It depends on what you want to learn to program. I would probably say HTML is very simple to learn. Then the list of other programming languages that accompany it such as CSS, XML, Javascript etc. They are all to do with websites. As for C++, that is the big boy. C++ is used for creating software, games, applications, petty much anything you can think of. It is an advanced level language. Id say go for HTML in that sector. And Java in the software building area. Good luck!

There are literally hundreds of programming languages:



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_language



Each have their strengths and weaknesses. And, as with any topic of conversation where people have choice, each has its zealots and its detractors. Mostly, "language wars" are steeped in rhetoric, stereotypes and general ignorance.



Before listing off a whach of languages and giving broad-stroke definitions of what each can/will/should/shouldn't do, maybe you can explain a bit about what you are looking to do with a programming language and that might lead to a more focused discussion.

There are so many that I'm not going to go out of my way to research them all, so this list is far from all-inclusive....



We should distinguish between two types of programming languages...



There are SCRIPTING languages. In these, every single time the program is executed, the processor must interpret all the human-readable source code. So then, the language that does the processing must be present on the machine that will be executing the script. Scripts are most commonly used on websites.



Also a scripting language can be executed in two places. JavaScript for example runs on the web browser, and so the source code of the script is publicly available for anyone to view. JavaScript must be installed and enabled on the user's web browser for the script to function.



Other scripts run on the web SERVER, and only the end result (the output) is sent to the user's web browser, thus increasing the potential for security. Some server-side scripting languages are Perl, Python, PHP, Ruby, ColdFusion, and ASP.



Many major applications and even games also make use of scripting languages to allow their users to customize. For example, Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications to customize Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access. LISP for customizing AutoCAD.



Then there are COMPILED languages, where the source code is processed ONCE into a machine-readable form, and it is the new compiled file that is actually executed. Programs that you purchase in a store or download as shareware are mostly all compiled programs. Compiler languages include C++, C# (pronounced C-sharp), Pascal, Delphi, Fortran, Cobol.



Some languages are a combination of these. The "compiler" creates something called "byte-code" which is more efficient than the human-readable source, but not quite pure machine code either, and still requires that the byte-code interpreter be installed on the machine that will be executing the program. These typically come in the form of a plug-in for a web browser. Byte-code compilers include Java, MacroMedia Flash, and Zend PHP Optimizer.



HTML -- NOT a programming language, but Hyper Text Markup Language. A way to tell a web browser how to display things.



CSS -- Cascading Style Sheets. Yet another way to tell the web browser how things should look. This, and HTML, can have programming languages embedded inside them, but HTML and CSS themselves cannot do any decision-making logic and so fall outside the scope of the question in that respect.

There are so many programming languages that it would be almost impossible for someone to look them up and describe them all.



However, the most commonly known scripting/programming languages are:

HTML - Webpage creation

CSS - Webpage styling

Javascript - Extra scripting in a webpage that will let you do more with your page (like form validating, or fun effects)

Java - Create small applications. Can be used on webpages, and while that is a very common use, they can be used in many other places, including stand-alone

C and C++ - Both are used to create programs and software for computers

Now this is a task.

I will answer to the best of my ability sorry not all progamming langs though.

Actionscript - movie timing ,interaction Flash

Assembly - microchip level

Basic - Bill Gates wrote MS_Dos in Qbasic?? not sure...

maybe that why MS say there are a lot of VB programmer?

C - applications

C++ -same ^ inc VC TurboC and Borland C

C# -.net framework

CFML -Cold Fusion Markup Language

CNC -machine coord and cut

COBOL - applications

html -web

:} :) ;) ;] :] ;}

Java - compiled once run everywhere. Embedded Syst,Applet.

J# - MS version ^ Not as versatile .net only :(

Javascript - Functionality of webpage

Jscript - MS version ^ .net

Lisp - list programming lang

Pascal - applications

Perl - cgi

pearl - automation

prolog - ai

python - cgi

SQL - relational DB

VBScript - same as JavaScript

UML - not exactly more like a tool

Unix Shell Scripts - Heard about it.



I might add more :)
