I would like to learn a programming language

>>49543
If you have never programmed before, start with Python and then continue with C++ / C# / Java. And don't listen to /g/.

Python's a great starting point.

>>49549
Also, you can decide based on what you want to do.

Android apps -> Java
iOS apps -> C#
Desktop apps -> C++ / Java
Math/Physics related apps -> Haskell (don't start with this one)
Quick, general language for smaller projects -> Python

Access to other computers? You mean hacking?
That's kinda complicated, because there are so many ways to do it. The good ways require a lot of specialized knowledge, though. The "script kiddie" ways, not so much, but they are kinda lame.

To hack like a professional, you need to know C, C++ and assembly, but you also need to understand file systems, and the formats of executables and dynamic libraries. On top of that, you must be able to study libraries and authentication systems in order to understand their vulnerabilities.
If you are content with being a script kiddie, learn Javascript, JScript, VBScript, Visual Basic, Powershell and cmd.exe, A.K.A. "batch scripting". And become familiar with the component object model and the .NET framework.

What you need to learn, my son, is Computer Architecture.

thanks a lot

>Turing tests

Yeah, you need a theory to hack. You're a fucking clown, just shut the fuck up, kid.

I do realize that every Turing complete language is technically equivalent, but C and C++ are the most effective at interfacing with modern computer systems.
Plus, those are what real hackers and crackers generally use, so they must be on to something.
Finally, I never claimed that hacking doesn't require knowledge about computer architectures, data structures and other computer science concepts; I never claimed to be a hacker myself. I was merely describing some of the things that hackers have been known to do and use. Pointing in a general direction, so to speak.
