Programming Language for a Beginner.

sSniper · Post by **sSniper** » Sat Aug 23, 2008 11:58 am

Which language do you think would be perfect for a beginner like me? I kinda know the basics and how the stuff works, but can't choose a damn language.
Help me out a bit please?
I was thinking Visual Basic for messing around, or C/C++ for more advanced stuff. And Like many other people on here, I'd like to learn basic "Hacks". Like a file that shuts down explorer.exe or something.

One language for making Windows Applications/tools and one language for Hacking and joke tools.

As far as I've understood, ther's reallytwo really popular languages worth thinking of.

C++ for hardcore programming, and Java for simpler programming. (Not that I want to call Java "simple", you have great possibilities in Java, too.)

"Hackers/Crackers" seem to often prefer python, but I think that's getting old.

For example Batch. It's a great language to make fast results. In many cases it's really nice to "work" in. It can really, only be used for very simple programming/scripting, however.

Your choice of language should be dependent on what you want to program.

PHP and JavaScript are web programming languages... a lot of sites are written in PHP... Quite a lot have Javascript (and some of these sites are vulnerable, BTW)...
C (and newer C++) are compiled languages... A lot of programs are written in C... linux kernel is written in C... Possibilities of this language are very big...
It's gonna be a good idea to know all of these languages...

Technically, he's right by the Church–Turing thesis. It just becomes a matter on how you get there. Some languages are just easier to use than others.
