Hello /adv/, I have an ambition to study Computer Programming.

just learn python don't waste time fucking around with other shit.

learn C in parallel and take your time.
python is great but basically teaches you nothing about computers and you will code like an idiot knowing only python.

know c and your code will be fast, because c has no fast built into it. you have to make the fast yourself.

or learn ASM if cryptic verbiage doesn't scare you. its not hard. just long winded and slow to program. valuable in what it teaches you though and you will have to learn ASM eventually in a CS major that isn't trash.

Learn Python and C++ in parallel. If C++ is too much, Java or C# would be good. Python is quick to pick up, but you should learn something with C style syntax alongside it.

LabVIEW.

C++ is just as easy as python with longer keywords. your not learning any more coding paradigms.
C++ is just as high level as python only it exposes some of the nuts and bolts of C, but not many. all of the low level shit in C++ is optional. you wouldn't even know to use it if you didn't know a less abstracted language.

if you are recommending learning C++ for it's syntax save your time, the syntax is simple as shit.

C then C++

In my course we start out by learning Assembly and Python in parallel. Note that you'll probably never use Assembly in practice, but it's very useful for understanding how a computer works, and understanding the underlying mechanisms is what makes a really good programmer.

I can agree with learning python.
Its very simple and it will help to get you into the mindset of programming and turning wishes into code.
You want to be able to understand how to change an idea such as "I want to calculate how many times this side of the moon faces me per year" or "I want to make a skiing game" into programming and math equations.

Too many people start off with hard programming languages when they aren't able to understand why we use concepts like loops and lists.

Python is a good starting language.

A better use of your time right now would probably be solving Project Euler problems, checking out some data structures and different algorithms, and reading up on CS and software engineering in general. Check out Quora, /r/programming, /r/cscareerquestions, etc. Stay away from /g/.
