Thanks

oluagness: i installed java and netbean, what else do i need to install to write java code?

Javanian: C++

C++ is a statically typed, free-form, multi-paradigm, compiled, general-purpose programming language. It is regarded as an intermediate-level language, as it comprises a combination of both high-level and low-level language features. C++ is one of the most popular programming languages and is implemented on a wide variety of hardware and operating system platforms. As an efficient compiler to native code, its application domains include systems software, application software, device drivers, embedded software, high-performance server and client applications, and entertainment software such as video games.

Thanks ....waiting for ur answer.....

thanks

ibnquasale: i am a very confused person when it comes to choosing an "appropriate" programming language . i know the gurus here can help me. i read statistics and maths.
my desire is to be able to design front ends for my databases, design GUIs and desktop applications that can also serve as front ends or data analysis applications.

i know little of PHP, Python, CSS, Mysql (through video tutorials). one of my main challenge is i don't know what to do with them, especially after learning the basis..... i don't mind being an apprentice to an expert here

thanks in advance.

ciphoenix: Do not recommend without proper reason. Even in developing websites, php isn't a first language.

lilyafaten: Exactly, there are scripting languages like dreamweaver 8.1 that is more friendly since it incorporates php ,php.net, Asp.net, C++, etc and doesn't need much coding if u are a good interface designer, and if u don't know how to design, u code while it does d designing.

LordRahl001: I really appreciate javanian for creating ds thread! (Would love to meet him/her in person smday if God xo pleases. I apreciate those that av contributed constructively to this thread. I hope to c naija programmers become hotcakes in d international market. I don't mean to create any any confusion or debate but just want to patch xome loose ends.
Firstly, html, css, javascript and php are not programming languages.
HTML is simply a markup language that only a browser understands. You can try to read the content of a page with your textbox or texarea and see what it displays. Ur raw html codes. You processor does not act on HTML codes, ur browser does.

CSS( cascade style sheet) is best at what it is stylesheet. Jt to add flavour to the presentation of a n HTML page. Developed with the oop perspective of reusability. Although, css is being imported in other apps like LWUIT for j2me and phonegap for rendering of pages

Also javascript like you said is used to add dynamism to a page and make it more lively. Bt its just a script like an applet in java. To carry oit a specific task on as needed basis. Javascript, css cannot stand alone as they needed to be added to a webpage b4 both can b functional xo idont think they qualify to be called a programming language but they are real deal esp the javascript library jQuery. Its a very great wonder.

For php, have you ever checkd d processes that are running on ur system and by chance u saw php No because php needs to be installed on a sever which can b Apache Tomcat, the popular one(imo)for wamp and xamp, also glassfish server(jsp). To further elaborate on ur defination of web application, it is an application that is mainly understood by a browser(whatever type) safari, IE, navigator, crazy B, flock, opera etc. Honestly I stand to be corrected and will really appreciate feedbacks from the gems here. As really I appreciate the posts and contributions and also the couurage of javanian. May God continue to bless you

To the topic, what Language should I start with, I will ask first do you understand algorithms and flowcharts, if yes, then can you write little programs with QBASIC I know many eyebrows will be raised here but one thing is dat is d purpose of that language: to teach beginners. It is pure english, using keywords like input whych wit common sense means insert, supply or whatever! And print, then from QBASIC you can go GUI with VB6, (u said am outdated) it has d same syntax with QBASIC just the GUI and database diff. While learning vb6, u can take a crash course on html but pls don't use IDE. Start with notepad. Gives u total control. Then move to the .NET framework or use ur GUI idea and ur flow of control in QBASIC to delve into java and the world of OOP. Then brush up ur HTML with css and javascript( tho I'd rather jQuery) from there, I don't think u need anyonw to tell u where to go as u will c lots of doors b4 u. If u r into java, u'll c javacard, jsp, jsf, java TV, if u r into microsoft, u'll c d .NET frameworks lyk visual c#, vb.NET, windows fone, asp/aspx etc and if u wuld love open source scripts, then php would be really intruiging. I hope ds helps sm1 jt lyk it helpd me coz dts my ladder. Again I thank and aprc8 everyone here. C u at d top by God's grace!!!!

oluwamitomisin:
I found this thread really interesting even before joining Nairaland.
I then started out with learning QBASIC as you suggest but ran into a complication- QBASIC is not running on my WINDOWS 7 PC. Any suggestion on fixing this? I have a tutorial website i am following already, but they seems to be using older versions of WINDOWS.
