Depends. What are you going to do as a programmer? Are goin to be a professional or hobbyist?

C is a quality start. Python or ruby is a quicktstart still not bad at all.

I'm going to attend college for computer science/software engineering here in about a year, but it's going to be something I enjoy doing, not some horrible desk job that I despise. Really, I'm trying to get into object-oriented, high-functioning langjuages.

Kind of agree with this.

C is up there with the best and most useful languages to learn, but some aspects will be difficult to someone with no background in programming. Maybe try Java or Python first.

C. I am no expert but it was my introduction to programming and you can't go wrong with it. You don't want something too boring like python as you want something that will keep your interest and I feel like C accomplishes that well while still being easy to learn

Processing is a fun way to learn Java.

Khan Academy has a JavaScript version with plenty of tutorials. JS is a shitty language but it'll probably help you get some of the basics.

I personally started from Java. However python seems like the best one to go for because it'll teach you good programming habbits such as indentations. So i'd personally recommend either java or py.

Python.

I started to learn programming from Pascal and Basic.
When I studied in university I learned C++. It is perfect language, but not for newbie.
After studying Python I understood that for newbie is better to start from Python. It has many libraries for any tasks and you can make practical things.
You just import library and use needed function.
Also Python supports OOP, Functional and procedure programming.

FWIW, Pascal is still around. I'd like to recommend it as a starting langauge, but I don't think there are many good learning resources for it any more.

Neckbearded Basement Dweller 19/08/11(Sun)11:56 No. 5283

Python seems to be the current "meta" starter language, but there's plenty of others.

C will always be useful and powerful, but unless you get good with it it's useless.

If you want to program professionally you should probably go with Python, Ruby, or Java, but if you want to learn programming for fun I recommend you branch out and look at other languages. Python or Tcl are the starters I suggest.

Also if you're going to take a course, learn whatever language the course is in.

re: programming language The Ancient Programmer 19/08/12(Mon)22:47 No. 5284

Learn assembly language first, any processor will do. A RISC machine like ARM probably will be easier than anything from Intel. Once you can do something useful with that you will be able to master any other language in a fraction of the time because you will understand what is going on under the hood. You will learn several languages during your career.

Don't do this. Learn something easy and high-level (like Python) first, to get a grasp of basic programming concepts, then the low-level stuff will come naturally if you want it to. Anyone that tells you Asm/C as a first programming language will let you rule the world is setting you up to fail.

C is a brilliant language, but if you already know a higher-level language it will be much easier. Don't touch assembler unless you have **good** C knowledge and need the performance/capabilities it provides.

Learn C++ using the Qt framework.
In other words, learn Qt first.
Qt is a full stack with every library you need, and will give you access to higher programming concepts when you will eventually need them.
Python or Javascript as a first language is a horrible idea; Anything that is dynamically typed will do more to confuse a programmer in the long run.
And anything without pointers or enumerators is a shit language to begin with.

You should never, ever, take programming advice from someone who recommends python as a first programming language. Why? Well for one, this advice right here is just bizarre:

>>5220
>it teaches programming concepts such as indentations
My god; WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD CHOOSE PYTHON TO TEACH SOMEONE ABOUT ...
indentation?
First off, the idea that you would choose a language to teach indentation is... to say the least, odd.
The only thing you need to know about indentation is this:
1. Indentations are 8 characters wide. If you meet someone who swears by 2 indentations, they are a bad programmer.
2. Indentations are tabs, not spaces.
3. If you are complaining about having run out of room to code, because your indentations are too large, you should consider retroactively aborting your code, or yourself, because you have screwed up.
4. Thus, while learning, your code should not go past 3 indentations as a matter of principle. When that habit is firmly in place, then 5 indentations becomes the real limit.

And second off, I suspect what he really meant by indentation, was the concept of scope...
Which again, why you would choose python to teach about scope, is bizarre. Any language lacking pointers, is the last thing youd want to use.


Go with Qt if you want to learn to program.

Smith Johnes 20/03/18(Wed)07:42 No. 5357

If you want to become a programmer start with C. But if you want to develop a project, better to consult developers. For example, https://appinventiv.com/ar-vr-app-development/ are too good at it.

C, its simple and close to the metal. Newbies can comprehend it while learning how the computer works, and its basically the swiss army knife of programming languages so it will be useful long after you learn other more specialized languages. Most modern programming languages take heavy inspiration from C so you will have a headstart when you decide to learn some more languages

Python, because it's easy and general purpose. Alternatives are Javascript because you can learn it on Khan Academy and it's really basic, and C, which is a lot more difficult than the previous two, but is the ancestor of many languages, also it runs fast.

For what purposes do you need it? Do you want to learn for yourself - for interest, to get a job, or do you have a specific desire, for example, to develop an application or a game? For the last point, I know that the guys https://program-ace.com/expertise/virtual-reality/ use programming languages ​​such as C #, C ++, Java, Kotlin.

Max 21/05/20(Thu)20:50 No. 5468

Let's make it clear. What do oyu to learn programming language for? Set your goal first.
After that we can recommend you something interesting. Anyway as I see people above used to advice learning virtual reality development. Yeah, that's a good option. Moreover that's truly prospective option. Here is my own recommendation:
1) Java, Python, c++
2) VR development (you also may get more info at https://www.eyeengage.com/ ) because those guys are one of the best in their area.

PyschoMantis 21/06/01(Tue)11:59 No. 5471

I think the main problem is that people dont actually understand the technology properly. Everyone talks c++ and the usual but until we get more people into it then its going to be harder to keep growing the apps. I agree that they should consider vr, if they looked into it properly (https://www.eyeengage.com/what-is-virtual-reality/) then they might consider it more than just a fad. Some companies are throwing billions of $ at it still so why not

Lisp and C. The order doesn't matter, just make sure they're the first two you use.

Lisp teaches you how programing languages treat syntax and semantics, C teaches you how programming languages treat resource managment.
