Re: What is the best language to start with?

What these guys have said is very true, Simpler languages are good starting points. Due to the fact that hey allow you to understand programming concepts without getting confused by the laguage itself.

When i first started i began with C++, but this ment attempting to learn Programming Concepts at the same time as the syntax etc. I soon swapped to Python where i began to improve my Programming methods etc without having to worry to much about syntax etc since it is all relatively simple. As i look back on C++ now it is much simpler as i find myself being able to port alot of knowledge from Python across into C++ and just change syntax, as it is all based around simple techniques. Thus i am only learning one thing at once.
