Learn C then C ++ then C#\n\nIf you only want to create a comertial site then you need to think of wath is the most important feature you need to have.\n\nSpeed: learn C++, HTML and PHP.\nPortability: Java.\nDatabase Acces: VB and ASP.

If you know C++, you can learn everything easily - PHP, Java, .NET...\n\nI personally find Java a little bloated and too complex.\n\nDon't get caught in .NET.

java is the best out there but its kind of difficult for a beginner.  you can best start with C+ or C++ and move on from there.  It isnt like back in the days of BASIC there are no more if then go to loops.  Before you even hit the C+ or Java I recommend you get a book on MS-DOS 6.0 or better so that you are more familiar with the command lines and how to format the commands so the computer will understand what you want. Good luck

There is no such language: each language is good in some private case. People answering your question are glad to kill basic and fortran. But note that for simple, even primitive programs (when you want, e.g., quickly test some your idea) basic is a suitable one. Fortran has tons of scientific and engineering libraries and thus is widely used today. I, personally, do not like Pascal - but it is my own phobia :-)

learn HTML it is easy to code and is the best programming language as you can go to the very basics and paint shop pro the demo you can get from the website which is free.

The best way to learn any program or programming language is to become friends with a search tool.  You can use yahoo or google to start off with.\n\nThere are a lot of tutorial sites out there.  Just try doing a search for "Front Page Tutorials" or "Adobe Premiere Tutorials".  You can put the whole word in quotes when you search so that it will search for exactly what you type.\n\nYou can also check out w3schools.com, which is an internet standard website that has a lot of easy to learn tutorials.  You can start off by learning HTML, which is very easy to get the hang of once you go through a couple of tutorials.  Just be patient and make sure you go through the whole tutorial.\n\nProgrammers live on search tools.  I, myself, have a google toolbar that I use frequently to learn new stuff.  Try it out.

Of course there is. And one of the best is "How to think like a Computer Scientist, Learning with Python". Python is better lenguage not only to learn to program but the best language available nowadays. \n\nVisit http://www.python.org to learn more about Python.\nVisit http://www.ibiblio.org/obp/thinkCSpy/ to read or download the book.

First you must get a basic idea of the terms used in any computer language. This site will help you:\nhttp://www.jegsworks.com/lessons/lesson9/lesson9-1.htm\n\nAfter that you must find a suitable tutorial for the language you are trying to learn.

All you really need is a compiler and place to test it.  Although some languages don't even need a compiler.  If you have a Linux machine handy, shell scripting is a great place to start learning the fundamentals of programming.  If you know what you want to program, that's a really good start to finding the language that suits your needs.

definitely, PHP. (If you have to choose from these three that is - otherwise, I would have voted for perl). \nWhen you talk about web, and/or text processing, php (or perl) is THE tool for you. Nothing comes close in ease of use, and effectiveness (of both run-time and development). \nSeveral pages of a C++ or java  program are usually translated to 2-3 lines of perl or php.\n... and no, there are no "security issues",  if your server is configured properly. And if it isn't, you've got issues regardless of language. To be viable, security must be provided by the web server, not by application. \n\nYour other choices have their problems.\nJava is cumbersome, ineffective, memory hungry, unstable... to name a few. You'd be really much better off with C++ than java, especially, since you already know it. Java doesn't have any advantages over C++, except for some perceived "simplifications", that are really just functional deficiencies - such as luck of memory management options or multiple inheritance.\n\n.NET... hmmm.... hope, you are not serious. All I can say, stay away from micro-soft stuff as much as you can. It can bring nothing but sorrow.

Computer science is a course where they tell you the basics of everything i mean basic to advance of different language.\n\nE.g\n- java\n- php\n- vb\n- msql\n- etc etc etc\n\nWhile in information technology they teach you 2-3 language but only basic - intermediate and they also teaches analytical things like business process of a certain project. They also do this in comsci but not as detailed as what they give to infotech. \n\nInfo tech is more business oriented while comsci is more of the technical side...\n\nYou want to be a hacker and your a beginner... Here figure this out 1st then imma teach you some stuffs...\n\n1 + 1 = 1 <-- Yes this is true...\n\nWhy on earth would you like to be a hacker? Darn it! kids this days! sheeeeeesh!

Ah, c++ is a good language to learn. =) \n\nIf you download microsoft c++, it comes with tutorials, not very good ones. \n\nAnyway, here's an alright site.. http://www.cprogramming.com/\nHere's another site.. http://www.functionx.com/visualc/\n\nHope that helps.

Java or C.\nChoose Java, because it's similar to C, and easier to learn, due to Java's consistent handling of storage locations by reference, and automatic handling of memory management.  As a bonus, you can run your program on any system that supports Java, and embed your program as an applet accessible from anywhere with Internet access. Should you require more efficiency, you can relatively easily translate your program in Java, to a program in C, after you learn and know C.\n\nI'm limiting my answer based on the assumption that you personally want to *learn* a programming language.  You would likely expend fewer resources by simply giving your problem data to a programmer for hire.  If your script conversion doesn't require capabilities like grammar recognition, any programmer with a clue can code a basic utility in minutes.\n\nNote to programmers: I base this learning approach on a graduated, learn as you need to know, rationale, that leaves open a transition path to maximum product efficiency (C or C/assembly), or to high efficiency with a graphical interface (C or C++).  I acknowledge that less ubiquitous higher level languages exist that are better suited for specific types of text processing.

For the beginning, take either C++ or Java based on your interest. Both languages are object oriented and a great option to shape your programming mind. Later, you could start .Net and take advantage of classy programming with an open mind. In .Net, you may choose C#.Net which has a C++ and Java like syntax.\nThe very important fact in programming is the ability to find proper algorithms. The language is the second fact. So try to improve your algorithmic view first.\n\nHappy Programming.

Depending on the language you feel most comfortable with.\nFor Fortran, C, C++ I suggest GNU tools.\nJava you can download from Sun for free.\nAs IDE eclipse is available for free and you can plug in most commonly used compilers, many of these as well available without charge.
