Best programming language to learn first?

Question

What is the best programming langue to learn first. Please do not suggest a scripting language or c/c++ as i have tried and found it too hard.

Answer 1

There is no "best" language. However, if you found C++ too complicated, you might want to try XNA (video games) or Visual Basic (programs). Links to both below.

Answer 2

At San Francisco State University there are two intro to programming classes: C++ and Java. The easiest language to learn is probably Basic.

Answer 3

You could try learning VB.Net because it is very easy to learn and explore. But if you don't ahve a strong understanding of object oriented theories then you will have trouble with all programming languages. A strong base knowledge of how computers view objects and how they function makes learning any new programming language just switching to the new syntax.

Answer 4

ive learned BASIC and found it quite easy, but for newbies i would recomend learning Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 coding language first.

Answer 5

I would like to suggest for you to take up COBOL first but you are taking a hard time to learn c and c++. So I think you should try to learn JAVA or Visual basic. :-)

Answer 6

C is certainly not the first one to try to learn. :)



You might try VB6, it's pretty easy to use. C# isn't too bad, although perhaps not the greatest for a newbie.
