New to Coding

[mlangusmc]

Wats up everyone, I've just joined up on the forums, been reading them for some time though.  I found out about Hak. 5 about a month ago and I've always been interested in coding and making my own apps. 

This post is for help for a newbie. . . . What programs or any suggestions on what I need to know or do to start learning how to write code or read and understand it a little better.  I've heard the Visual Basics 6 is a good start for beginners, anything else as far as reading or hnads on type stuff????

play with a little php to get your feet wet it's uber simple/newbe forgiving

then I like python but more people know and like C or C++ or C#

don't  learn VB. start with a C language like C++ or c#

I love Python, it's so quick and easy, everyone should be coding in it. I still believe in the right tool for the right job so Python is not the best option for a lot of things but it's the best place to start coding. At some point if you like coding your need to learn c/c++ but you can leave that a while.

For me i started programming in Pascal then moved to VB6 and now on VB.net 2005 (2003 was crap) that is mostly because i was taught how to use them and not pick a programming langauge and the teacher teach you how to program.
