coding languages.

html is easy peasy

python is a good beginner language

i'm also doing java and visual basic which i think is similar to c or c++
