What programming language is best for beginners?

I'm a beginner in programming (for now i can only work with variables in c++, i haven't yet learned how to use classes) and i really want to know what is the programming language that makes all easier and simple to understand?

'What programming language is best for beginners?"


High level, mainstream languages work best. I rank Python and Ruby at the top for this reason. They are general purpose and very high level languages. They are mainstream enough that you'll find good books and tutorials.





I rank C# next, and perhaps the other .NET languages and Java. They are very mainstream, and reasonably high level although nothing like Python or Ruby.





C++ is a hard language. Although the language is compact, it's quite complex, and using it properly means good understanding of the machine, hardware, etc.. It's a worthwhile language to learn, but I wouldn't recommend it for a beginner.





Note I'm saying the above as a C++ programmer.
Reply:Visual Basic. (version 6 if you can still get it)
Reply:C
Reply:Visual BASIC is the easest to learn.
Reply:Check out BASIC - the BEGINNER'S All-purpose Symbolic Instructions Code....Visual BASIC.NET is the latest version.
Reply:Java/C#. They are commonly used, quite easy to learn and its easy to get compilers/editors. There are also heaps of tutorials around. However, if you are going to be doing C++ at school or something, stick with it. I wouldn't suggest learning VB to begin with as its good to get into the O-O mindset... that's right, VB.NET PRETENDS to be O-O. Learning something like Java/C# may have a slightly steeper curve than VB but it will pay off in the long run.
Reply:Well, at the university, we started with BASIC, then moved to C/C++, then pure C++, then Java(it was damn easy w.r.t C++), then pure ASM.





So, i suggest to start with BASIC, it should take about 2 months to learn, after that you can move to C/C++.





Thanks.
Reply:There is no such thing as a "best" anything. If you're learning C++, stick to it - there's no point jumping from language to language - you'll learn very little that way. The only way to get better is too keep trying. Programming never came easily to anyone - if you want something easy, take up farting or scratching your butt or something.
Reply:c++ is a hard language to understand i think. javascript is probably the easiest. c++ is the best one to use usually because it gives use the most options in what you want to do. java and c++ do NOT use the san sort of commands. to write java you don't need to have any special program. you can type it up in word pad and open it internet explorer. if you can get a free version of dream weaver it helps a lot. Learning java probably wont help you understand c++ any easier though. just have to stick with c++ and hope it will start to make more sence
Reply:VB 6
