(Web Development) HTML >> CSS >> Javascript >> jQuery >> ??? (You're on your own :D) - (RECOMMENDED FOR BEGINNERS) If you want to dive more deeper but a lil' bit easy - hard: (Programming Language) Python >> C# or Java >> C++ Database Languages: MySQL or PHP -------------------------------------------------------- Better use the SEARCH bar for your question first before asking your question to avoid doubling of thread. :D -Joshua

According to me,try out C++,as it builds up your basic logic ideas,and a good idea of Object oriented programming,Where you are near the real world. Also,in c++,you directly interact with users.

I suggest starting with picking a project you really would like to do. And depending on the project, choosing a language it would be the easiest to do it in. That way it'll be easier to stay motivated, and you'll probably find learning easier as well because you'll have a goal you want to reach. I would avoid C++ in the beginning. C++ Standard Library is quite bare bones compared to other more modern languages, so you'd have to write a lot of things yourself (or look for libraries). Also, you'd probably encounter a lot of confusing concepts that you could avoid with an easier language. I think that your first language should not only teach you the concepts but also foster your interest in programming, and C++ might just be frustrating enough to turn you off. I would suggest starting with a scripting language because they generally make it a lot easier to go from having an idea, to making it work. I'd recommend - Python, ActionScript or AutoIt. Python is great and very popular, so there will be plenty of tutorials, examples, and chances are if you Google an error message you'll find the solution without much effort. Also, it would probably be the most useful for the future. ActionScript is the language used to control animations in Adobe Flash (for games or websites). It has a C-like syntax and is object oriented, so it would be easier to move on from that to C#, Java, PHP or any other of the countless C-like languages. It might not be the most useful language with the way things are going with Flash. The reason I'm mentioning it is that it's very visual. Instead of printing things to console you'd be working with images and animations. You could make a game. That'd be a fun way to learn a language in my opinion. AutoIt makes is super easy to automate tasks (you can write bots) and make GUIs. It's very easy to pick up, you could probably learn it by example (loads of examples on their website/forum). I think you'd have the most fun with it for the amount of effort you'd have to put in learning it.

i do not recomend starting up at C++ if you are a complete beginner, trust me it will only confuses you. if you did understand C++ @Priyanshu Singh at the first time, Well congrats but every people has its own understanding and knowledge, to some people they learned C++ as their first programming language because they are smart enough. So if you are confident enough to learn C++ as your first programming language, GOOD LUCK 😉
