Question

What programming languages are good to start with?
Could you please recommend some languages including their purpose and function?


Thank you

Answer 1

I would recommend JavaScript, CSS3 and HTML5. it's the same thing I've started out with.

Answer 2

We started with drscheme when I was in high school, that language eventually evolved into ratchet

any of the popular object oriented languages should be easy enough to jump into
I think Java would be better than c++/c . it's prettier

Answer 3

My high school taught Java, did not like it. Then again they were trying to make me use something called BlueJ IDE. TL;DR I never bothered learning Java.

You could learn C/C++/Java, but that is boring. Plus everyone has their own ethical issue on how you should learn them. (i.e. learn a bit of C first, then Java, or something like that.)

My suggestion on what programming languages are good to start with:
Any, seriously. One could start off with assembly, programming is really about translating logic to syntax, and vice versa. As long as you have basic mind that is capable of understand high level abstraction (which you being able to do mathematics proves) you are set to learn any programming language.

Anyway, here is a list of languages you can learn along with sites that may help:
Ruby: https://www.codecademy.com/learn/ruby
Rust: http://rustbyexample.com/index.html

I will not bother with C++ or C since there are different standards and well a lot of sites do not really go in depth about explain why you may get something different compiling on MSVC. I also have no source I can vouch for with Java.

Fool around with each language, whichever you like the best use it.
