What programming language should I start learning....?
-
I know a little HTML and a small amound of Visual Basic. I hate visual basic, as it involves all these 'objects' and it requires a pretty hefty program. I love HTML, as it is just used in something small like Notepad, but its not really a programming language. Is there another language like HTML that doesn't require a huge program like visual basic? Thanks.

Answer:
Question: What are you developing? If you're into Wbe Development, then use HTML, PHP, and XHTML... You could also use Joomla... if you want... But if you're into serious Software development, you could use VB.NET, JAVA, C++ or C# You could also use Python or Ruby on Rails... It's still your choice though... Good Luck!!!

HTML is not a programming language, it is a scripting (markup) language. PHP, ASP and Perl are examples of scripting languages as well. Give those a try.

You can learn Java and Java Script (or) PHP, which is currently on lead but most of the advanced languages are involved with objects and syntax.

Any GUI orientated language such as VB or Delphi by necessity needs a large program - GUIs take a lot of defining. Command line languages have much less overhead in that respect. There are languages that do both - for example C, Java and C++ all are natively command line based but easily extended into GUIs as you skills advance. All three are widely used in the real world. For the true minimum you could look at something like SML where you can fire up an interpreter and type something simple like: 3 + 4; press enter and run it straight away. That is a useful program of a sort - it calculates the sum and prints 7 as the result. Obviously things get more complex as you introduce variable, functions and control structures but it is still much more straightforward than most languages, in part because all memory management is entirely automatic. However, GUI programming is possible in SML but cumbersome, as is input and output generally. Is is suitable for writing large programs and they go together very quickly compared to other languages, but it is not used much in the real world, and works in a completely different manner to other more common languages.

Html is what is known as a markup language. Assuming you want to learn a language to develop websites. well for a beginner it comes down to 2 really: php or c# (asp.net or mono derivative) I would suggest looking at both before you make your decision. if your looking to make money from your developing start with php as it will make you able to bid for jobs on things like rentacoder for the tasks where .net are more commonly used will not be in your skill set for some time. Good luck

HTML is not a programing language, it is a mark up language. There is a difference. You could try Java, but you will find that all the modern programs have objects. If you want a big challenge try Assembly Language.
