FAQ: What Programming Language Should I Start With?

[Fabyfakid]

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h> //just for the **** of it

void main()
{
char program;
printf("Enter your favorite program:\n");
scanf("%s", &program);
if(program != 'C' || program != "C++")
{
printf("This program sucks!\n");
printf("Enter a REAL program:");
scanf("%s", &program);
}
else
printf("\nU **** right!");
getchar();
}

I think the above expresses my views on this topic quite nicely...

I think you should start your programming by C language.
After good practice you can go definitely in any language you like.
It my experience , i am working as software professional more than 2 years. I have worked on C, JAVA, JSP, Struts, PHP, AJAX, and few time VB.

Java's actually in demand. It would be a good language to learn, trust me. You CAN do a lot with it.

What Programming Language Should I Start With?

If you've never programmed a "Hello world" in your life, you might want to try HTML first. HTML might seem elementary, but it's an excellent introduction to the ideas of syntax and basic programming. In addition, all web programming languages are pretty much useless without HTML.

When you've got HTML down, a popular beginning language is Visual Basic. Some people claim VB isn't a "real" programming language, but it is powerful despite its simplicity. Most computer-literate users also find the IDE (Intergrated Development Environment) to be pretty friendly, if expensive. Almost all Visual Basic books come with a working model edition that serves the needs of most beginners.

If you've had some prior programming experience or you are exceptionally good with computers, you might want to try something a little more advanced. For desktop programming, you'll hear C++ from a lot of people; C, C#, and JAVA are also good options that won't lead you astray. PHP is a good choice for web programming that's very up-and-coming; PERL and ASP are also popular web programming choices.

i am a dumb one at programming but i am trying to learn C++ , andits seems pretty confusing to me

Liberty BASIC is an easy programming language to learn, but you can still make powerful programs in it. People have made web browsers, spreadsheet programs, media players, you name it!
