Can anyone help me by suggesting software options for a beginner wanting to learn programming? Can you also suggest reading material to learn coding and basic programming processes?

Thanks!
;)
 
cute, no really though. I don't claim to be a brainiac but I think it would be something I am good at in time and need a starting point. Am I being naive to think I can teach myself?

:confused:
 
i think he was serious?? The dummies books are pretty good for beginners. I was using one learn Frontpage and Dreamweaver for a while.

I was being totally serious. The "For Dummies" series are great books.
 
hmm i taught my self Visual basics just by reading Tutorials, but as that guy said, "i tottally agree" Go Buy C++ For Dummies, Those Books Rule.

Would visual basic be easier to learn than C++?

...It depends. I always like to ask for a person's definition of "easy"

Does easy mean: What language will teach me the fundamentals of object-oriented programming in the shortest amount of time? Does wasy mean: what will allow me to easily create complex programs in the shortest amount of time?

... I believe anyone who truly wants to become a software developer (no matter the language they end up choosing), should start with C. I personally learned BASIC first. As for VB, Visual Basic is a very useful programming language; however, it is not the best language to learn the fundamental aspects of imperative and object-oriented programming. I would first learn C, and then decide on C++ or Visual Basic.

Remember, there is a huge difference between learning a language and actually using that programming language in the real world.
