It's really easy to learn any of these languages. Just come up with an idea for something to code, then pick a language. Then just search through google for sample codes that do similar things and piece em together (Taking out excess code) until you've got your concept working. Figuring out which part of the code you need and which part you don't is where you learn a lot about the language. I think that's how I first did anything in QBasic, VB, ASP, HTML, and PHP

IMO, VB is bullshit. The most powerful not-web language is, definitely, C++. All modern IDEs (VB, C++, Java, Delphi etc.) have auto-completion (when you press Ctrl+Space) and other such comfortable things.
I don't want to offend anybody! Everything IMO

VB is crap but its a fun learning experience and you've gotta start somewhere. I had no idea about the ctrl+space thing though :O

God i hate coding XD

Are you going into computer science nicky?

McGinge wrote:Why is it that everyone here knows how to program complex programs except me??

I can recommend you to start with Pascal/Delphi as simple language. It is also closer to C++ then Basic.

No, but my dad and elder brother are programmers
Though, I go to programming algorithms lessons. If I'll be lucky then I'll participate in IOI (International Olympiad of Informatics) next year. It is competition for students (17 years max) from different countries, like WCH

I agree with you Nick, VB is noobish and teaches wrong concepts of programming and how computers work. C++ is surely the most widely used programming language today. And C# is bullshit too, it's just a pairing of C++ and java by Microsoft.

McGinge, go here

msg db "so, no one here really likes asm eh?", "$"

Ooo thnx for the info

I like asm but I'm very bad on it

Official Computer Games Thread

I'll split this topic now and create "Programming" one

How did I miss this thread? I've been "programming" since I was 8 or 9. I'm 18 now and going to college for game programming, which I've always done and loved.

On a side note, I started with VB since it's a great starting language, but I agree it's underpowered and I 100% think C++ rox0rs, especially once you know it really well.

I've just added a poll, please vote!

I'd never presume to say what the "best" programming language is, but my favourite language is Ruby.
(I know more languages to some degree than I care to list -- I'm nearly finished with a Master's degree in CS and will start my PhD studies in October)

Your poll lacks assembly!

And PASCAL/Delphi, Java, HTML/PHP/ASP - web programming languages...

But my ultimate weapon is C++ + ASM.

I would cange the question and poll, but I cant. I would cange the question and add more options.

Man... It is impossible to choose "best" language... Best for what? Most popular? Easiest to use? Best for web development, or for other goals? Anyway, I prefer Java for web development (not PHP) and C++ in general (not Pascal and Basic).
