Hey everyone,

good looking forum here :D well im a noob to programming (sort of)

i started off a few years ago getting into some good ol' vb6 when i was 14-15... gave that up after i got a social life ^.^ haha

anyways, now that my career seems to be in the IT section now, im looking for a programming language that i can start learning again (as a noob) that will set me up for other languages etc. My current 'track-record' is VB6, HTML, a liiiittle bit of PHP (when it came to editing my own forum, other php pages etc), and some cmd prompt shiz, a few unix commands, batch files, and the like.

This site looks great, looks like theres alot of stuff i can learn here and i look forward to my stay :)

Blimey! You sure do have a lot of books! Bear in mind you can find a lot of free resources (including tutorials) on the internet, if you run a Google search. It's always nice to have a hard copy to refer to, though.

Welcome to the digital community Code Call.

You're probably searching for a computer programming languages that has a object oriented, imperative or functional computer programming paradigm and concept for problem solving. As some folks here already mentioned, is the choice of a computer programming language like C or C++ not bad. A nice proposal. However, if you really want to understand the way computer machines and computer software works and you are curious, there is fortunately/unfortunately no other way than learning the concept of the computer programming language Assembly.

Learning the assembly isn't essential for programming, though. You can easily make variables meet without a knowledge of it.

Thanks everyone :) ive found a few more books:

* Visual CSharp 2005 A Developers Notebook
* C++ Network Programming Volume 1
* HeadFirst C# Guide
* C# Programming for the absolute beginner

If anyone wants me to share them with you, just PM me :) i know how hard these little S.O.B's are to find =/

[R-G]

I fully agree in this matter, Xav. Of course, if you read my opinion again, you will understand what I actually ment. I was talking about real concepts of problem solving and computer machine understanding.

Oh, OK then. It's weird how little people know about the machines they use every day.
