This question or similar comes up here almost every week. You may want to search to get a feel for what others have said. Also, you need to provide more details regarding exactly what you are trying to achieve, and what you already know. 2 Likes |

I would recommend you start with Python, because it is simple and succinctly comprehensible than many other programming languages. If you do you would not regret it - for choosing it as something to start with. Good luck! 2 Likes |

Pick an "easy" programming language. You'll learn more new things with an easy language than with a hard one that forces you to mess around with details that don't matter (at least for many applications.) My own languages of choice these days are Ruby and Java. Python is really popular too and relatively easy. Stay away from languages like C and C++ or anything that involves manual memory management. I'd even also suggest staying away from Java, since it requires you to declare the type of a variable before you use it. Ruby and Python are both very good bets. 1 Like |

There is no "best" programming language. The subject matter is much more subjective than just that. Depending on what you hope to program, i.e., if you want to automate daily tasks, or hope to write low-level programs that interact with the CPU, you have have very different areas of study, and your mileage might vary between that which one person may recommend to another. Personally, as a beginner, I'd recommend Python. It's quick, dirty and easy to learn, and teaches you simple user-level ideologies, and generally good practices that you can adopt to other languages that are procedural.

A month or two after I posted in this thread, I think my answer remains the same. Pick Python or Ruby. Learn programming using those, master the important concepts. 2 Likes |
