Hey :) Just a quick introduction. The name's Scheme (as if you couldn't tell). I am just learning the basics of programming, so please don't make fun if I say something dumb unintentionally! Anywho, just wanted to say hi :)

- Scheme

Hi :)

I know a bit of HTML, but I really want to learn C++ to start with. Well, I want to learn as much of everything as possible really, so any help would be much appreciated :D What languages do you know or are learning?

That sounds like me, I want to learn quite a bit about a lot of languages. I'm learning java, c++, and next year C#.NET and VB.NET :D

HTML is what got me into coding, and then i went onto CSS, JS and PHP+SQL recently :D

Ah cool! :cool: Sorry if I'm asking too many questions now, but in your opinion, which is the best language for me to start learning?

Nope questions are fine :D

It all depends on what you want kind of applications you want to make:

Web sites: XHTML, CSS, JS, PHP, MySQL, Java, perl - all of these serve different purposes.
Windows: C#, Perl, C++
Cross platform: C++, perl maybe? i don't know much about perl.

Hmm...food for thought! I think I'll probably concentrate on C++ and dabble in a bit of XHTML on the side :p Thanks for your help, by the way. I was starting to think that no-one would even reply to my first post!

Oh, were really friendly and this site is a lot of fun :D I tried enough C++ to know how to output to a console, make decisions and gather input and use loops and stuff. :D I'm taking a course in C++ in september.

If you know HTML, then XHTML is easy to learn. Lowercase everything, quotes on all attributes and don't shorten everything and use a DOCTYPE :D Strict doctype is my favorite :)

Hey Scheme, welcome to CodeCall! Ask as many questions as you like, that is what the forum is for! I think C++ is a great starting language as are the others that Chili5 mentioned.
