I'd love to learn how to program, especially graphical programming like OpenGL and DirectX or equivalents, and after talking to some family friends who do it for a living, apparently I have the right coding philosophy for getting the job done well, but I just have no idea where to start. I have extremely basic Java and C++ skills, and can do small script prototypes in Python. Where would you recommend I start developing my skills and what are some good projects to start with that teach you a lot?

That's sounds like some solid advice. I'll be sure to have a go at it when I'm next at my workstation

I had cataracts in both eyes when I was born. Right lens removed outright, left was kept because it was no where near as severe. Had surgery for an artificial lens for my left eye in 8th grade as the cataract began growing at an alarming rate. The terrible vision impacted my schooling a lot, especially with sports. How has your situation affected your education and/or life in general?
