what is a good programming language for beginners? a good program?

Answer 1

BASIC s a gud language for beginners..addition subtractions etc are gud programs 2 start with

Answer 2

I recommend BASIC or PHP. Personally I don't like PHP too much, but almost every beginner I know started out with that and they found it very easy to understand. It is a good stepping stone to more complex languages. Plus, you can make some pretty cool websites, which for most people is more useful than being able to write a program that can play tic-tac-toe on your desktop computer.

A good book for getting started with PHP, MySQL and web-related programming (almost all of the concepts will carry over to non-web):

Languages that you should not start with if you have never done any programming before:

C / C++ / C#
Perl
Ruby
VB.NET
Java

These are all sophisticated languages that utilize programming concepts that can be very hard to understand if you don't have the right foundation of the basics first.

Also, HTML/CSS/DHTML etc. are not programming languages, so don't let anyone let suggest otherwise. AJAX is also not a programming language, it is a web development technique.

Answer 3

Java became left closed source for too lengthy and grew to develop into stagnated, now it really is basically utilized in some applications, and it really is unquestionably now complicated to apply. C++ is from 80 3' and does not have garbage series. which means a unmarried lacking line might want to really crash your computing device with out you sorting out why. seen effortless is broadly seen now to not also be a authentic programming language, as well that, the approaches of GUI advent through .information superhighway are precis and any domicile windows you're making received't behave logically. Python is a superb programming language truly for starters, it has each and every thing you want, garbage series, dynamic typing, OOP. Its basically draw back is that it would want to't be compiled: you should have python put in first for this system to run. C# is a coming alongside yet with out dynamic typing also not solid for newcomers.

Answer 4

Depends on what you want, Flash, Webdesign, Game Design, Application Design. Something simple is HTMl which is a programing language for making websites. You can use a HTML editing program like FrontPage or Expression Web which is harder and costs more. In these application you don't need to write much code it will be written by the program. You just make what you want and as you do it it will write the code. For example you insert an image in FrontPage, it will automatically generate a code like this one:

The base of the HTML file is like this












hoped that worked

Answer 5

Anything with mainstream support. And high level languages are better.

My top two choices for mainstream high level languages are Python and Ruby. They are very high level languages, in use commercially, have multiple resources including books, and can be used for both desktop and web programming.

Below that comes the .NET languages (C#, VB .NET), Java, and C++. Yes, I would place C++ at the same level as C# because modern C++ is quite different from old C++.

Anyway, they have even greater mainstream support, although they aren't as high level as Python and Ruby. C# is really nice though (on Microsoft systems).

If you're going for web programming (making web applications), you lose a few choices. Again, Python and Ruby are useful. C# and VB.NET can be used in ASP.NET for web applications. So can Java. PHP is incredibly popular for web applications, and is probably easiest to start with for web programming.

Read up on the various choices. And then pick one.

Answer 6

perl. It is written like the spoken language, and is fun to learn. The internet if full of free tutorials, the language is free to download, and perl communities are friendly. It works on just about every computer (mac, intel, windows, linux).

For Windows, get it here:

For Linux get it here: (it's most likely already installed under Linux!)

the simplest program.

#!c:/perl/perl.exe
print "Hello World\n";

Answer 7

Learn PHP.
It is simple and widely used, you will be able to apply the concepts right away in the real world.

Answer 8

C or C++ "Hello World"

Answer 9

pascal, hello world

Answer 10

HTML, then JAVA, then C..then try AJAX.
