What is the best programming language for a beginner to learn? I want to go from zero to writing disabled-accessibility programs for Linux and BSD. No experience with either. Back to top ?

Their program has a free "Demo" version that never expires and an excellent command reference. Definitely not the fastest or most versatile language but easy to learn. Back to top ?

The former because it makes the programming much more intuitive--the latter because it can be used on an intermediate and professional stage as well as a beginner stage. Three good choices are C++, C# and Java. In any case, TheNewBoston has great video tutorials explaining most of the stuff you need to know. You might want to learn boolean algebra if you don't already know it, though. This is incredibly useful when you're programming. Back to top ?

Schools love to use that as a teaching language. Google NewBoston that guy has great tutorials. Also Sketch by MIT although clearly a kids program will give you a good idea of programming principles. Also Microsoft has their own SmallBasic designed to teach beginner on the fundamentals of Basic and it also has a translator to translate the code into Visual Basic code. Pretty neat stuff good luck with your learning. Haha looks like someone beat me to the NewBoston tutorials ^^^ Last edited by 0bey1sh1n0b1 on Sun Jul 14, 2013 9:17 pm; edited 1 time in total Back to top ?

It's a good learning language with it is not a programming language. It is scripting. Back to top ?

Shinobi suggested Visual Basic and/or SmallBasic to learn programming. I think it would be a good choise as a first language, if you use Mono. Programming is another form of mathematics. It is like learning to ride a bicycle. Also C/C++ is hard compared to Visual Basic. In the former you'll have to manage memory manually. Back to top ?
