Hey everyone hows it going?

I'm wanting to learn a programming language, one that might be good for a beginner and has a lot of support e.g. is quite popular so there's loads of tutorials and help for it. Could anyone give me some reccomendations please.

At the moment I'm doing computing at college and we're being taught delphi 7 but i'm struggling a lot, and i don't feel as if i can get enough out of college support like tutorials etc on the internet, so i want to kind of take things into my own hands and learn another language.

At the moment C# is looking promising as on the C# wiki it says that its influenced by delphi .

What does everyone think?
Any input would be really helpful at the moment.



cheers,
salman.
 
C++ is a very good and still powerful one. I know the basics and it's a bit hard at the beginning, but when you understand it and as you learn more, it gets easier.
 
Since I intend to major in Computer Science, as my senior year of high school I am taking some CS classes at a local community college.

First required one was C++, Visual basic optional-used it a little but pretty much a joke.

Anyways about 3 months into C++ and its going OK, learned quite a bit and doing well in the class, I had NO programming knowledge going into it.
 
I was in a similar predicament a while back, I eventually chose C# over C++. However, while it is a bit easier imho, you can do much more with C++.

It personally has a lot to do with what you intend to program as well. :)
 
Thank you all very much for the replies.

I've googled it and thought about it and i reckon i like the look of C++ seems to have loads of support for it, and some of the stuff you can do with it looks awesome.

To start with the type of programs i will be hoping to produce are simple ones that solve simple mathematical problems e.g. how many words in a sentence
etc; well thats the sort of stuff that's on the computing syllabus at the moment.

cheers,

Easy to learn about programming

If you rally want to learn about programming. Fri st of all you have to increase your your logical thinking.

I think to started programming C is the better for clear programming basic concept. You can develop your programming concept trough C language
 
JavaScript and CSS are Scripting languages, not programming languages.

Java is the programming language behind JavaScript, I am learning this at the moment, wonderful language, did VB.NET last year and VB6 the year before that, compared to this those were easy.
 
cheers for the replies.

well i was talking talking this over with my computing teacher today and he reckons i should for now just stick with learning pascal within delphi- since pascal was actually largely designed to teach students good programming practices. Plus he reckons questions about pseudo code and general programming practices that come up in my May examinations are better to be understand along side pascal.

It will probably be sometime next year i think i might try picking up another language hopefully C++.
