Was wondering what people would charge (in BTC) for tutoring in computer programming and if it's feasible to do that by VoIP, Skype etc.

Perl
Python
Ruby
PHP
C/C++

Anything can be taught via video conferencing, maybe not judo, but any normal academic subject.

I could teach PHP and C++ - rate would be current BTC equivalent of $35/hr

To learn c++ I often recommend this site.
http://101.lv/learn/C++/
it never gets old. It is the best guide to start with unmanaged oop programming.

It seems it's best to start alone and then have some lessons if needed. Thank you all for advices / suggestions / offers.

you can always learn programming on your own, nowadays education revolution is going pretty good, so you can do it for free, codeacademy.com is a good place to start, they have different languages from html to ruby

Of course, basic math is needed. You need to know the difference between "less than" and "less or equal than", binary comparison (that's still math) and such, at least. Now, depending on what you want to achieve, you will probably need more math knowledge.

Im in high school right now, But I have a math disability, I look at numbers like WTF? Will it be like algebra? or just super basic like adding, mulipication, and division, etc.

http://code.org/learn is a great resource for beginners.

www.lynda.com can come in handy with it's video tutorials, but I think they're paid

Try some free (and basically worthless) www.brainbench.com certifications.

Algebra is heavily used in programming.

Programming is full of

j=1; j<array.length;j++

type lines, no matter the language.

Good luck.

What does that line have to do with algebra?! That's an extract from an if() loop, 3 individual but related statements.

I've been programming for 20 years and can't remember the last time I needed algebra after A-level maths in school :p (but I don't do any 3D gaming progarmming, which is where I guess you're aiming this at)

I am taking a JavaScript and Ajax class right now math isn't really that important you can pretty much find the syntax for anything you want to do these days for instance if you wanted to have the todays date that you could put in a graphic or an image you would call a separate JS file. for instance
<script src="functions.js" script type="text/JavaScript"> the function contained in the JavaScript file would contain this.
function showDate() {
   thisDate = new Date();
   var thisWDay=thisDate.getDay();
   var thisDay=thisDate.getDate();
   var thisMonth=thisDate.getMonth();
   var thisYear=thisDate.getFullYear();
   var mName = new Array("January", "February", "March", "April", "May",
       "June", "July", "August", "September", "October","November", "December");
   var wdName = new Array("Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday",
       "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday");
   return wdName[thisWDay]+", "+mName[thisMonth]+" "+thisDay+", "+thisYear;
}
To make it show up where ever you want you would place it inside a a div element of your choice depending where you want it to show up and you would call it like this.
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write(showDate());
</script>
No math involved there when you get to if statements and while loops that is when the real math comes in.

I've been programming for 30 years - and have taught math in elementary school - what I stated is (albeit incredibly simple) Algebra.

Algebra is math with non-numeric objects. j in the for look is a non-numeric object. j=j+1 (represented with j++) is math. 

I am trying to address at a basic level. Not College Algebra, but more early Pre-Algebra.

Alright, I'll concede that point, when you said algebra I immediately thought of "find x in '2x + x^2 + 32 = 0'" Cheesy

I am pretty sure that if there are variables in a program, there's algebra involved. If there's something other than a number representing a value, it's probably algebra.
