 Good starter language?
Hey guys,
I'm wanting to finally get into coding, but i have a problem. I have no idea what a good language to start is? a good and easy one to slowly introduce me to the coding world. (also would be nice if there's a good guide you guys could post)
Thanks.

Well, what i did was start out using a scripting language. So the compiling didnt overwhelm me. Definitely, one of the visual studio languages, or a scripting language -> perl, or web programming like php.

try html :D
HTML is easy and is nothing like a programming language :P it has only like 30 defined nodes discluding css. If hes going the web based way he should use php :P I learned html in 5 minutes, the hardest part was figuring out how to make it compatible and learning the do's and dont's
WITHcss.Startingwith html would not beneifit him.
Pickupstixx, if you need help with anything, hit me up on msn.
HTML:
<html>
<head>
<title>This is a title</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
This is text
<form id="pie">
<input type="button" value="press me" />
</form>
</html>
CSS:
#pie
{
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background-image: url("images/pie.png");
}
PHP:
function ReturnParam($param)
{
echo $param;
return $param;
}

It is an easy way, but its a completely different enviroment then programming. With web design your stuck within the browsers functionallity. While with software programming, you have a huge enviroment.

Roblox.Lua when i was 10. Its a scripting language for that game roblox. It got me into programming, but if your going to do a scripting language, perl is the way to go.
All you have to do is create a pl file then edit it.
Download : http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/downloads
Learn : http://learn.perl.org/first_steps/
ActiveState is my favorite perl binary, so i recomend it.
This was my first perl script.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
sub Log {
my $logmessage = shift; #Shift is the variable
open my $logfile, ">>","Log.txt" or die "Failed to open file log";
}
sub Multi {
Log($_[0]);
Log($_[1]);
}
Log("Logging to log file");
Multi("Hi","bye","cya");

Re: Good starter language?
Well, You can't really do much with PHP unless you know HTML to output the text correctly in the browser. I suggest learning some basic HTML not all of it
just enough to know how to place pictures and text into the browser. After that you should check out PHP as it is similar to C/C++
There are so many tutorials out there for it :D w3schools for one is good.

Fuck CSS. You can put a simple line of CSS into a page, and it will be outputted different by every browser. What a load of bullshit. Once all the browsers use one standard for CSS, I'll use it. PHP is a pretty easy one to start off with, and yeah, you might need to know a little bit of HTML for
PHP. That would be the easy way to start off, or you could start off with C++ & Allegro. Maybe even C# so you can understand some concepts like vectors/lists/arrays, timers, threads, etc.

That's why you develop multi-browser web pages :P
