    Learning

    Is starting with Visual Basic a good idea?

    I bought the book "SAMs Teach Yourself Visual Basic 2008 in 24 hours"

    I know it will take alot longer than 24 hours but is Visual Basic a good startup?

    I'm also going to become more active in the particular section of Combat Arms so I can learn from others work.

    It's better if you start with c++. It may not at first have the satisfaction of a gui like VB but the transfer between the syntax of VB and C++ can be a bit rough.

    Well I guess i'm the odd one out, I started with HTML to learn basic syntax rules, moved to JavaScript to get into a form of programming, and then learned Python because it's a good starter programming language. Currently learning C++

    But yeah, I suggest Python as a first coding language.

    Visual Basic is good to learn for your first programming language. But there's nothing wrong with starting off with C++. BUT WHAT EVER YOU DO WITH VISUAL BASIC, DO NOT RELEASE A WEBBROWSER, A MULTITOOL, INJECTOR, OR AN ACCOUNT GENERATOR.

    VB is great I don't know what some of these people are trollin. I'm currently going through Sam's c++ 1 hour a day and it is fairly easy to understand and does a good job explaining. Python and QBASIC (even though it is from the 80's or something lol) are good programming languages to start off learning too.

    1) I'm reading the 2008 version of that (1 hour a day for 24 hours = 24 days)
    2) It isn't from the 80's because there wasn't even PC's back then. I the 80's it had the computer that fills the whole room
