While it is true that there are a lot of programmers on this forum it is basically impossible for the OP to tell the good advice apart from the bad advice (of which there is already A LOT in this short thread, jesus if you people have no idea shut up, really). I am just going to say that it doesn't matter what language you start with. You can can learn the art of programming in any language. Once you are secure with that you can *very* easily pick up another. That said I would personally recommend Python just because it is extremely fun to program with. If you are the kind of learner who needs to try things out and get results quickly it will suit you. | ||

People giving advice to you here probably haven't even tried to learn a programming language. While I second the notion of visiting a programming forum for this kind of thing (They'll likely have some kind of sticky thread dealing with questions like "what should I learn for my first language?") there are actually quite a few programmers here on TL and it's perfectly fine to ask around here. There have been some previous threads with similar questions: Python Programming - If you go the python route. I want to start programming - The op really doesn't have a clue about where to start and what is what, but there are a few pages of advice there. | ||

FORTRAN and PHP are both terrible ideas for starting languages lol. In fact, I can't see you being likely to need FORTRAN in the future at all unless you work in a specific few industries... | ||

if you are looking for general languages which are useful in most areas, learn Java/C#/.Net, Python is a scripting language i guess you could pick it up on the side, shouldnt be too difficult. | ||

I'm also a computer science student, I have a total of two courses in java sadly i've had both so now I learn myself Note that my post is like - will i recommend java? Yes I will. I have nothing to say about Python never touched it. Whatever you choose you will probably be ok | ||

It's the bread and butter map of this era. Never heard of Java. Hasn't ever been used in any major league, has it? Probably suffers from some major imbalances and it falls of the normal gamer's knowledge.

Anyway my 2 cents: 1. Java, yeah you see then everywhere, I remember my dad telling me that it's faster than flash since it can handle more stuff etc etc. 2. Python, it's uhh, one of the programming languages closest to everyday life english. I think it's one of those languages where I would rarely see comment tags because the commands are very user friendly. I haven't really used either of them since I started out with C then C++. If you want to study the granddaddies of programming, go study them in your own risk. But to address the OP, I'd advice you go Python. | ||
