How can I get started with programming?


I am currently in High School but I'm quite interested in programming. I've never learnt any programming language like C++ or Java and wanted to ask if anyone knew where I could find tutorials or something else to help me?

Also, which language should I start with?

P.S. When sending links to sites, make sure the sites aren't too complicated as I haven't done anything like this before.

Alright, fresh blood. God I miss those days when I was reading through all of the beginner books and tutorials to figure out how to program. Personally I started out with python (See links below). The links I will provide for you will help you learn python and get the resources you need to start learning it.

First off, before anything else you need to download an install python. So heres that link to start you off.

Personally I would prefer a book to learn from instead of tutorials online because they are professionals that can explain it sooo much better.
http://www.amazon.com/Python-Programming...
This is the book I used to learn Python and I thought it was a very good book. Very easy to follow and has a good learning setup.


If you don't want to spend a little bit one money on one of these books. Then check out some of these online tutorials.

I'm pretty good in Python so you can feel free to contact me with your programming issues and I will try to answer them for you.

Also I see alot of people have been recommending C and Pascal and other languages like that. I recommend not listening to them, those languages are and will always be more complex than java. Also some people may say visual basic because its the easiest, but thats barely any programming at all. I suggest not learning that unless you really have to. I know I don't enjoy using that language at all.

I hope you found this useful!

a good starting language is delphi, then progress to c#. try tubo delphi and visual c# express

I started with pascal and then I passed to Java.
Here you'll find how to start in Java:

first, to learn the programming basics and algorithms, use C Language.

then, to learn the Object Oriented Concepts, migrate to C++
a free C++ book from

Good luck dude :D

hmmm its gud to know tht u r interested in prgrmng...as u r a beginner so i'd suggest u to learn C first....coz it is easier than any other language...try to develop smaller programs in C, like addition , subtraction , multiplication etc...n then try to solve some complex problem gradually....as far as help is concerned then i'd say tht C language itself provides u the help .... by using C 's help u can learn C easily.....install Turboo C++ n run it, when screen appears press the key f1....tht will show u the complete help list ...then select stdio.h n press enter....it is the library tht is used in C prgrmng. see the contents of the library n copy the examples n then try to thnk like a compiler , try to thnk tht wht is happening at the back end, how the statement is executing n how the compiler is doing its work, a facility named watch is available in C which lets c know the step by step working of the compiler..if u need more info then u can contact me or u can add me too..i'll try my level best to help u in learning the programming languages..coz i am a student of software eng. so dont hesitate to contact me.....but if u want to visit any other website for theory then go n visit
Cplusplus.com
cprogramming.com
n u can find other tutorials by searching @ google or yahoo.com

Hi, based on my experience:

1. LISP <---- the magic of recurrence!!!!
2. PASCAL <------ easiest procedural programming language
3. C <------ most versatile procedural programming language
4. C++ & JAVA <------ object oriented programming language
