Easy Programming Language


Question

Recommended Posts

  • 0

I would say COBOL, but I personally like working with C# & ASP

But it would be better to start with C/C++ as a starter's kit

Python is good too, since less code is required to complete a small application. For example, 2-4 pages of building a Java application can be equivalent to a one page of Python.

Cheers

C++ is definitely one of the hardest languages. It's this patchwork of conflicting paradigms and compilation rules... It's hard enough to learn about pointers, but then you have to understand the subtle difference with references (a concept pretty much unique to C++); how do use arrays and pointer arithmetic, but also how to use STL containers; how to resolve circular dependencies (happened to me plenty of times when I started); why and when to separate definition from declaration in classes; why declaring a vector<vector<int>> throws an obscure compilation error; ... for a beginner, it's a hairy mess. (actually, not only for beginners, but that's another subject.) An easy language should have minimal overhead : think Python, VB...

I tried to learn an easy programming language (To get into programming and so) and I found out Python to be very easy in a sense that the tutorials are really meant for those who have no programming background at all ... I eventually got busy and didn't go through with it but I suggest you give it a look

What are you going to use this language for? You should be asking that question first. You don't want to be in a position where the language you learn doesn't help you create what you want.

I personally have started with VB 10 years ago, then switched to C++ to Java and finally C#. I am not counting the scripting languages like PHP/JS/VbScript and some of the less used ones like Perl and Python.

If you want to do web development I'd suggest looking into Ruby/PHP/C#

If you want to do linux/unix development I'd say take a look at Python or C++ or Java

If you want to do windows development look at C# or VB.NET or Java

Keep in mind that the .NET framework on which C# and VB.NET runs also supports IronPython, IronRuby. If you are developing on windows definitely take a look at C#, it is my favorite language so far.

Keep in mind, best way to learn is to keep writing code. Also, look at open source projects to see how people are tackling certain problems, it always pays to read good code.

Dude you should look up C# it is easy and very useful. I have been studying it for a while now and there is much you can do with it. Not only can you use it in a wide variety of platforms like Linux, Mac OS , Solaris and Windows but it can also be used along with ASP.NET to make high end dynamic websites. Give it a try

I think it's good to start on something easy and ease in to the "harder" stuff. I started on Basic, then to VB, then on to C like languages, e.g. C, C#, PHP, etc.

Personally, I think the most important part is understanding the logic, after that the syntax is trivial.

I am surprised there are not more replies saying PHP. I think PHP is very easy, probably the easiest language that is used by a ton of people today. I make web sites and I use PHP a lot but I have a complex about it since I think it is so super easy. Kind of makes me want to ASP.NET more often but of course most webservers run on Linux. I think that PHP is a blessing to a lot of people because ASP.NET (C#) is quite a bit harder to learn (but it is great once you get the hang of it),

What is the easiest programming language to learn?

What is the quickest?

At the present time, with just a mouse click giving us the full study material and all other details, any programming language is easy to learn...

I try some hand in C# and JAVA...

Put some effort in it and you'll find it very easy..

Html is very simple.. but it is very older ..

i would suggest you to go for PHP or asp it seems to be difficult but when you start learning it... you will just enjoy learning it.. it is very interesting.

PHP is quiet latest then asp..

so get learn now and be a perfectionist...

BASIC - or more specifically Visual BASIC (to do the simple stuff) if you are an absolute noob. If you know the difference between a while loop and a do-while loop (trust me there is one!) then you're probably ready to learn some Object Oriented Programming - recommend starting with Java and then learning pointers and moving over to C++ for some serious work.

Hope that helped!

not basic, throwing a bone like that can misguide someone if he googles basic and finds the wrong stuff... basic isn't really a usable language anymore, even though microsoft did something lately to revive it as a learning language, forgot how they called it, still, visual basic is way to go my opinion, 6 preferably, you might have bit trouble getting it, pm me and i might be able to point you in right direction.

.NET VB is way harder to learn, i started learning and finished interest in VB 6 when i was 10-11 sorta

also about what bradwilson said, you shoulden't go to PHP until you know HTML, by the way, HTML is NOT a programming language, its a way to format pages. i suggest going into normal programming before web programming, you will have easier time grasping the main concepts.

if i were you, id care less about time and more about actually making sure your learning the fundamentals of programming, i can find you tons of people who know C++ C# java tens of languages and can't really program, a language is just a syntax, a tool, programming is creativity, there are tons of books about programing fundamentals, i suggest picking one up, and visual basic 6 is a great language to start with.

    • Good tips. Samsung's One UI 7 blocks you from installing APKs by default. To turn it off, go to Settings - Security and privacy - Auto Blocker. I recommend turning it back on after you installed the APK
    • Windows 11 24H2 gets big feature update with improved Settings, new BSOD, and more by Taras Buria Microsoft has released a big new feature update for Windows 11 version 24H2. Today's optional release is available as KB5062660 with build number 26100.4770, and it adds plenty of new features, including agentic search in Settings on Copilot+ PCs, Quick Machine Recovery, Recall for users in the European Economic Area, new Click to Do actions, File Explorer improvements, and more. Here is what is rolling out gradually: [Recall] New! Recall is now available in the European Economic Area (EEA). For more info, see Retrace your steps with Recall. In the EEA, Recall supports exporting snapshots to share with trusted third-party apps and websites. When saving snapshots is turned on for the first time, a unique Recall export code appears. This code is required to decrypt exported snapshots and is shown only once during initial setup. Microsoft doesn’t store or recover this code. To export, go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Recall & Snapshots > Advanced Settings and authenticate with Windows Hello. Choose to export past snapshots (from the last 7 days, 30 days, or all) or start a continuous export. Third-party apps can access exported snapshots only when both the export code and folder path are provided. If you lose or compromise the export code, reset Recall to generate a new one. New! For all Recall users worldwide, you can now reset Recall and delete all its data. Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Recall & Snapshots to find a new advanced settings page. There, you’ll see a reset button that deletes all your snapshots and restores Recall to its default settings. [Click to Do] New! Practice in Reading Coach is a new Click to Do text action that helps you improve reading fluency and pronunciation. Select text on your screen, choose Practice in Reading Coach, and read the text aloud. Reading Coach gives you feedback and shows where to improve. To use this feature, install the free Microsoft Reading Coach app from the Microsoft Store. New! Read with Immersive Reader is a new text action in Click to Do that displays text in a focused, distraction-free environment. It helps improve reading and writing for all skill levels and abilities. You can adjust text size, spacing, font, and background theme, have text read aloud, break words into syllables, and highlight parts of speech. The picture dictionary shows images for unfamiliar words. To use this feature, install the free Microsoft Reading Coach application from the Microsoft Store. New! With the Draft with Copilot in Word text action, you can quickly turn any recognized text into a full draft. Whether it’s a sentence in an email or a snippet on your screen, press Win + Click on the recognized text, then select Draft with Copilot in Word. No more blank pages. No more writer’s block. Just momentum. To use “Draft with Copilot in Word” a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription is required. New! Click to Do on Copilot+ PCs now supports actions through Microsoft Teams. When you select an email address recognized by Click to Do on your screen, you can choose to send a Teams message or schedule a Teams meeting. These options make it easy to ask a question or set up time to talk without interrupting your workflow. [Settings] New! The new agent in Settings is part of the Copilot+ PC experience and is designed to address one of the most common frustrations: finding and changing settings on your PC. You can describe what you need help with, such as “how to control my PC by voice” or “my mouse pointer is too small,” and the agent will suggest steps to resolve the issue. The agent uses AI on your PC to understand your request and, with your permission, can automate and complete tasks for you. This experience is rolling out to Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ PCs, with support for AMD and Intel™-powered PCs coming soon. It currently works only if your primary display language is set to English. New! On non-Copilot+ PCs, the Settings app now shows the Search box at the top center to make searching easier and more consistent. Fixed: If your PC is set to ‘Do nothing’ when you close the lid (under Settings > System > Power and Battery) and the Settings window is left open when you close the lid, reopening the lid might cause the Settings window to stop responding. It might become unresponsive to input or resizing and instead just display your accent color. Fixed: Settings might stop responding when you try to save Wi-Fi network credentials. [Windows Resiliency Initiative] The following changes are part of the Windows Resiliency Initiative announced at Ignite 2024: New! Quick machine recovery is now available. When enabled, it automatically detects and fixes widespread issues on Windows 11 devices using the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE). This reduces downtime and avoids the need for manual fixes. If a device experiences a widespread boot issue, it enters WinRE, connects to the internet, and Microsoft can deliver a targeted fix through Windows Update. IT admins can enable or customize this experience for their organization through the Intune Settings Catalog UI using the RemoteRemediationCSP. There is also a dedicated quick machine recovery settings page available under System > Recovery > Quick machine recovery. Today, it’s enabled by default for home users. New! A more streamlined interface appears during an unexpected restart. This updated design aligns with Windows 11’s visual style and helps you return to work faster. The screen displays a more readable layout while keeping the technical details visible. This screen appears with a black background. [Start menu] New! We are adding a Boolean option to the Configure Start Pins policy to allow admins to apply Start menu pins once. This means that a user will receive admin pins on day 0 but can then make any changes to their Start pinned layout and have those changes safeguarded. These changes can be optionally applied through the existing configuration Service Provider (CSP). [Snap] New! Improvements make it easier to learn and use Snap in Windows 11. Inline messages now appear when you accidentally open the Snap Bar by dragging an app to the upper center of your desktop or open the Snap menu by hovering over the Minimize or Maximize button. These messages provide helpful tips on Snap app windows and show keyboard shortcuts. [Windows Search] New! Windows Search settings are now easier to find. Instead of two separate pages for settings (“Search permissions” and “Searching Windows”), you can find everything in one place under Settings > Privacy & security > Search. This new page has a modern look and a better layout, so you can quickly view and manage all your Windows Search settings. [Input] New! The Gamepad layout of the Windows touch keyboard now includes enhanced controller navigation and improved focus handling for child keys, menus, word suggestions, language switching, and settings. A new Gamepad keyboard, designed for gaming, also supports PIN sign-in on the Windows lock screen. It offers controller shortcuts for quick PIN entry and full navigation for those who prefer not to use shortcuts. [File Explorer] Fixed: If you open More options ​​​​​​​ in File Explorer to view the full list of folders for the current path, the dropdown menu might not display completely, making the bottom part inaccessible. Fixed: File operation progress dialogs might stop appearing when displayed from apps. Fixed: Syncing more SharePoint sites to File Explorer might slow performance when navigating folders or opening the context menu. This can also affect how quickly files launch. [Desktop icons] Fixed: If you have an app pinned to your desktop and it updates, the app icon might not display correctly and instead show a white page. [Notifications] Fixed: When you select a Windows notification, it might not bring the related app to the foreground as expected—for example, this can happen with Outlook notifications. Here are the changes that are available to all users right here and right now: [Authentication] Fixed: This update addresses an issue that affects the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS). LSASS might stop responding during machine password changes with specific audit settings. [File Explorer] Fixed: File Explorer Home might unexpectedly only display a single folder (for example, Desktop), rather than the expected content with recent files and more. [File system] Fixed: This update addresses an issue in the Resilient File System (ReFS) where using backup applications on large files could occasionally result in system memory becoming fully exhausted. [Graphics] An issue where external graphics cards connected through Thunderbolt weren’t always recognized in some cases. [Input (know issue)] Fixed: An issue when using the Microsoft Changjie IME (input method editor) for Traditional Chinese might cause problems such as not being able to form or select words, unresponsive spacebar or blank key, incorrect word output, or a broken candidate window display. This can occur after installing KB5062553. Fixed: This update addresses an issue that affects Phonetic input methods, including the Hindi Phonetic Input keyboard and the Marathi Phonetic keyboard, which might not work correctly after installing KB5062553. [Stability issue] This update addresses an issue observed in rare cases after installing the May 2025 security update and subsequent updates causing devices to experience stability issues. Some devices became unresponsive and stopped responding in specific scenarios. [Windows Firewall] Fixed: This update addresses an issue found in Event Viewer as Event 2042 for Windows Firewall with Advanced Security. The event appears as "Config Read Failed" with the message "More data is available." For more information about this issue, see "Error events are logged for Windows Firewall" in the Windows Health Dashboard.​​​​​​​ You can download KB5062660 by heading to Settings > Windows Update and clicking "Check for Updates." The update is also available via the Microsoft Update Catalog.
    • With all this development of their web-apps, wonder when they'll begin the same stupid move of replacing their native Desktop apps with the web-based trash like they're doing with Outlook...have a feeling that's not far off.
