Before i go to college i want to learn to code. Youtube i cant seem to learn from many guides on their they make everything specific like use windows explorer 7 for html. I would rather just learn to code from somebody who can explain things to me. I heard that python is a universal code that i could learn pretty easily even after that i would like to learn c++. If anybody can help me i would greatly appreciate it. Im also interested in networking and white hat hacking.

Coding anti-virus? Well, that's a far task you are trying to achieve. For starters, as people mentioned, learn simple things. Basics of programming, get a feel for that. After that, you will need to delve into malware researching, heuristics, machine learning, and signature generating. That should only take you about 15-25 years depending on how skilled and dedicated you are. Good luck :)

In all seriousness, take it step by step, no need to rush in, it is better to have strong programming basics from which you can work upwards. Oh, and a lot of dedication is going to be needed :)
