where can I find good bitcoin coding tutorials??

google and youtube dont spit out anything

Bitcoin isn't a programming language, you don't learn Bitcoin coding. First you have to learn a programming language and then learn how Bitcoin works so that you can write programs that do stuff with Bitcoin.

I know, was a unlucky wording

Im looking for tutorials on how to develop with bitcoin, especially tutorials on how to set up bitcoind on a vps and run a site that accpets bitcoin

Bitcoin.org has a lot of stuff in their developer documentation here: https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-documentation

21 also has a lot of tutorials for writing programs that use Bitcoin: https://21.co/learn/. Some of them require the 21 computer, but most should work without having one.

Bitcoind -> https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node
PHP intro -> https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/PHP_developer_intro
other APIs -> https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/API_reference_(JSON-RPC)

I did a series on exactly this back in April.

3. Customize the bitcoin.conf - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W54aRszkEOI
4. Testing with bitcoin command line interface - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmdYD7vutTI
5. Your first JSON-RPC calls - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARL_PvDEBtU
6. More JSON-RPC calls - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyLCKMqkWIA
7. Wallet Notify - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4BPt4RXOm4

Hey there,

Kindly take a look here and let me know what you think :

I have a lot to discuss.

Thank you for this, Im also searching for some tutorials on integrating api codes of bitcoins into blog or website, it would be a great help.

I just looked it up on youtube, i think this could helpful for you:

Hi OP, what do you mean by coding in Bitcoin? Do you want to create a clone of Bitcoin or start a new altcoin? Or do you want to code apps or websites to accept bitcoin?

What ever your reason is, github.com is full of open source codes available for you to download and for your self study.

I saw Andreas Antonopoulos's book Mastering Bitcoin talked about. Just started reading it, so far it seems good.

A big thanks to everybody who posted links here, they're gonna come in handy.

nowdays, you do not need to fully understand how bitcoin works, lots of services provide excellent APIs to make your work and code easy.

See https://www.bitgo.com/api/  And https://www.blockcypher.com/dev/bitcoin/

You can do mostly everything with these 2 APIs

If you're into C# check out https://www.kycosoftware.com/code/nbitcoin-create-sign-a-bitcoin-transaction (https://www.kycosoftware.com/code/nbitcoin-create-sign-a-bitcoin-transaction).

It uses MetacoSA's NBitcoin and QBitNinja library but goes through how you can build up, sign and submit a Bitcoin transaction.

I can only advise you to learn C family language, because cryptocoins are built on this language, except some of them, and when you feel comftable enough you will see that bitcoin code is easyer to read and understand then when you had a look first time.
Now if you want to know if there is a better way to learn bitcoin coding, then, no. It is the only way to learn how to modify and work with bitcoin code, if you find someone talking about bitcoin code he will just use the c family languages to show some tips and tricks because as long as you know what you are reading, it is crystal clear.
