Due to the numerous "i want to start programming, which language should i start with" threads on this board i decided to create a thread that will address this issue. I am not a wonderful writer and i won't say i know it all but i will try. I urge every one on this board to correct me where i err an also contribute in whatever way you can to make this thread worth it. I will try as much as possible not to be biased in this write up.

I am not going to go into detail in defining what programming is because i will assume before entering this thread you should already know what programming is. But in summary programming is the act of creating whatever you want with your brain and computer programming is the act of creating whatever you want with your brain and a computer. You can read more from

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

Programmers could also be called software programmers, software developers and other big-big names you can think of.

Feel free to ask your questions, i will try and answer the ones i can my Ogas in the house will help me with those i can't answer

Please every Programmer should try as much as possible to check on this thread once in a while to help answer some questions Newbies would like to ask.

Hi!

Learning any trending language is easy today due to various available resources.

Currently there are more than 700 programming languages that exists globally. Check out this list of 15 best language for app development, which includes their advantages and disadvantages.

If you have a list of more app development languages, mention it in the comments.

I'll ask you to learn HTML which is like the basics. It'll give you an idea of what programming looks like, then you can go into python and javascript... considering the way tech is moving with AI and ML booming in the past few years programming might not be very much needed in the future as it's needed today because machines will be able to learn on their own and not requiring programs to tell them what they are to do.
But IoT will still need to be programmed I believe and that's where JS and Python come into play.
Most people prefer Python over JS because it's beginner-friendly and cross-platform. JS is a little difficult for most beginners but to be a power programmer you would need to learn the two.
Here are a few links to the best tutorials on youtube I've seen so far.

I still wonder why the powerful Actionscript is not listed.

Python.
Python is a Rapid Application Development(RAD) language which lets you write complex software with less codes.
It is made juicier with the arrays of available modules that makes your programming life fun, easy and exciting.
As a developer, if you pick up python and dedicate say 2 weeks to learning it, You wont go back.

Python is not only addictive but also clean and organized. You can read through source codes written in python and you know what they do right a way.
the syntax design is near perfect as it lets you code without thinking of ending every line with semi-colons, no dollar signs, no var, Dim or the likes.
Python developers here can add theirs.
Please how much does it cost to learn python
