Which is the best programming language to get start?

15 years ago

For web development I'm gona say PHP and CSS. It is really easy to learn and there are is a huge amount of example code all over the internet. ASP.NET does not seem to have as many examples.

I would also recommend looking into using Drupal because it has a huge community and it allows you to build sites without touching any PHP code. Most of the time the theme is the only thing you need to create or alter because there are so many modules available which you can use.

PHP is a pretty loose language though. Some people seem to think it is better to learn a statically typed language such as Java first, or even a relatively low-level language such as C, since it will give you a better idea of how the machine itself operates.

I personally think it doesn't really matter, however. The most important thing is that you get SOME sort of experience, and get to understand basic principals, which are shared by all programming languages.

But I have no idea whether any of them will be useful.

HTML, HTML5, XML etc... are markup languages.
They are only for layout.

CSS is for defining how your markup will be presented.

If you want to program an actual application that does something, processed data, it will require a actual programming language to do it. Whether it be PHP, Java, ASP, Perl, what ever you fancy.

Also, here is the book that I learned from. GREAT resource! Javanotes 5.1.2 -- Title Page

I have to agree, I started with java and quickly moved to javascript and then to C#. You will learn that once you have learned any language at all it is easy to learn the rest each language has its ways of doing things and taken classes by the language BUT, once you have mastered one language picking up the rest is easy.

You are not likely to get a single definite answer here. We all have our favourite programming languages, that means the response will reflect that.

I would however, suggest you check out Python - great language, huge community and much easier to learn.

I'm at a loss with this C first then PHP if you learn one you have learned the other. I did my learning with C back in the beginning. Used a little product known as TurboC by a nonexistant little company known as Borland. I started using PHP just so I could make my container seperate from the page itself. That way I could change the look and feel of the website without having to edit 20 different pages. Then I decided to start looking at some of those PHP scripts and realized PHP is C. That made my programming really take off.

If you are coding websites learn the C/PHP. It is going to serve you better than any of the other for computers and the net.

I would say it always depends on what you want to develop and which platform you want to use.

Web:
Linux/Apache environment: PHP, Perl or Python (PHP my favourite)
Windows/IIS: ASP.net (Visual Studio Express gets you started quick and easy)

Desktop:
Windows: C# (Again Visual Studio Express gets you started quick and easy)
Mac: Objective C (Cocoa)
Linux: C or C++

I am not too sure if there is still a cross plattform compiler for Delphi (Prism ?) which would you allow to use Delphi on Windows and Linux.

C# can be developed on Linux as well using Mono instead of Visual Studio.

As I said, there are a lot of languages you can start with, but it always depends on what you want to accomplish and with which technology.

I personally started with PHP and Delphi, but that was a long time ago.

Nowadays I prefer using:
PHP5 -> Websites and Server Backends
C# -> Windows Desktop Applications and Silverlight using C# as a flash replacement

  Yes, exactly.
  
  Web? Probably PHP. Ruby is the up-and-comer. Do yourself a favoir and learn one of the major frameworks (CakePHP, CodeIgniter, etc.) and MVC.
  
  Desktop? C# (for Windows)
  
  Server? Well, big stuff, Java.
  
  Do-anything language? Python.
  
  If you just want to learn for the value of learning and to get familiar with the basics of programming, I would go with Python. Ruby is a second choice.
  
  I would not venture into either C or C++. C has evolved into a specialist language for embedded programs and systems work. C++ is too unwieldly for the beginner - you'll spend most of your time learning C++ quirks. If you want to get into desktop game programming, though, that's the way to go.
  
  The best books on the market for learning programming are the Head First books by O'Reilly.

Please note, I am a software developer.

I see this question often and give different replies in different situations. For this I will consider scripting languages as a "programming language", though often they are not.

If your objective is to get in to web development, PHP is an excellent language to learn first. It is a more structured language that is used quite frequently in development.

Please understand that HTML/CSS are not programming languages. I saw someone mention CSS above and a bit of horror stirred up inside me. HTML, as the name expresses, is a markup language. This is much different. There is no use of logical flow allowed within HTML by itself.

Javascript is a terrible first language. I understand that a lot of people wish to learn this first because it's used quite a bit on the web. Unfortunately Javascript has a way of teaching very poor "coding practice". It is like saying you will not learn proper manners. If you transition from Javascript to any other language, it will likely be difficult as Javascript is very relaxed about some "rules" of programming as well as syntax.

If you're going to look in to being an actual software developer, I suggest either C++ or Java as they will give you an introduction to both software development and object oriented workings. Learning to work with objects is quite powerful but requires a bit more effort than working with scripting languages such as JS/PHP.

depends on WHY you want to learn it?

As you're posting it to WF I'm guessing you might be wanting it for online projects.

So pick PHP (the most popular) or Ruby on Rails (in my opinion a vastly better and easier to learn language).

also what wayfarer and Joseph Wilcox said is so true, HTML and CSS is not a programming language!

(however that doesn't mean they're not important to learn if you wish to create websites, indeed they are very very useful to know! Just like English is very useful to know even though it isn't a programming language either)

If you are making a website, PHP is indeed a great option to start with, integrating it with CSS or the new upcoming HTML5, surely your website would look professional, with the proper coding and event handling. Their are plenty of tutorials on the net on how to do PHP, but shall i say as what my instructor had planted on each and everyone's head on our college life, "Programming without practice is just a word", better practice or perhaps if your as brilliant as Mark Zuckerberg, then you have a better chance of defying that certain old adage.

I'd recommend you start learning Java as a programming language, and HTML/CSS for making websites. Why? Because you can use Google AppEngine to host your apps! Nobody's mentioned Google AppEngine until now, which is a little surprising. One of my websites is built on top of that, and that's 100% free hosting on Google servers. The downside is that you can't use Wordpress, but there are other good CMS engines that you can use.

So all you need to do is learn Java, JSP and basic HTML/CSS.

If you're serious about learning programming languages, I'd suggest learning an object oriented programming like Java first. Once you've learned that, it'll be super easy to learn other languages. In fact, there won't be much "learning" involved than there is of just remembering the syntax.

HTML and CSS are NOT programming languages

programming is programming - you learn program flow control, execute required steps, get the job done - the language used is just semantics

if you want to learn programming, just for the sake of programming, then it's like asking what is the best "beer" to drink. depending on your personality and learning style, pick one, anyone will do...

if you have a purpose and end project in mind - then go with what the platform has lots of support for (with examples) and is readily available.

for example, if you want to program web sites, start with learning how websites are formed - HTML & CSS directives that tell the browser how to display a site. then move into C, php that allow you to create web sites dynamically by manipulating those HTML directives programatically.

my vote is html5 and css.
initially html5 is not hard, and css can be tricky but the basics are easy.

the real beauty of html5 is all the new stuff, which is complicated, but it is the future of the internet.
i would guess that within a year, you will be able to achieve 95% of what a standalone program can do.

I would say that you should start with C/C++ and then go into PHP. If you are just ready to jump the gun at web programming, then go straight into PHP.

Here are some good resources on learning PHP:

Go to php.net - There is a Search Box on the upper right hand corner of the page where you can find information on different PHP functions. This is VERY USEFUL to keep as a resource for function calls and also because most of the time, there are examples on how to use the code in question.

Also w3schools.com/php/ - Really great resource on learning about PHP. There is a navigation menu on the left hand side of the screen broken down into PHP Basic, PHP Advanced, PHP Database, etc. You can start with the Basic and work your way up from there.

Also, if you are looking into doing more stuff with PHP, I highly suggest learning about MySQL and PostgreSQL.

Learn these languages and you should have a fairly well rounded knowledge of programming:

C++
VB.NET (very similar to C# but I'd say learn vb so you get used to different syntaxes. C# and C++ syntax is almost identical)
PHP
HTML
SQL (I use MSSQL but if you want to use MySQL or something else feel free)
Javascript

At that point you have covered most of the major areas. There are a few more but the rest are debatable as to whether you'll gain much from learning them other than knowing their syntax. I'd say that list encompasses most of the different programming schools of thought.

Also if you're into scripting I'd suggest you learn Python (it's actually a programming language but used most often for scripting at the present time)

  It depends on what you want to do? Do you really want to LEARN programming or do you want to add names and acronyms to your resume for employment creds - Both goals are mutually exclusive!
  
  C is an amazing language but probably the WORST first language ever, and still people harp on it (You must learn to program in C or closer to the machine AFTER learning programming).
  
  For learning, the best languages are higher level, dynamically scoped languages with lambda calculus capabilities and higher order functions. Low level languages will NOT even allow you to think in those terms.
  
  The best first language in my opinion if would be a version of Scheme or Lisp - I think Common Lisp is probably one of the best.
  
  Python and Ruby are simpler on the eyes but they will never let you think at the speed a purely functional language which will and make you a better programmer even in lower level languages like C
  
  There are others that are good contenders as well, but try and stay away from platforms like the JVM (ruling out Scala, Clojure) and .Net (ruling out a whole bunch including C#, F#).
  
  You should also expose yourself to OOP languages and you just can't compare anything with Smalltalk. For OOP learn Smalltalk first and you WILL automatically be a much better programmer in Java, C# etc.
  
  These are my recommendations and are based on very solid foundations. Even today the creme of the crop is taught Scheme first, especially to learn programming and them moved on to syntax based languages.
  
  When I attended a grad level course in Artificial Intelligence at a univ in the US, the prof chose scheme for 1 reason - You can learn the language basics in less than an hour - Then you start programming (And that was the bloody hardest programming I've ever done - problem solvers and stuff ... We would've died if it was to be done in C.
  
  Peter Norvig, the director of search quality of Google and author of PAIP moved his stuff to Python from Common Lisp and Google uses a lot of Python, but I honestly don't think it's as powerful (Even though it's getting there).
  
  These are the best resources to LEARNING to program
  
  MIT Lectures (Attend free online)
  Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, Video Lectures
  
  The lectures are based on this book
  Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs
  
  Another fantastic resource
  How to Design Programs
  
  Want to learn OOP.
  Squeak Smalltalk
  
  These are absolute gems for someone who wants to really master programming. After going through and understanding these concepts, learning any new language will be a piece of cake.
  
  Hope this helps,
  
  Sanjay

I totally agree with this. Anyway, one should always start by familiarizing themselves with the logic and coding styles. After that, it doesn't matter what language you are faced with. It will all be easy to pick up and master. I personally recommend that you start with Java as it is strict and therefore will build your core foundation well.

There is no "best" - languages are just tools. The programmer is what makes a language good or not good, depending on how he puts it to use.

That being said, any server-side scripting language is essential. That could be PHP, Perl, Python, or Ruby. Beyond that, you simply won't find a whole lot of people programming for affiliate marketing. Those are the major languages. That's important because if you wish to purchase scripts or share code, you want to have a lot to choose from. (Actually, PHP is most prevalent in this respect.)

Also, become familiar with SQL. Most hosting is going to be MySQL so if you know it, you can use it.

Well, I suppose it mostly depends on what you want to do with it. For the web I would suggest learning things in this order: HTML, CSS, javascript, php, MySQL. Using libraries like CakePHP, JQuery, etc will speed up your workflow, but you will have a better understanding of programming if you hard code from scratch. If you are approaching this specifically to get results on a project, use the libraries and then go back after you have things up and running to learn the ins and outs.
This is basically what each of the web languages you will most likely use do:
HTML - Displays the webpage, basically the skeleton.
CSS - Makes the page look stylish and appealing.
Javascript - Makes the viewers browser do things using their computers processing power. Good for dynamic content, but not very secure. Use it for AJAX functions and bells and whistles.
PHP - Runs on the server, does dynamic things behind the scenes. This is the default for moving dynamic data and content and is much more secure than javascript. Since it does not run on the users computer, it cannot do anything to the page once the page is loaded, you have to use javascript for that.
MySQL - This is the means of searching and updating records. Think of your database like a giant filing cabinet and MySQL is the means of finding, adding, altering, or deleting that data.
Actionscript - This is the programming language used in conjunction with Flash. You can use either AS2, or AS3. AS2 has more documentation, but AS3 is much more similar to javascript and can be easier to learn (and also more powerful) if you already have some experience there.
ASP - This is a microsoft implementation that serves a similar function to PHP. I really haven't done much with it so I can't really give you too much info.
Jscript - A microsoft implementation of javascript. Very similar aside from a few minor syntax differences as far as I have experienced.

Application programming can be done with Java, Ruby, C++, C#, C, Python, etc. Depending on the environment your server runs on. VB is very effective in a microsoft environment, and VBA is a stripped down version included in Microsoft Office to allow you to add functionality to the existing business software.

Resources for learning:
www . w3schools . com - learn most web languages here in easy steps.
www . khanacademy . org - nice set of easy to follow video tutorials on Python if you choose to go that route.

www . stackoverflow . com - useful community for getting quick and concise answers to practical programming dilemmas.
www . kirupa . com - same as previous

I would advise shying away from flash for the time being and focusing more on other languages that don't require a third party plugin. Flash will likely phase out in the not to distant future as successive improvements to html include more and more of the dynamic functions traditionally covered by flash. Also you will be alienating iOS users if you focus on flash, and there is really no reason to give up any potential market share if that can be avoided. Hope this helps you.

I had to add spaces to my links because I don't have enough posts yet :/
Just remove the spaces I guess.

1st decide which path to follow, Web or App Dev???
You can get started with Web development (HTML5 and CSS3), then moving to database (SQL) and scripting languages (PHP, AJAX).
OR start with App development (C# or Java), then moving to web development as above...

Thanks

Depends, on a lot of factors. I was working as a security researcher/ethical hacker. So my first language was Python. Worked for me. On the other hand, I would have failed miserably if web designing was my field and I learned Pythin instead.

This depends on the requirement of yours. Every language has its own set of advantages and expertise on certain fields. So nothing is bad.

PHP is a pretty loose language though. Some people seem to think it is better to learn a statically typed language such as Java first, or even a relatively low-level language such as C, since it will give you a better idea of how the machine itself operates.

'C' is always the best programming language to start with, it is robust, reliable, easy, structured, powerful, a must learn language for every CS student
