Hi im new here to the forums i mainly came here because you guys were the first search result on google.
Secondly this forums looks very organized and detailed.
Thirdly im coming here to seek knowledge of what programming language would fit me?
I currently have built 3 computers by my self i own my own website i have really good knowledge of visual basic taking classes for it im really orientated in fixing computers and such... i really was looking towards learning c++ but people keep saying c# or java what do u think would fit my college needs. and Future working needs.

Razr

anyone ?

Hi Razr, welcome. I think everyone is asleep!
Program in any language you want, you have to remember that you have to carry what you have learnt in one language to another language.
C++ is good (not my favourite though - but I've used it the most). Java is a bit hard for Noobs I've discovered, program in other languages like VB or Python before touching it. But really, you can start with any langauge you want.
You will get alot of advice with this question. I've found that some people want you to learn Python first, some say Ruby, some say Visual Basic. From observance, it doesn't matter were you start, it's what you learn about programming.
I personally started with the BASIC programming language, then moved onto Java and C++.

C# gets my vote. Just google 'C# tutorials' and you'll find plenty of resources. I'd be more specific, but I really don't know what your aims are.

im not good in programming and im starting to program in c#, i noticed that i can easily grasp any language as long as you have the concept in my mind. In my case i started to program in c++ and i can say that it is difficult to learn, but I gained the concept of object oriented programmin in learning c++, in my opinion when you learn c++ you can easily understand and migrate to any languages(that's my idea though)... anyway its your choice, i think the difficult part in leaning the language and taking the full potential of it, is in the mastery part, usually when you learn the basics, chances are you'll be using it but mastering a language is difficult to do, you have to use it, and do some projects, so that the language will just be second nature to you
