hey /prog/, fresh slate here. i posted over in /g/ not being able to find the discussion boards so what that says about my intelligence, who knows.
i would like to begin programming, gaining a sortof basic very base understanding is my only real goal at the moment. but as a beginner the number of differing languages can be daunting, from the other thread it seems that C++ will be too complex, java might be okay, python and haskell came up as probably preferable as a beginner.
few questions if people care enough to answer, which would you start with? and a nudge in the right direction to begin learning said language would be terribly helpful.
cheers to anyone taking the time to read this.
