Hi Dim3x,
I would recommend starting with C++ or Java, they're both very similar only Java is a bit easier to code and safer for beginners. There are free compilers available for each, I recommend Dev-C++ for C++ and the Java SDK with a good text editor like TextPad for Java. Hope that helps.

I agree, start with Java, then move to C/C++, exactly like what I did.
As for Java tutorials, check out the official one: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/ |

well I think you need to think about what you want to do.
Wanna take maximum control over the machine without learning ASM? Do C. Wanna make something huge yet organized with a lot of the power of C, but you still want speed and security? Do C++. Wanna get the best idea of object oriented programming but are willing to sacrifice speed and control? Do JAVA So, what are your intentions? If you just want to learn... well thats a personal issue and it is to your great benefit to learn as much as possible in any order. Look at some sample code to see what you like and move on from there. |

C++ is a superset of C, meaning that virtually anything you can do in C, you can do in C++.
For the new programmer I personally suggest learning C first. It's much more intuitive in my opinion. C program-style mentality (on a basic level) is "do do do," while in C++ it's "manipulate object." ... When you are starting out one of the first things you learn in any language is what you need to "do." This is why I recommend C. For most applications in the "real world," C++ or Java are the languages of choice, because as others mentioned you can do a whole lot more and you have much better security. |

What version of Dev-C++ do you recomend? The 4 or the 5 which is a beta version?
