Hello,
if you need to program for the web, I suggest php.
You also should know markup languages as html and stylesheet css.
With php you can print out an html like:
echo '<p>hello world</p>';

Then you should learn the mysql language and how to deal with it using php.
And last but not least there's javascript with jquery framework.

This is my opinion, of course.
Max.

For web applications you need HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT, PHP and MYSQL mainly. Going advanced, old stuff you'd learn ColdFusion and PERL, even ASP if you like windoze, and for new coming up stuff you'd want to learn RUBY language that runs on the Rails Framework, often called Ruby on Rails.

You can learn any programming languages if you can think "what will be logic/steps for any automation task/program?".

Good Luck.

I would like to suggest you to learn C language if you are beginner in programming.

learning programming language will not only make a quality programmer. Gain the experience of thinking logic for a concept in easy way.

C or C++ is the basic programming language which you can learn if you want to understand the concepts of programming. You can also learn new programming language with Visual Basic too if you want. There are many programming languages like these which are easy to learn. Practice is the key to learn them.

salute to those who are so expert in languages...whre can I learn this all program?
tx

C, C++, HTML, Javascript, CSS, Java, PHP, Mysql, .Net, Ruby on Rails, Objective C, iPhone Programming. There are lot of others but I think this should be enough.

As a beginner I suggest practice C and HTML its easy and it's the basic language in programming! After you learn those language try C++,Php,CSS,Java,Javasript good luck to you ^^

to start something, first decide what you know or where you will go. let us know that. then we can help you to decide.

C++ is Simple Computer Language. My favorite Computer language is C++.
I like this Post its all About Languages.

I'm pretty good at and find useful:

For the net: HTML, CSS, bit of JS, PHP and MySQL

For programming: Java, C, bit of ASM, bit of Oracle

Not all useful, just what i've used, the web ones are quite prevalent for me

Why get overwhelmed with all of the choices and directions. You'll end up in paralysis of analysis mode.

First break down the area of programming that you want to learn. There are several as you have seen that has been mentioned. Then I would break down the language that would allow me the most success in the shortest amount of time.

For instance, if I wanted to learn web programming (specifically front-end). I would learn HTML first, then Javascript, then CSS. If I wanted to learn web programming back end, I would learn ColdFusion first, then some basic database (general) commands, and then other languages after that.

There are several languages that offer a personal learning license, to allow you to pick up the trial or a single user license to try it out. For instance ColdFusion offers a developer license that allows access from one IP address, while Microsoft releases what they call Express editions of their languages that is basically the same thing.

So a few things that you need to do. First determine which area of programming you want to get into (why do you want to program in the first place?) Is it the money? - skip that because no matter what route you choose, you can make money, just pick one, but for different reasons. You want to write video games? What kind of video games? I've seen video games written in several versions of languages (ColdFusion, Flash, JavaScript, Java, C++, etc.), better to choose a reason than that. Who would be using this application that you're building? You? Then you probably don't need to worry about designing Graphical User Interfaces then? Are you building it for millions of people? Then you can team up with a designer to help you lay out stuff.

Whatever the reason, you need to think about what you're trying to accomplish by learning such skill. And that will lead you down the path of your goal.

Myself? I learned programming in high school/college. I started learning Basic, then in school I learned C++/Java and dabbled a bit with ColdFusion. My First Job was using ColdFusion, and that lead me down the path of Web Developer. I pick up additional skilled along my career, so I am more familiar with additional languages, but also new techniques and overall improvements that you don't learn when you're in school. - You will never stop learning something new in this field. There is always a new language, a new framework, a new way to do something that was already done before. Maybe you will build something that will make everyone take notice.

Sorry for the long post, I'm just waking up

PHP rules as far.. as easy to learn, easy to use, most open source apps are written on it.

Some people will say Ruby, RonRails, or ASP... but still.. php rules.

PHP is best
