Beginner(noob)

[jwong]

I want to learn programming but there's so many books on it and so many computer languages...I don't know which one to choose. Suggest any other ways in learning programming? what books out there are good? and what computer language is the most popular or easiest to use?

It all depends on what you want to program. Different languages have their pros and cons and are intended for different puposes. Have a look at http://home.nvg.org/~sk/lang/lang.html to see whats out there

I suggest you start with an easy language such as html and/or PHP. Then you could move on to more complicated languages such as VRML or others (personally i think vrml is really fun to use). Then you could move on to C, C#, C+, C++, etc. I recommend C#.
If you wanna start learning easy codes, internet sites containing good tutorials exist, especially w3 schools. If you want to learn a more elaborate code, i suggest a book such as the "for dummies" series.

Suggest any other ways in learning programming?

1. Take logic courses and/or learn to think in a structured logical manner
2. Randomly select a language
3. Google for "hello world" program
4. Do "hello world" program
5. Now apply logic and just play at it

I suggest you start with an easy language such as html and/or PHP

HTML isnt a programming language

html and php are msotly used for websites, and he wants a all around one.

+ PHP is not an easy language compared to HTML which is sooo utterly noobishly basic; I learned it when I was like 10...

I dont know any easy programing languages for noobs like me so i put html in thinking he could get the hang of learning languages. I do not know any all around programing languages for n00bs.
