Which is the best programming language to get start?

Does anybody know Which is the best programming language to get start?

WHAT THE FUCK PERL PERL PERL

He asked how to get started, not how to go mad. One thing at a time.

I agree; python is a good choice. And it comes with lots of fun, fairly easy-to-use tools so you can do some useful stuff wherever you're at in your programming experience.

Apparently there was a spammer.

C is the only language which can help you to learn any programming language and help you to implement logic for any language.

My first language was Sepples, it was forced onto me back in high school. A decent first language, better than Java in my opinion.

But why not ``CL''!

Start with C, then you can immediately learn objective-c where you can do amazing things like iphone apps :-)

Well you could always start learning C language first, then go to C++ then after that...learn Java which is a basic learning language to programmers.

According to me PHP is best to start. PHP is Hypertext Preprocessor, is a scripting language used for web development. PHP is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting language.

According to me

Thanks for clarifying that matey.

Sure is Indian Enterprise software development ITT.

You've worked out how to multi line quote. I'm happy for you.

>>132
This software joins multiple quotes automatically.

The following:
> one
> two
Becomes:

one

That should be the standard. But again, I am pro to other ML:

WHY DON'T YOU ``Preview''?

i really recommend PHP for ones who already started on 1 or 2 language, however for a beginner i would suggest Java, and for experts Python, i found python extremely difficult

Jave is the best but I think its little hard to learn. So I am going to PHP that its very easy and the best programming language to get start.

My suggestion is HTML or PHP.

>>136,138-139
That was Reddit quality!

for newbies, I recommend to learn first HTML. it's the basic. After than learn PHP, CSS, and then C++.

>>141
It's HTML, not HTPL.

Please stop that already.

Please note, I am a software developer.

I see this question often and give different replies in different situations. For this I will consider scripting languages as a "programming language", though often they are not.

If your objective is to get in to web development, PHP is an excellent language to learn first. It is a more structured language that is used quite frequently in development.

Please understand that HTML/CSS are not programming languages. I saw someone mention CSS above and a bit of horror stirred up inside me. HTML, as the name expresses, is a markup language. This is much different. There is no use of logical flow allowed within HTML by itself.

Javascript is a terrible first language. I understand that a lot of people wish to learn this first because it's used quite a bit on the web. Unfortunately Javascript has a way of teaching very poor "coding practice". It is like saying you will not learn proper manners. If you transition from Javascript to any other language, it will likely be difficult as Javascript is very relaxed about some "rules" of programming as well as syntax.

If you're going to look in to being an actual software developer, I suggest either C++ or Java as they will give you an introduction to both software development and object oriented workings. Learning to work with objects is quite powerful but requires a bit more effort than working with scripting languages such as JS/PHP.

Watch out we got a badass over here!

Annoying, but it makes me wonder: if >>1-blarg is looking for a job his aims would be different. PHP doesn't pay as well.

I've found that the easiest language for getting started is Ruby. The syntax is very clear and it's a scripting language so it is very easy to execute. Also, with the popularity of Ruby on Rails, there are tons of very good tutorials on the internet.

>>148
_{^{Too bad Ruby on Rails is slow as fuck!}}

The syntax is very clear

Guys, could you please fucking stop the ``trolling''?

According to me, you must start with HTML for web development. It is quiet simple and easy to learn for the newbies. For programming it is good to start with C. Yes, C is the basic of all programming languages. You must get your logic clear by using this language so later it will be helpful for you to develop complex applications using .NET.

Have you guys seen this?:

And this one in 2000, by Andrew Makhorin from Russia!

I suggest you study the C + + or C # that is also recommended but I hate Java because of slow loading and the use of large memory, but Java is a very powerful language.

Programing is very wast thing were you have to get started with all the basic, If you are trying learn programing then i would recommend you to learn basic languages like C and C++ first of all.

Start C then go to C++,
for professional language learn PHP or C# dot net.
At first learn raw programming then go to the core.

It this the troll thread? Okay then.

Your first language should be Javascript, it's the language of the future, no one ever thought of having functions as first class citizens, so it really is the future. I used a game today and it said "Made in JS". Also, I haven't ever seen a game that says "Made in C#". Coincidence? I think.not. Javascript is truly the best language ever, it should be your first and last language ever.

'C' is always the best programming language to start with, it is robust, reliable, easy, structured, powerful, a must learn language for every CS student

Start with HTML and CSS fist. Next PHP

>>159
What is CSS fist? Is that a cool new plugin?
