"Learn some easy language", "learn some outdated language", "so as to
get the fundamentals". Sorry guys i strongly disagree with you. My
advice is: Learn the *best*  language directly. I started from C
straight, and now i am at C++ and i can suggest to learrn C at all and
go straight at C++. C++ provides all the paradigms and facilities both
high level and low level, so as anyone can learn as much as he wants and
start programming. There is no need to know the whole C++ so as to write
good programs. Also for a newcomer it is very easy to program in C++!

Consider the code:
=20
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
=20
int main()
{
 using namespace std;
=20
 string a=3D"This is my first program.";
 string b=3D"I wish to become a very good programmer";
=20
 string c=3Da+" "+b;
=20
 cout<<c;
}

I also suggested a great book which permits to learn C++ rapidly.
"Accelerated C++" by Andrew Koenig, Barbara Moo. I was informed of this
book by BS himself in an email discussion we had on TC++PL. Then i
checked at Amazon and i saw it has good comments. Also i read the
contents and i think they are great too.  Then i read the author's page
for the book and i liked it too. In summary a great book.

Good morning,

Just wanted to chime in here.  Jason's opinion on this topic is right
along the same lines as mine.  I totally agree that it is important to
learn the fundamentals behind the structure of programming first.

As I mentioned in an email to another person posting this same question
(possibly the same person under a different email address)... I'd
recommend something like Pascal or QBasic to start you off.  They are
outdated and are aimed at teaching programming from a console (DOS
window) environment, but they will be excellent at "starting your
journey" as Jason said, into the world of programming.

Back when I was in college, the first programming language that they
taught there was Pascal.  Then we progressed into C and C++ and then
into learning more about Data Structures, Algorithms, Operating Systems,
etc.  Anyway, my point is...start with something small and work up...
QBasic, BASIC, and Pascal are all languages that are great starting
points.

Start there, with the basics....and feel free to email should you have
any questions along the way.
