Programming languages
I see all this talk about C+ and C++ and C# and feel kind of left out
So I wanna learn.
What programming language should I start out learning, and is there anything I should know before I start learning one?This shit never happens to me

Oops. Thanks Ynot, I didn't think to search.
I've read that Python and Perl are both easy to learn, which should I start with?Last edited by Tyler; 09-01-2009 at 09:40 PM.

it's entirely dependent on what you want to do
Different languages are designed to achieve different things(\_ _/)

That says a lot about human psychology, you know that?

Generally speaking, the basics of all programming languages are all pretty much the same, it's only the syntax that differs.
Really it depends on what you want to accomplish with you program.
More important than language is structured programming. I can't stress enough how vital that is.

I don't really have a reason to learn the programming language, I just want to learn how to so I'll know how too, although it would be cool to write my own program later on.

FreeBasic is probably the best to start learning. It's got the simplicity of BASIC, object orientedness of C++, and the low-levelness of C. I believe that it can do embedded C.

No matter what language you choose, my suggestion is that you have a project. So that when you've learned a it of the language, you start trying to develop a programme to do something. The fact that you want to complete the programme you're making can help with motivation, and it's just cool to be able to do something. Of course, whatever your project is, it probably won't end up as a good app, cause too much of it is written by a really novice programmer, but it's still kinda fun.

Does it simply overwhelm.
