I want to learn a programming language, i thought of C++
My friend told me to start with Visual Basic....
what do you guys think?
if i start on VB, will it be easier after on C++?
and anyone know good website/web-book/book to learn?
 
I am curantly(SP?) learning c++ it is alot easier than you will think, I think you should go with c++ because there are so many ways to use it and vb doesnt have as many featurs.
 
if i start on VB, will it be easier after on C++?

Maybe maybe not. It kinda depends on your problem solving ability as well as how deep you get into VB. For some people, the only real difference is syntax .. other people have to get around understanding a whackload of stuff :)
 
I have to agree with preator, it may have been the case in the past the VB was a good language to start before moving into C, indeed that how i started, however modern c++ packages (and i'm think of visual here) are getting much easiler to start, and if you can get into the object orientated mindset early then it will drastically help you out further down the line.
 
Hi, As a programmer myself I started out on Visual Basic, but I can now program in C#, VB.NET, C++.
I suggest if your going to start coding, either use Visual Basic or C# you can download both from the Microsoft website.
(Visual Basic and C# have the same sort of code structure)
 
fortran



actually I learned C first and I have been able to figure out most other languages I have encountered since.
 
It depends on how intense he plans to program. If he plans to just use it for fun then I wouldn't suggest diving in C++ to much learning.
Whereas if he is going to do more complex software development then maybe he should start in C++.
I started in C# then moved up to C++ but I still prefer C# until I get more experianced in C++
