I want to learn to program... help please


Question

Well... since i started with computer many years ago i thought about learn to program in some language but i never did it...

now i have the time to learn i think :D but there are too many languages an things >_< vb , c , c++ , c#, java.... and that .NET that i still dont know what it is...

i always thought that .net was VB 7 in some way and if is 7 you dont need to learn 6 just start at 7 an forget the old stuff but it seems not, that NET is "another stuff"

same in c, c++ , c# i always thought that they ere like C v1 v2 and v3 like Windows 95 98 XP per example... now that c# is released c++ will not be used anymore (like if they were diferent vesions of the same program...) but seeing people here they use diferent languages like VB / VB.NET or C/ C++, c# al toguether....

what i chose ???

i become losed when i hear "framework, an array, string or a boolean variable".

me knowledgence is 0. is there any book webpage to look for info/read ?

damn i feel retardeed >_< but well i supose theres a first time for all things....

I've taken a year of C programming in school, and now I have a job doing C# which I am learning as I go along. It's that simple if you learn the basics. However, as for books, go to

Amazon

and look at those books. Don't necessesarily get those books, but the Deitel books are the ones that the schools use, and they are VERY good. I live near one of the top Engineering schools (Rennsalear Polytech Institute) and they use all their programming books. I have the C and C# books and I would never settle for another set of authors.

As for what language to learn first... I'd vote on C#, it has parts of C and C++ combined, therefore making C and C++ a lot more easy to understand.

The .NET Framework is a collection of libraries and things that make all the ;NET languages work.

The gap between VB.NET and C# isn't that big, and I have a copy of 'Learning Visual Studio .NET 2003', which teaches you both languages at the same time.

I wouldn't recommend that book personally. My boss bought it and it didn't have enough examples. The Deitel books have EXCELLENT excercises and self review questions, if you want I can e-mail a few pics of it. I highly recommend it.
