Programming languages

>>60873197
depends on what u want to focus on, but personally python is a great starter.

>>60873197
Wrwfi

>>60873197
Lisp.

>>60873197
I think you should start with asm and simple c for 8086 once you get the low level everything else is piece of cake

Coldfusion, people will deny it but COLD motherfucking FUSION

>>60873527
where would one learn it

>>60873197
Jesus, this wallpaper is cringeworthy. Also python should be ok to start with.

Don't listen to these idiots.

Learn FORTRAN.

>>60873552
google for microcontroller programing there many open-source projects out there try to do what ever you like.

i started with asm from the 9th grade at school so can't really point you to a starting position

Python if you just want to get started quickly and make your own hobby projects

otherwise if you wanna learn more about computer science go with what >>60873527 or >>60873602 said

What is lisp even used for?

>>60873728
AI i think.

There are three I hear about the most; C, Python, and Java, are these any good? and what are these used for?

>>60873197
> which programming language should I learn first?
The one whose frameworks you would like to use to program whatever software you need to program.

> Is there any list that might show me the pro's and con's of each different programming language?
Many, and they're just about all bullshit.

Basically forget that approach.

I'm thinking of purchasing this book from my local thrift shop, is it a good book to learn C?

>>60873764
> what are these used for?
All of them are used for "everything" by someone, but C is pretty strong on OS kernels and microcontroller programming, Python is very often used as glue between other languages or for scripting sysadmin / IT tasks, and Java is the main language of Android apps and many web server stacks.

But again, all of them are used for a lot more than just that.

>>60873822
By the way, just to give a glimpse how very diversely these are used, these are some people's lists of favourite programming frameworks and tools:
https://notabug.org/koz.ross/awesome-c
https://github.com/vinta/awesome-python
https://github.com/akullpp/awesome-java

Basically, "all of these and more" are how these languages are used, eh.

>>60873852
Then C it is, are there any book recommendation?

>>60873912
Search amazon, you'll immediately find rated beginner's books.

>>60873803
the only book to learn C from is the C Programming Language

C#

>>60873197
Just go through Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs and become a wizard. The book is freely available online as a pdf.

Matlab is easy to understand you can learn logical operations and variable types really fast on matlab

/g/ approved and recommended in every single programming thread

>>60873197
C -> Java -> Python

>>60873197
if I were to give you pros and cons of a language, you don't have the knowledge to understand what each point is.

just learn C

>>60875041
I am. Thanks for the recommendation.
