Hi,
I'm fairly new to the world of programming, I've looked at a bit of java code from Maple's private servers, and taken a beginners course in c++ (I believe a lot of what we learned is pretty outdated though). I'm looking for a language to start off with.
So far I'm downloading Microsoft's VB Express, and VC# Express to take a look at.
Am I making the right choice? Should I start with VB to get a taste of what programming is like? I seem to get the impression that those who program in VB are noobs, but oh well. I've got to start somewhere.

Regards.

If you search you might find alot of good results, many people make the exact thread you just did and it gets answered very often, so I would check that for some answers.

Also, I doubt the c++ you learned is now "outdated". A language's syntax can hardly become outdated. Provide example?

DUDE, YOU SHOULD LEARN JAVA. ACCORDING TO MY TEACHER, IT'S THE WAY OF THE FUTURE, ROBUST, AND MULTI-PLATFORM!

And of course, no one ever mentions C#

Sad

I wouldn't recommend Visual Basic.

If you want to go down the C++ route I can remember Irwin saying that it's best to learn C first, get a good foothold in that and then move up.

I'm currently learning C#, but if you want a step into .NET and keep with the BASIC idea then Microsoft's new language SmallBasic is derived "from the original BASIC programming language, and is based on the Microsoft .NET platform. It is really small with just 15 keywords and uses minimal concepts to keep the barrier to entry as low as possible".

Please no no no, Do not go with VB. It's so fuckin confusing.

VB= Shitty Spaghetti language, and theres no structure in it at all. When I used to revise VB for some of my friends, they were all full of goto's, it so confusing.

For basic programming, go with pascal or turing, from there slowly learn c# then c++. After you get C++ you can basically go to any language. I recommend Python Very Happy

PERL 6 - Multi-Platform compiler,excellent literal programming language..(i love die)..excellent string functions and regular expressions..

AutoIt - easy to learn language with a excellent community..robust automation capabilities.. not multi-Platform(its designed for windows).. but is a good and easy programming language to start off with

MASM - HAS a good community and forums, can be made to be multiplatform with Compiler Intrinsics, has a HIGH learning curve.. but if you can learn ASM then you can learn almost any language easy..

C++ - Used by many many people, examples and most code found online is in C++, HIGH learning curve,easy code flow with high repitition being key..

Each and every language has there benefits and caveats.. the best one isnt always the easiest to learn and is usually mot the first one picked Smile
