Easy Program Language to Learn

[circuit234]

I first learned how to program by programming in BASIC. If you want to learn something more practical, then you can try to learn Python or Ruby. Both have interactive shells which makes them easier for the beginner to learn. Rather than typing in a whole block of code, compiling it, and then getting a ton of syntax errors, you can type in your program line by line to see what happens.

I would say FreeBasic.

Basic was designed to be easy to learn. It has grown over the years to be
very powerful.

It have great graphics capabilities.

FreeBasic is a free basic compiler. It does not have a IDE debugger thro.

You might want to use qbasic to get the bugs out and then port it over to
FreeBasic.

I consider any kind of Basic a loss, because they encourage bad programming habits that are hard to drop. Java being easy is just a bad joke, it has more complicated syntax than C does, with no benefit in speed, or compile time.
The best languages to start with are those which are both easy to learn and encourage good habits. Therefore Python is basically the winner, and shell programming, Perl, and C++ are not bad either.

Dude why do you keep saying that any syntax of BASIC is powerful. Just stop.

Basic is very powerful.

You can do everything you can do in c and more in freebasic.

Here are a couple of links.

Lol wow I know you didn't say that. Please write me a driver in FreeBASIC and let me see it. And then after that write an Operating System kernel in FreeBASIC. Wow stop arguing with me, for forever.

Okay, look here. First of all, no. you. can't. Okay, you've got a gui. Fine. What about system calls, networking, driver writing. Nobody will choose your ****ty basic when they're building an OS, a compiler, an assembler, or linker. Nobody. From your signature and demeanour it is clear that you are some sort of evangelist or salesperson for your "Freebasic", which, unlike the vast majority of languages, isn't even free! No one wants to pay for a crappy language when they can get a good one for nothing, and likely it's already on their computer. You cannot do everything you can do in C. "Freebasic" is not powerful. Stop saying the same stuff and directing us to advertising. Most of us are independent programmers working on our own projects. You tactics work on suits, not us. Go find our bosses. Go.

Thank you /praise ^^^.

Favorite post ever ^^^.

For your information, Freebasic is a free open source compiler written in Freebasic.

You can make system calls and do networking programing. Even works in linux.

And I am not associated with Freebasic. I just find it a very useful tool for some windows programming.

If I was going to try to sell something; it would be "RadioTelephone Tutor". You are not going to see the link to it in this post.

Dude write me a driver in FreeBASIC if it can do anything.

Okay, by, goodnight, go to sleep.

*Better yet right a kernel.
