Hi
I'm looking for a good Programming Language for beginners. I've used Python, Visual Basic and C# for very basic tasks though I want to know one programming lanuage to a high level.
Would anyone be able to reccomend one?
Thanks.
Francis.

Python and scheme are used in a lot of intro to CS classes in college.

Any of those are perfectly good choices. It just depends on what you want to do.

I started with C and then I got a beginner book on Java and I've noticed the little that I know of C has helped me greatly while learning Java.

C is not a big language and it does not offer much features but it forces you to do a lot of work on your own (concepts like memory management). I started with C. No regrets.

I agree with fread. I think it's better to start off with C. As a beginner you need to do a little bit more work on your own. Changing language later on would not be a problem since technically it's just a change in syntax. As long you have the skills and know the semantics, you're good to go :)

I highly recommend the book "The C Programming Language" by Kernighan and Ritchie. :)
