Help with coding.

It depends of what you're goals of programming is.
Do you wanna hack games, make windows applications, minecraft mods etc..

But I suggest learning C++ instead of C only
It is basically the same syntax but C++ is more of a fully language.

Here's a great E-Book for C++: http://www.amazon.com/Jumping-into-C.../dp/0988927802

I learn language (there is not c or c++) but to start learning it is one of the best site. The site is called codecademy, google it. they give you the console and everything no software needed.

If you learn javascripts, it will become more easy use java after and you will have syntax basic

Hope it help a little !

Python language is used to manipulate data and make small applications. I don't really say that it's bad but for making little applications, Ruby's language is more easy to learn and to manipulate data learn javascript and with javascript you can learn java very easily and with that you can manipulate data well.

I will maybe learn more python one day but I focus on JavaScript and Ruby.

Java have many possibilities, with java the code you create don't have to be re-compilated (to make it another time) because on java it work on all, windows, linux, mac and more. There's many games that use java like Minecraft or even mmorpg like Runescape. With java you can modify the api code, make extention of these game and make hack/Scripts.

The syntax in java is like C or C++ but with little difference wich make it easy to learn.

No problem

Just one thing must be said. Each language has it's pros and cons.

C/C++ is the most completeand used programming language used nowadays, and most of the games in this forum are made on it or are better to hack through it.
It is a great language to learn, once you need to know how things work in a good level before actually making them work (mostly C, as C++ has containers). But... as you can see there's just so much to learn from these languages. Java, in the other hand, does basically most of what you can do on C++. But it also needs a runtime environment to interpret it and translate into something that the OS can actually run - and it costs. Java is by far slower than its C parents. (indeed, Java was made in C++).

So it all depends on what you want to do. I myself think of C/C++ are the way to go, and i'd even say C is the place to start if you want to REALLY learn your stuff.
But indeed, I hardly use C alone anymore, as Object Orientation is a must-have for me, but I recognize the importance of taking it when I was starting. (Because THEN you understand things like how a string works, what is dynamic allocation, and so on.).

Many will say that Java/Python is a better starter, therefore its up to you to choose. Follow what your heart says
