Python is the easiest to learn by far and leads into the other languages easily. Its the first you learn st school so start there fam.

Hes right tho. There is a reason why top unis such as MIT phased c++ ou in favir of python. OP there is probably MIT OCW intro into programming. Free pdf book, excersizes snd all.

I'm not a dev myself, just tried some times but, if you want to be "old school", start C.

If you want to be newschool "and cool", do stuff quickly and easily probably Python. Python is cool since there is a LOT of module, a big community and you can do web with it.

Some will say Python sucks, some say it rocks.

Advice: don't listen anyone, just try some language and find the one you like.

If you want to do web you should probably do HTML5, CSS3 (I know it's dev, shut up) then Javascript and PHP. Or instead of PHP Ruby on Rails or Python with Django.

But C looks great since you'll start from something closer to your machine.

It depends of what you want to do, how much time you want to learn a language and what you prefer.

Personally I'm a huge proponent of Go-Lang. But in general you will find that it's more suitable to fit what your project is to the language you use. You wouldn't really want Go for a full gui app, nor would you use python for game hacking.

What do you want to do?

As for just to learn basic concepts and the fundamentals I'd recommend C# as it's very current and marketable as well as being usable in ASP.net for web development easily while being transferable to most C based languages.

Python is a pretty good choice. It's flexible (you can program in different ways) and easy to learn.
The 2/3 thing sucks, though. Learn 2 if you want to use a lot of other people's code in your projects, learn 3 if you'd like object orientation to be closer to actual object orientation.

Really though, almost any language is good. You'll probably learn several if you keep at it, and none of them are as important as being able to figure out how to program (ie fucking DESIGNING that shit so it works, not just knowing what all the keywords do).

Avoid Lua, if only because it pretty much forces you to start counting at 1 instead of 0, and you'll be terminally fucked for logic if you fall into that trap.

I should probably say, I'm doing this to get a goid development job, so what is used the most on workplaces?

In my experience the best progression is the following
1. Learn memory management and all standard programming features like functions, variables etc.
2. Move on to object orientated programming
3. $$$$
4. profit

with that in mind, start with C and get good at that shit, then later move on to C++,C#, Java or any other OOP language and be ready to have your mind fucked by OOP

>>669238817
the easiest is python and java. they are simple as fuck, but they get you into making mistakes, mistakes that don't matter in that specific language but do to others.

I learnt C++, it was a brainfuck at the start, but when I got used to it...it was easier, then I learned Java, and tbh i didn't really need to learn java.. i already knew java due to the fact it was OOP.. that shit was so easy it was stupid. I also was better than most of the Java devs in my company because I learned fundemental techniques from C++ whereas they had not had any background knowledge at all.

But it depends what you plan on doing with your language.

>>669239976
Java is currently the most popular lang

And you'd get laughed at for trying to push at any major security conscious development firm. Java was widely used and is becoming less so.

C++ is know the be one of the hardest langage.
If you wan to start with Java you should be able to do some cool stuff very quckily.
But for me it's better to tearn with C, it's not the easiest langage but he will give you a better understanding of how the computer work.

Start with javascript but you need to lear logic beforoe

I just started TeamTreehouse.com.

>start C

I love C, but why the fuck would you do this to someone? Are you going to stick them with K&R so they have to figure out the differences between K&R and ansi C before they can even determine that GCC is using c99?

>>669239837
Ruby is so comfy. So lovely to use, so fucking slow. Marijuana goes nice with Ruby.

>>669238817
C/C++ is the harder part, you have to deal with many things on your own that other langues do for you in the background.

Mostly people start today with Java, C# or more recently with Python. I never worked with Python and I heard it has some concepts you find nowhere else. Indentions instead of breakets.

I would suggest Java or C# - and you don't have to start with object oriention stuff, get the basics down (loops, conditions) and then go further and start at some point with objects and the concepts behind this (inheritance, diamond-problem and so on).

It will take you some weeks to work it all out.

Python is easier than the others but it is a shit
If I were you I would learn java, then C++ and then C

Thinking about doing starting with java because I want to make mobile apps. Also want to branch out though. Would that be a good language to start with? I've got a book but it didn't take me very fat. Can't find anything past the hello world stage.

>>669240241
No need for hostilities. Java has been going strong for decade or so. Its currently the top language. Op asked for dev job.

>>669238817
Start with the hardest one. Then it'll become really easy to learn the others.

What do people find hard about C++? It's the only language I know so I don't know what makes it harder than the others.

Can you find a job in coding without a degree if you self-study the languages?

>>669240477
Nobody likes Java. I'm just trying to point out it's just a shit start. It was the python 10 years ago. Everyone was learning QBasic or Pascal and then Java. Now we have Java being a popular language and everyone knowing it and using it for everything, even in places where it is poorly suited.

A lot of type and variant, reference, pointer, type conversion etc
It's hard to mastered.

>>669240745
memory management - there is none with C/C++

pointers can be tricky too. That's all I remember from my C/C++ experiences.

BTW, nobody seems to explained this: C is the older version with no objects. C++ is newer and the biggest difference: it allows to use objects.

Whoever told you that has never wrote or even went near to C++. Just look at a C++ vs Java code comparison. C++ is much more confusing.

Java became quicker over the years. Nowadays you can use it in productive systems.

>>669238817

True it's more confusing at first, but when you learn the syntax it should be as easy.

>>669241292

it's bytecode, needs a VM, layers on layers of interpretation to get simple stuff done. So much unefficient. Yeah I dev on python for android too, it's way much cooler and simpler, too bad jewgle killed it instead of bringing it to the next level.

>>669241351
> productive systems

at the price of performance. But what is the big gain with using java over other languages actually ?

>>669238817
The most important thing in the beginning is that you don't lose interest. So don't pick up a language that is overly hard and makes you lose that interest before you even get started.

>>669239433
>>669238817
Wouldn't start with C++. Start with Java, later on OP can worry about what the virtual machine is doing after getting to grips with basics of Object Oriented coding.


Regardless of whether you do choose Java or not, don't make the mistake of trying to learn multiple languages at a time, very difficult to do this outside of a structured learning environment (i.e. college). Pick one and commit to it. Once you learn your first then the others become easier.

>>669241553
No it shouldn't. Learning the syntax is 50% of using C++. Knowing what syntax and how to use it is the other 50%. For example, using pointers properly and passing by reference or value. These are all things you have to worry about in C++, but not in Java.

java has fared just fine for Android. in fact, most projects that do exactly what you said using Linux binaries are incredibly problematic - that's the Android NDK. that's where you get thousands of users posting "doesn't work on galaxy s??? device"

the gain would be it's free.
many companies want to save their money instead of buying expensive VisualStudio licences

and I think the performance is okay. When you are working at some project with fast output then it might be too slow.

I work with C# and PL/SQL (Oracle) since some years and the company I'm working for is in the logistics. We move boxes from point A to point B. Depending on the customer this has be to done quick or extremely quick. But we have 90% of the logic in the PL/SQL code, near the data, so we can be extremely quick.

For a normal desktop solution Java is just fine.

java is not inefficient. the jvm running your bytecode is more efficient than your by-hand c optimizations, as long as you made the right type choices.

the jvm is even able to adaptively reoptimize based on at-runtime behavior.

Yep, sounds pretty good, anon. Don't be afraid to branch out and try some other languages before you master one, though. You might find one that clicks with you and turns you into a programming demon. Once you've learned a few, learning a new one is super easy.

your understanding of VM vs interpreter must be wrong. I can think of projects that run better in the JVM than even pypy without JIT... pypy being fucking amazing, and a more bloated interpreter.

Duck typing makes it easier to have your code up and running faster, yeah. Have fun finding those bugs when most of your code seems to work fine. With static typing you won't even get out the gate until you fix that shit, but your code can still stink to high hell.

I suspect the unity team only added UnityScript because they didn't want microsoft to bully them if they were locked in to C#

Go is awesome but I wouldn't recommend it as a first language, almost all tutorials assume you're coming across from another language.

>>669238817
The easiest is python, but if you want to better understand how it works under the hood, go with C/C++

Hey, don't go calling me grandpa now. I'm only 48.

OP let me tell you this: Everyone in this thread who says "Program language 'x' is waaaay better than all the others." Isn't a reasonable programmer and is not worth listening to. (s)He is a judgemental fool who limits him/herself in several ways.

Choosing your (first) language of choice depends on several things.
1. What is it you want to build? Web applications? Desktop applications? Games? Scripts/mods? Some languages fit your needs better than others.
2. Who in your direct environment (family & close friends) code aswell? Who can you ask for help? Try choosing a language in which you can get some help from people nearby.
3. What kind of experience do you have? Some languages like C++ are so called low-level programming languages which are a little harder to get into if you don't have any prior experience or if you have a hard time figuring out abstract concepts.
4. What tooling do you need / can you afford? Try Visual Studio, C-Lion, Netbeans or PHP Storm.

What i'm trying to say is: There is a language out there for everyone. Explore as many as you can, try them all and find out what fits your needs!

I've been a software engineer for 3 years now. I've learned programming in the following order:

The absolute basics:
- HTML & CSS (It's not actual programming, rather markup language) But it's a good place to start
- PHP (Not object orientated, so you can learn the basics of actual programming)
- JAVA (Object orientated) I've learned JAVA to find out the basics of OO-programming and make desktop applications. It's a slow running language but it's a good place to start programming actual applications
- C# (My personal favorite) I've been programming C# to develop numerous applications which vary from simple tools to complete management systems
- ASP.NET (Web and C# combined. Object Orientated by nature. PHP can be done OO aswell, but i prefer C#)
- C++ (Currently studying C++). C++ Is a very low-level programming language which has very little help.
(1/2)

>>669246372
I think there are two paths - "get stuff done" and "senior engineer".

"get stuff done" is about early accomplishment and to keep people engaged. so python, ruby, javascript

"senior engineer" needs to know what a machine does and why so problems and optimizations that span the full stack from CSS to opcode can be spotted.

I bet we agree not to start anyone (even "senior engineer") with assembly... but a second-year C programmer could intuitively understand what the machine is doing at the assembly level. C resembles the underlying model well, while BASIC, COBOL, Pascal obviously do not.

Yeah this seems good, i did the same thing myself started with html, css and javascript for an easy transfer to other programming languages.

>>669247121

Also there are many websites which can help you to begin coding. Some of these websites depend on the language you've chosen

Here are a few which i've used in the past:
- http://codingbat.com/
- https://projecteuler.net/
- http://jsfiddle.net/
- http://www.w3schools.com/
- And many more!

>>669247284
i gave up programming because of that shit

This was actually a pretty informative thread guise

>>669247156
i would recommend basic as a start.. well it's just basic.
upgrading to C will get you into the machine close programming
going into java or stuff will be maybe more suited for todays programming environments

>>669238817

It doesn't matter how and where you start. It matters that you start in a place where you feel comfortable. If OP doesn't know anything about any kind of computer language, it might be a good idea for him to begin with a markup language rather than an actual programming language. Slow and steady wins the race.

Many universities, including mine, start with markup languages after which they climb into programming languages.

>>669246361
>job security = nobody can work with the code you made

Kek. This is one thing that always amuses me: it's never in a dev's interest to actually turn in good work. Or even finish the job at all.

You wouldn't believe the money my organisation has thrown away on contractors, who either couldn't code or had no intention of completing the project. And guess who has to untangle the spaghetti afterwards ...

>>669247675

Stop with Go !

>>669247699
Can agree with this. I started with HTML and it was easier when I moved on to 'real' programming languages

I work together with multiple women who are skilled programmers. I can confirm that there are plenty of female programmers.

Ive been learning for close to a year now, been learning python to the point where I can make whatever program I require, about a month ago I learnt the syntax of java in about 4 hours. Java is good because it leads into a lot of other programming languages (C, C#, C++, Js) that become useful in a career situation. In my opinion start with python as it is very easy to understand and move onto java once you FULLY understand all the main aspects of coding. Personally going on to university this year, and I'm looking forward to it :)

>>669248291
One of my teachers who had taught me Java, Database technology, Scrum and some other courses also was a really attractive woman. When me and some of the guys would hit the bar after a day of school some of the guys would share stories how they wanted to bang this teacher. She's a really nice and smart women. Yet because she is a woman in a mainly (autistic or prejudged) male world, she didn't get all the respect she deserves.

golang is pretty bad.

>>669246508
go is used for headless server applications. and rarely, because it's new. and hard to adopt.

>>669246664
it doesn't replace server code. and it's definitely not easy.

>>669246918
properly algorithms in python, java, maybe even php, won't be worse than golang

go will *increase* your workload by a lot. it will make sense if your go application will run countless times (>1bn/day) saving cloud costs. but then again, if you understand why it's fast in go, you can implement the algorithm in your current environment. remember, golang doesn't magically change your IO or throughput.

golang is only different because its default structures are for concurrency. these are the same structures that exist in other languages, but just aren't default. it helps to avoid architecture problems with medium-advanced cloud application developers.

the fad will pass.

learn python, then java or c#, and then move on to C++ and assembler.

python will allow you to quickly write programs while getting into minimal details, thus letting you fuck up and learn from your fuck ups faster
java and c# are a little more in depth and could actually land you a job, C# is nicer in my opinion on account of it being less horrendously verbose but pretty much restricts you to windows dev. the major advantages of java and c# is they gently introduce you to the basics of memory management, pointers, static variables, etc. c# also has some nice shit built into it like linq.

c++ is the long term goal, when youre confident in your ability to write and maintain large c#/java programs using the best practices of the language in question start learning this. MS C++ is a good way to start if you dont feel like learning a ton of shit at the same time (makefiles, headers, more advanced memory management, vim or emacs, etc). its gonna take you a while to get here, but once youre here and youve gotten confident enough to actually contribute a fair bit to the development of larger c++ projects on github and the like you stand a good chance of landing a job with this.

you need to know assembler because to be a good c++ programmer you need to be able to pull your programs appart at the asm level and see what exactly is going on. for this youll need to read intels x86 manual as you go along, just dont be a retard and actually try writing more than small bits of code in asm, theres a reason c is called portable assembler.

I used to hit huge road blocks while programming on Windows. Once I switched to Linux code kept pouring out of me. I guess it has to do with technical environment, where you have to tweak the OS which gets you in the mood. Like you would learn in a library, for example, instead of a construction site

>>669254438

As a web developer I find linux (Ubuntu) to be a very productive environment, if I'm doing iPhone stuff I need to use a mac which is very similar. I only really use windows to play games, but if I was developing for windows or xbox I'd use windows. My suggestion would be to install ubuntu on a spare computer/laptop and see how you like it. It takes a while to learn the new system and get used to doing a lot of things on the command line but once you do you'll find it's much more pleasant than clicking on everything all the time.
