VB... easy syntax. :)

I started with VB5, then I took a break then I got VB6.

Then I got tired of it so I swicthed to assembly language. :)

Start with VB then pick what ever you want.

It's that time of the month already!? ~ hint to mod, make it a sticky already ;)

C# ~= java. Personally i hate both of those languages to a point. I find java really restrictive and C# is better but not great either.

With Visual Basic you'll probably get some results pretty early on but you'll never really learn very much about programming.

I think C++ is a good of a language as any to learn first. It's really a common purpose language and pretty much teaches you most programming concepts you'll learn. That and its widely supported, used in industry, and you'll find many libraries and tutorials for it.

I failed miserably at BASIC and only did marginally better at VB. I'll NEVER get programming. :cry:

I suck. I am unworthy.

:( :huh: :blink: :cry: :unsure: :|

C# is the most modern one and easy to use.

C++ if you want to get geek. (not recommended if you don't work in that field and get much money for this)

Delphi is the pascal route and also interesting, but not good for later business use.

i actually started with javascript, found it very easy, although sometimes i found the syntax wierd. but not anymore (i learned jscript when i was 12 and it was like :wacko:) but then i went into simple c++ (command window stuff only, no windows:() now im learning vb6 and its very easy too. in only chose vb6 cause i cant find anything for c#

Maybe a mod would be nice and merge these threads that ask about programming languages..."Which one is the best" etc...and make them into a sticky? Would be nice to have descriptions and opinions of different languages all in one place :yes:

I learned Html first on my own, then once i got into highschool they taught us turing at first and then moved onto java.. now in college we get a review of html and intro to vbscript, as well as now were just starting to learn vb.net and c++, I like vb.net cause its simple to use/learn but i also like C++ cause its syntax is pretty close to java which makes learning it all that much simpler...

learn standard C , its not as easy to learn as some others but once you get the jist of it moving to other languages will be a breeze and youll have a much better understanding of how languages work in general

For a newbie I'd say start with VB then learn C++ which is what I did ... worked out pretty nicely.

I have ever heard of that way.

Have you developed any programs with VC++?

I started with Pascal, then a small step to Object Pascal (= Delphi). Now I still do alot of Delphi (I love that IDE) and C++.

For starters I would start with Pascal, because it's not too hard, easy to understand and it doesn't flood you with those fancy ultra short syntax tricks like C++ can do.

assembly is interresting but bullpoop for modern coders... C/C++ is poop for newbies cuz its very difficult to understand ! Use Delphi7 its not a shagin Microsoft language and its one of the easiest. if u really like microsoft try VB very easy too !
