What's a lifestyle of a programmer?

Whats the easiest programming language for an absolute beginner programmer that knows next to nothing?

  • I am trying to learn python at the moment but i cant find any tutorials for it that arnt to complicated for me an absolute begginer to programming. it is something i am very interested in and possable a career i could get into. so if someone could please tell me a very easy and detailed tutorial for python or any books that make it easy enough for an absolute begginer programmer to start with. if Python is to difficult for a know nothing programmer then what should i do and where should i begin?!? help me plz

  • Answer:

    Python is a good choice for a first language (as are many others). It's quite easy to write simple programs in Python. There are some good Python tutorials for the absolute beginner. I put a few links to these and other links that helped me learn up on my webpage: http://www.homeworkcat.com/Python/python... Start with the 'How to think like...' book and then perhaps move on to 'for Dummies.'

In my personal opinion, you can't go wrong with taking classes. Usually, the introductory class will use either C++, C#, or Java. Having taken a Java 1 course, I can tell you that it is relatively easy to grasp. It'll be more difficult on your own, but I would recommend Java for a beginning programmer.

It all depends on what's motivating you to learn programming. If one day you want to work as a programmer, you'll need to learn C/C++ to be taken seriously. In that case, if you're not comfortable with C++ you could look into Java. They're syntactically similar. If your motivations are merely personal, anything you learn will benefit you. There are SO MANY languages out there that you should try all of them and see which one fits you based on your needs and personality.

i would personally start out learning javascript... it is pretty easy to learn on your own because of the tremedous amout on resource available for the beginner thru advanced and it is alot more forgiving when it come to variable.... also learning javascript will help with learning other languages that use similar syntax such as Java, C#, C/C++.

If you've never learned programming, learn programming first. (Learning a programming language isn't learning programming.) Once you understand the basics of programming, a language like PHP is pretty easy to learn and pretty powerful (and free). It's not just for writing web pages.

For the COMPLETE beginner, learn HTML. Then, learn CSS. From there, try Javascript/Java. Then, C or C++ or Visual Basic. That's how I did it.

BASIC (Beginners Allpurpose Symbolic Instruction Code) You asked for the easiest to learn programming language. This is it and it will teach you all the fundamentals, then you can advance to other languages. http://www.programmingtutorials.com/ http://sip.clarku.edu/tutorials/True_BASIC.html http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/ http://home.cmit.net/rwolbeck/programmingtutorial/ http://www.nicholson.com/rhn/basic/ http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/ http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb483087.aspx http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/concepts/index.html http://www.kidwaresoftware.com/vbtutor.htm http://www.yourhtmlsource.com/javascript/basicjavascript.html http://www.freejavaguide.com/ That should give you enough information to make a decision BASIC is the easiest, then advance to Visual Basic, then JAVA and then C. That is the easiest route, but you make your own decision hope this helps falcon
