"Hi,
Bit of a random question here.
I'm looking to get into programming and was wondering what the best language to learn was?

Depends on what you want to be programming for. Learning C will give good grounding in principles, then you can move to C++, Java and others easily.
If you want to do it yourself for fun, get a Raspberry pi and do some in Python. That's quick and easy. |

I agree with the above. If you get a grounding in C or Perl or Pascal you'll easily be able to adapt to other languages. C either C/C++/VC will teach you to be strict and lean. Java (not script) is a decent one too.
Once you can code and read C you can near enough understand any higher code as the constructs and syntax are usually very similar.
Going down to ASM is optional from C. In about 6 yrs of doing C only about half dozen times did i need to drop down to ASM within the c app.
Once you have C nailed, you will probably want a prototype language? too.
If you are looking for a versatile language which is useful, then the PHP is a good one, but often you need MySQL to accompany it. Often html and css, then JavaScript so can be a rabbit hole.
Another useful language is c#, a very soft access if you have an echo or echo dot. You can use c# to write new actions. So you could code an action for Alexa to check if you have a new message on fab
A decent article on this in this month's CODE magazine. |

It really is quite a large field these days, so what you intend to do with it really is a good question.
But generic C then C++ is a good start point, syntax and key words is slightly different but the process of all modern coding is sort of a bit like C++
Mostly these days I work in PHP, MySQL with an overlay of JQUERY / Ajax SQL is easy, and the rest are sort of a bit like C++
Though I really did love Delphi, which was sort of a bit like Pascal. but it's dead now, like COBAL which I learned a long time ago, that was shit...
So anyway figure out what you want to do with it then learn the most generic language in that field, cos by the time you learn it it probably won't be used like that anymore  |
