Need Help Please Xd

AII!! wassup guyz? anywayz.. am new here and new to all programming stuff,i've read other threads about that but am stilll confused..... dunno where to start or what to start.could u guyz give me some hints or something?maybe a link to some tut ?or atleast tell me where to start XD am wanna study programming atm for fun,but looking forward to start a career.

Welcome to the forum.

That really depends on what programming language you want to start off with first and what you intend to do with this language. C++ and Java are probably the more popular ones. I just did a quick search on Google for some sites that may help:

http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/

I'm sure you will get the hang of other languages once you understand on of them. Code will be different but the logic behind them should be very similar, especially for Java and C++.

I personally started learning programming with C, then worked my way up... and down, too, actually.

But I repeatedly hear that it's best to start with a language such as Visual BASIC, where you can learn most of the essential programming concepts while not having to deal with the more complicated tasks. And although Visual BASIC is rather limiting in many aspects, it's widely in use and doesn't take too long to learn.

But whatever you do, you'll probably grow into using C++ or Java pretty soon, once you learn the basics and feel the need for a freer approach to programming.

Good luck.

Different people have their own ways of learning a language. Just like you NeoTeemZ, I also learned the C language first Then I went to other languages like Assembly and Visual Basic before I went into Java.

I find Visual Basic very easy to use, but it might be due to my prior programming experience with C. It might be better to start off with the C language first in that case. But I did have to make some adjustments when I started to study C. Was confused with the whole constructors and destructors

There are 2 kinds of programming languages, object oriented and not-object oriented (<- can't remember the exact name ). Once you've learned a programming language (and you know how to program), it isn't to hard to learn another one if it's the same kind of language (eg. if you learn C++, which is an object oriented language, you won't have too much trouble learning C# or some other OO languages).
If I were you, I'd start with C++, but the choice is up to you .

ps. please don't start with Visual Basic. It might be an easy language to learn, but it realy sucks when it comes to the rules of programming, it'll only teach you bad habbits.

//edit: just to make things a bit more confusing, there's another kind of programming language, usualy called scritping languages. The difference is that you don't have to compile (making an executable file) these codes before you can use it.
