Hello Everyone

 Well, I'm just here because... well, I am thinking about pursuing a programming language. I'm still deciding between PHP, Python, and Visual Basic. Anyway, give it up for your newest memeber. |

Bonjour et accueillir
Python is said to be a good choice, I wouldn't reccomend Visual Basic, it tends to teach a lot of bad habits...IMHO I suggest C

I disagree with Benoit, I think you should go for a language that will teach you good programming habits. This could be C#, Java, Python or Ruby. I heard that in Python even spacing has to be done the right way, so that would teach you some right indenting etc, it's also an easy but powerful language.

hi there
nnxion I think Benoit meant that VB teaches bad habbits, did you mis-understand him thinking he meant Python? I wouldn't reccommend VB either, Java, Python or PHP I think would be a good start. |

I see, spelling was nevery my strong point, hence using computers, (normally) they check spelling for you, and when programming words are usually easier to spell.. for, while, if, etc :p also IDEs help.
Yeah C I don't think would be a good first language, you should get to know another language, say Java (or maybe Pascal) then try C after as I have done (Pascal and Java then C) |
