As expected, the original poster turned out to be spammer. Locking this thread 
but not removing it because the answers are valuable.

Also, in case you're gonna end up doing any OOP in Nim, [this blog 
post](https://matthiashager.com/nim-object-oriented-programming) helped me 
quite a bit.

Apart from the stuff linked on the "learn" page, there also two channels on 
youtube, 
[kiloneie]([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tVIsDYPClA=PLvwc2YT9MFOlPPexrsY-t7BNTdg2Vsx06](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tVIsDYPClA=PLvwc2YT9MFOlPPexrsY-t7BNTdg2Vsx06))
 and [Universal Programming 
Studio]([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iro4l0bMBb4=PLvxZJTnSXMLrCF9lXyg8D5kxTlXjwPsHE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iro4l0bMBb4=PLvxZJTnSXMLrCF9lXyg8D5kxTlXjwPsHE))
 that made some tutorials on the very basics of Nim.

think.

gameserver << rewrite is in plan, just am lazy w8ting for -gc:arc to finish

Maybe i should start a stream and then whenever i get stuck i go publicly 
harass pros on chat for help xD

Have you checked out the "Nim basics" book, linked in our "Learn" page? 
[https://nim-lang.org/learn.html](https://nim-lang.org/learn.html). IMO it 
focuses on a lot of basic concepts.

But if you really want to start learning "native" programming then I will 
recommend learning some of the more mature system languages, as they have got 
decades of learning materials around (my personal favorite is the [pascal 
tutorial](https://wiki.freepascal.org/Object_Pascal_Tutorial)). This is because 
most of the computer stuff are the same between languages, so skill sets from 
one tends to transfer easily to an another (at least in my experience).

I would love something like that too, but we are kinda short on man power :P 
For now learn the basics and do the research on your own is the only way 
unfortunately.

However, our [chat rooms](https://nim-lang.org/community.html) are extremely 
active, and we would be happy to help with any trouble that you might encounter 
while learning Nim :)

Welcome to the Nim community.

The Nim book is also really nice. If you are just starting, ignore Pointers and 
MetaProgramming for now, practice basic constructs, thats like making a Python 
"Hello World" using CTypes. ;P
