I'm a long time poker player with absolutely zero programming experience looking to start on the path to doing some work on the AI side of the fence. I'm looking for any and all advice on how best to proceed given my background. My initial plan is to shoot for implementing CFRM on something like Leduc Holdem since a.) it's a relatively small game and b.) there is source code out there that I could, in theory, use to check my work and or compare with.
Given that I have no experience I'm starting from the very ground floor. I'm not sure if I should try to take a general intro to computer science class at the local college, buy a book on C++, try and find a tutor or mentor, or just go straight for the project and flail away. If anyone has any advice, be it books or general direction, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm excited about the prospects of learning something new, but taking that first step is always a bit tricky when the landscape ahead of you is so vast!
