It is always the neat little simple tricks that impress friends which make programming all worth while.
You can do Visual Basic. It will teach absolute attrocious programming skills, but you can do some neat things, really easily. If you have a PocketPC (even if you dont there is an emulator) you can use eVB like I am doing now to doodle with VB. It is free, unlike the full Visual Basic suite which is bloody expensive. It is not all that hard, but it might be diving in a bit too deep than you want, though. If you take programming seriously, well then that is a horse of a different color. |

Alternatively, you could start off with HTML, one of the simplest programming languages there is, and you can get relevant results.

Just to note, HTML isn't a programming or scripting language, it's a markup language. If you want to learn real programming (data structures, loops, functions, etc.) start out with Java or even Python.

I'm not doubting that, but that's where you should start really, because it's simple and it gets your mind into the mindset for remember names and objects.
Isn't Java glorified C? |

I wouldn't call it glorified, but it is a more beginner-friendly improvement on C++.

I am with DrZaius. Java is easy to start with. So is Visual Basic. Even C++ isn't that hard. Learning HTML is much closer to learning how to format a document in Word than it is to programming. It definitely has its place, but it is not programming.
BTW, Java isn't quite glorified C. It is a completely object-oriented language that is very similar to C++. |

You could do DOS batch files. I have done many simple mundane chores quickly via batch files, like mass renaming of files, mass copying, creating simple "installer" programs, etc.
It is easy for novices, yet has depth for those who wish to delve deeper. |

Congratulations! Back in the days when I used Windows 3.1, I did a lot of batch file programming, mainly to create keyboard shortcuts for common commands.

To revive a dead thread: a cool thing that sparked my attention for a few weeks last year was that "SmarterChild" ai for aim.
There is an ide out there for people to experiment with called "buddyscript". It allows you to create an aim artificial intelligence (since no one else on aim has intelligence). It has some really cool, yet easy to understand pattern matching programming behind it. It has a "minute to learn, a lifetime to master" feel to it that is hard to find in many higher level languagees, plus you can really impress you r friends with the results of an aim bot they can talk to. |
