The best first programming language?

If you're going to learn C-Style languages, like C, C++, Java and the like, i would learn C#, or C to start. Because then you'll become familiar with the most commonly used syntax in the professional side of programming. If not then i would learn VB.NET, cuz its extremely high level and you'll be able to understand more what everything means.

In the end it's your decision, and no one can TELL you what to pick, you have to decide on your own.

You should start learning the language you wish to use. Nothing more nothing less

hmmmm Malbolge is very EXTREME difficult.......


This is some handy information. Thanks a bunch. I'm still uncertain how to get started. What my goal is: create a Combat Arms Mod. Any help on how to achieve this would be great.

C++ is hard but if you master it you will make great programs.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
cout << "C is easy too dude";
return(0);
}

I didn't have much trouble learning c++ as a first language.
and if you want to make guis with c++ look up the Qt4 framework. it's great.
