well, i want to thank you guys for your ideas. i think i will start with python and then move on from there. thanks guys.

OK, so your saying that i should start with python, then C? i did look at the python site and you can't beat the price. would i be able to create small programs to run on windows as well as Linux/ UNIX? if python is a good place to start, would i have to be able to learn everything there is to know about python to use it? or if i moved on to C?

this was what i had in mind,.........i was going to buy a dummies book for C++ and go from there. do you think i could learn how to use the program from that kind of book or do you think i should check out another way? i did look at the adult ed classes but no one has any. any thoughts on how to go about it? because you guys have been through it before can you suggest the better way to proceed? a book, a tutorial disk, on line class? thanks for your input.

Hi Guys, this, no doubt, has been asked before, but i wanted to learn a little programming. my thought was to go for C++. then some folks, i know, had at least 2 others, PHP and visual basic. i just wanted to learn enough to maybe do some small programs to automate some jobs. what do you guys think? would i have to learn everything there is to know or just enough to get by? thanks.
