I have been wondering where i should start from.I am a newbie to programming.Weighing all the options to see which language would be an easier pick.*sigh* (Any help guys?)

JavaScript
Start here: http://jsforcats.com

I'd say Java or C#. I started in Java, but after reading up on C# I feel like it's a more modern language with better feautures, so: C# :)

Stop! First you need to ask yourself what you want to do and look in to that. But if you want it just learn the basics first, I recommend Java or C#, they are both forgiving enough for a beginner.

Or start with C, might be a little harder but will teach you how stuff works under the hood and that can be useful later in any other language.

Thanks guys.i think i'll go with C# and javascript.Starting basics already...

@miska you maybe right but i am a slow learner so i think C can wait till vacations come by i guess.Right now i'll start with js i heard its quicker learning material and web based.i always wanted to play with web.:-D

@unjx thanks i'm on it.browsing..

I was always told C++ is like learning stick shift. Once you learn how to operate it, it can translate to other cars/coding languages.

In my opinion, a key tip to starting out, and something that always troubled me starting out. Don't try to jump in with a GUI based app. Even if you succeed (unless you're using VB.NET or Visual C#) it will put you off.

Start with a console application in a language like Java, build up from there.
