start with delphi, then learn c++ if your up to the challenge.

Hey Emily,

have you got any tips for learning JavaScript. You can see my thread here for more details. I'd be grateful if you could help seeing as I've heard your good at programming!

Thanks,

Retro

Java is being used by most universities now to start off CS students.

My friend told be Java more easy to master. Is it true?

Forget HTML. Its not even a programming language, its a scripting language and its so simply you can easily pick it up.

Id start wiith java and perl. Java is nice and easy, free, and once you have the hang of it you can move on to c++ which is very similar, and JavaScript to create some interesting web pages.

Perl and php are so similar they can be learnt side by side, almost as one language, and also allows you to create some interesting web pages.

If your really up for the challenge learn some functional languages such as Haskell. Its a completely different way of programming and way of thinking. Its amazing how powerful it is. You can create a single line of code in Haskell which would require several in a language like java.

i would stay start with delphi. The language is very simple, and it comes with a cool frontend wasit, so you can have working windows app's in minutes.

If you want more of a challenge try C++ or php

Does anyone know of any good books on beginning programming? "Sams Teach Yourself Beginning Programming in 24 Hours" seems to be a good book for basics
