starting programming language

karmanya · 23-05-2007, 06:09 PM

hey,
i was lookin for a nice programming language to start off.
i was trying to decide between VB, LISP and python.
im leaning more towards LISP and Python cuz then i dont need to buy software

Yes. They are good, but try Java and C++ .

Sykora · 23-05-2007, 07:37 PM

Python.

Lisp is so...well, I just don't like it. Lots of Inispid Silly Parenthesis.

I Would Suggest you start out with C# .

Mirosoft has a FREE IDE for C# Beginners ,

Visual C# 2005 Express

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualcsharp/

Also , Microsoft provides FREE tutorials , VIdeos , Documentation n other Resources for Beginners

Microsoft Beginner Developer Learning Center

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/ex...r/default.aspx

You have all resources , a Free IDE n a Very Friendly and Powerful Language at your disposal

This is the best Platform to start out programming

Python is very easy to use. As its interpreter based, you'll learn and get results faster. But, python will most probably not help you get a career as a programmer . Start with it, won't take too long to grasp the programming techniques and logic.
Then shift to C## and JAVA

wont C++ and c sharp be a little too advanced?, im not worried about programmin as a career but only as a hobby, so with an easy language i wanted to grasp the concepts of programming so later with those concepts i can learn and adapt to using C++ and C# easily

1) Learn C language, a week or two are more than enough.

2) Learn Regular expressions. Being strong in building regular expressions, you can create powerful programs.

3) Learn python/perl/gtk. Depends on what you are more interested in.

eg: windows GUI programming, linux kernel level programming, linux device driver programming, linux GUI devel, linux scipting......
