Thought this would be the best place to post this, what do you all think is the easiest programming language for newbies to learn? trying to help one of my teachers.Thanks for any help.
 
Hmm... An interesting question.

I learned Microsoft Visual Basic 6 first, and then Java.

I think the Visual Basic is a good starting point and you don't have to worry about the GUI and the graphics you can get right into the logic of it.

But on the other hand I think Java is pretty straight forward.

So try one and see what works well for you, pretty soon I'm going to learn C\C++ which is another common language.

What exactly do you want to accomplish?

You might not even consider it to be a programming language but batch is incredibly easy. It's just a DOS command next line DOS command next line eg... Here's something I whipped up in a couple of moments.

Code: 
@echo off
cls
echo Don't press a key.
pause
shutdown -s -t 30 -c "Owned!"
cls
echo What did I tell you?
echo 1) Don't press a key,
echo 2) Don't press a key.
echo 3) Don't  press a key.
echo 4) Don't  press a key,
echo.
echo Now type in the corresponding number to live
set /p answer=

cls
if '%answer%'=='5' goto win
echo Turns out you failed. :O
goto end
:win
echo Turns out you won!
shutdown -a
:end
cls
echo bye

Just copy that into a txt file and save it as .bat

Warning
Don't run it because I haven't looked through it and the part that is most likely to have bugs in it is the part that stops your PC from shutting down.

Run it at your own risk!

Those are probably some of the most popular, on a side note, there is a difference between scripting and programming and the above example is more of a "scripting" example. Even though it is all programming.
 
i started off with C and I am happy i did,
there is a whole wealth of languages that branch off of it
