Re: [Dev-C++] (no subject)

[David M. <ci...@ya...>]

I learnt on pascal in high school and I just started college
I would suggest pascal as it is a structured and if you are using turbo pascal
it allows you to create objects so you can get to the advanced topics in C &
C++ in this simple language as well as the constructs (the syntax of the 
program
is uncannily similar. Pascal is not case sensitive and is a little kinder 
in terms
of it's error messages.

This should illustrate my point
{hello world in pascal}
Program Hello;
uses crt;

begin
    Clrscr;
    Writeln("Hello World");
    readln;
end.

//Hello world in C
#include <iostream.h>

int main()
{
     cout << "Hello World" << endl;
     system("PAUSE");
     return 0;
}

As you can see the structure is quite similar and thus when you
decide to move up to C or C++ the jump is quite small (all you have
to do is learn different syntax and functions). I regret to say that there are
not many good books on store shelves but you can find quite a few good
tutorials on the internet(or just write me for help).

(P.S. sorry this was so long I just had to put in my two cents)
