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.
NEVER EVER VB.NET NEVERNEVERNEVERNEVERNNEEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RR
I learned VB first, though, im still learning both, vb and C++
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.
Java or C#
simple languages and have pretty much the same syntax as C++
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.
