What do you want to program?
I would recommend PHP for the internet and maybe C++ for windows applications.

well I'm not a programer and I'm trying to learn some aswell.. But I was told to learn HTML if you don't know it.. (I already did) Then learn PHP if your going to be doing web stuff. For PHP hit up http://www.3dbuzz.com he has one or two VTM's on PHP and mySQL. I think he teaches you how to build a basic page counter in one of them.In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.Comment

It depends if you're going to learn in a classroom or using a book.
For your first step into programming, I would recommend going to a local community college. Learning the basic constructs of programming can be a little mundane and boring at times. It helps to have regular classes, other students and a teacher that you can go to for help.
As for which language to learn: It really doesn't matter. The basic constructs of programming are the same (conditions, loops, etc) The only thing that changes is the way that you write it.
So, if you're planning on going to a class, pick a good one and learn whatever they teach you. Then expand on what you've learned and focus on a widely used language (I would recommend PHP because so many people in the industry need it).
If you're planning on buying a book to learn from - pick a language that you're already interested in. Or, better yet pick a place to work first, find out what they use to code and learn that.
I hope that this helps a bit.

i was not really into programming when i was in college. though i have this interest in web designing so i started working my way to basic HTML coding using Notepad to complex use of Dreamweaver. When I started using Coldfusion, it was the simplest form of progamming language i had ever used and that was history. Most of my friends experienced with years in C++, ASP and PHP never went back after using CFM.Comment

I enjoyed learning python just for the hell of it and it was fairly easy to learn but I doubt it would make you any money. I'm sure there aren't a lot of jobs available if any in python programming.Comment

Perl - it's a very forgiving language as opposed to c/c++ which can be very strictI don't endorse a god damn thing......

PHP, PERL and Javascript. You can find alot of material on these 3 online. With just about any hosting company you'll be able to use PHP and if you have shell access then PERL. This means you'll be able to learn and spend minimal dollars. The most useful language for me to date is PERL.icq: 320340263Comment

You're going to have to learn logic first before you can jump into programming. Helps tremendously.

Don't fuck with C++ if you're new unless you want to get into development of robust software applications. If you're just a web developer then learn PERL, PHP and Javascript. You'll be able to put together any system you can think of for your websites.icq: 320340263Comment
