What are the best programming languages to learn now?

How should I learn programming and what languages should I learn first?

  • Answer:

    You should learn programming before you learn languages. Start with http://www-old.oberon.ethz.ch/WirthPubl/AD.pdf Then the choice of language depends on what you want to do - web applications, desktop applications, databases? Learn the languages you need for the job. (A ratchet wrench is a good tool, but not for a carpenter.)

C++ is fantastic! It will help you to understand any other programming language mainly because of your brain after C++. I would also look into Python as it's becoming more and more popular nowadays. Python is supported by Google as it uses the language a lot, for example, YouTube is written in Python. My suggestion is to join some Python forum to learn programming and Python. I know one such forum for beginners over at http://PythonForum.org

Hi, I would advise strongly against learning Java or C++ first... they are both object-oriented and as such, you will need to learn both the object-oriented paradigm as well as the language itself. This is especially true of Java. Also, these languages are limited in the sense that they are not very good for web programming, which is a very exciting platform right now. In my opinion, PHP and JavaScript are quite good as they can be applied using functional or object-oriented programming methods. Once you get some experience, make sure to check out Ruby. It's an amazingly elegant language, which can also be used for web and general programming.
