Well, /prog/
Today i come to you with a simple question.
What language should i learn first?
I'm not so much interested in how programming works, and i don't want a language too basic.
It seems to me that C++ is the industry standard, and I've heard a lot of people telling me it's a good language.
My goal is to learn a language before college, and then pursue my bachelors in comp. sci.
I've also been looking at microsoft,and it seems i would enjoy programming for them.

``I want to make something or other, I don't want to know what's going on but I don't want to look like I don't know what's going on, and I want a degree in it.''
Wow, /prog/ is semi-active right now. This is new. >>9
It is not mean if it is true, why would you want to program and not know how it works, when knowledge of how programming works is the basis for programming?
If you wanted to learn how to program without the the syntax hangups while you learn,then I would suggest python.

This is why i didn't turn to other threads. >>15
Well, i mean: Most of the reccomendations out there are really basic languages, that show you how shit works. I don't quite care, but i could learn how, and i'm probably already going to learn how. It's late, i'm tired, i should've expected the hate.

Learn how shit works. If you want to skip the kiddie shit, learn C. For scripting, learn whatever the fuck you like to write. Also, learn all the major paradigms.

people who come to /prog/ to learn programming are like people who come to /b/ to learn memes.
