http://www.javascriptmall.com/learn/index.htm
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...47864?v=glance

however that link http://www.w3schools.com/default.asp is excellent!!


by the way..that site is only for web languages.....should I really start with Web languages? I was thinking maybe BASIC or i'm about to get a TI-86 calculator and begin learning Assembly language...ASL.

I did TrueBasic, then went to Java.

Dont even want to lear C++, just use java for most things and a lot if similar.

Good path for most people I thing.

hmm, I say, start off with some basic HTML. Then, make your own personal website using a free service like geocities to help accustom u to CODING. Then learn to 'program' MIRC Then move on to C++ hehehe

Currently, I am learning Java.
it is my first programming language that i learned.

before that, i learned VB for my project.it might be simple, but not very good as they can only run in Windows only.right???

Java is more complicated compared to VB.
So far, i don't know how to make Java class file into a .exe file.
so can anyone tell me about that??? :question:
anyway, my recommendations still go for Java or C++ for the beginners.

PASCAL Is used in schools as a learning tool, It is easier than java or c++ to beginners, give it a try if you interested in actually making a prgram, and not bull-****ting then move to Delphi. Also the easiest and more effecient hello world program is this. Put the following line in a new text document:

msgbox "hello world"

Then change the file extension to .VBS and run it.

At least you get a windows output, I also see no posted examples on how to make a hello world program in HTML.

I agree with many of you, I think that HTML is a great start for many programmers. I have easily learned HTML from several different sites. I am also taking VB in school, making my day quite a bit better Anyways, I am learning PHP, I can not comment too much about it, since I have just started it.
