Today's Programming Languages

Posted by wiredbomb0 on May 19, 2007, 3:40 a.m.

Many people find that learning a programming language is too hard. They often want to being with the hardest first, but programming isnt something that can be learnt over night.

I remember borrowing "Visual Basic .NET for dummies" and take about 1 month to read it all and do the examples. Even then, I couldn't FULLY understand it.

Now after about 6 months, i fully understand most things (about 95%) but if i try and move forward (c++) i find it too hard, but VB is to easy.

If you were going to start to learn a programming language, i would recommend starting off with Visual Basic. you can download from www.microsoft.com then move onto BASIC (i would use darkBASIC) then do something like HTML or Java.

Find out what you like doing, then go futher in that direction.

Or you could stick with GML lol

So get a text editor with syntax highlighting? Many these days allow you to customize the syntax highlighter.

HTML is not a programming language. If you want easy of use, try Delphi (Pascal).
