What is the best language to start with?

What's the best programing language to start with ?

  • Hi! i'm 14 and i want to learn how to program. I already experimented small basic but it's to simple in every way. I am looking for a language that isn't very hard to "learn" but with loots of functions (if there is such a thing). PS: I heard about python and ruby are they any good for a beginner?

  • Answer:

    Python and Ruby are decent, but are more used for scripting. However, python is pretty powerful and there's even a 3D engine (panda3d) for it. More popular languages that are pretty easy to learn are Java and C# - both can be used for free, both have loads of tutorials available, and both are powerful and used by all kinds of people professionally. I would recommend one of those two, especially since they are similar to C++ and if you wanted to use C++ in the future you would have less trouble I think. Java would be a little harder to set up, because you need 1) the JDK, and 2) either a separate IDE (program that you use to make your programs) or write code in notepad and use command line tools. An advantage is it can be used on a lot more platforms than C#, if that appeals to you (C# is for the most part Windows only). C# has a powerful IDE that you can get for free (search for visual c# express) and it's just as powerful for what you'd need it for as the $2000 versions. Plus, Visual Studio is the most popular programming tool ever (for Windows).

Start with C. As a command-line tool, you won't make very "fun" applications, but nearly all programming languages are based off of C, including Java, Objective-C, C++, C#, and more. Once you know C it is very easy to learn other languages because they're all based on C, so all of the concepts are the same. I started with C, and I now write full Mac OSX and iOS applications. Fun stuff.
