What is the best programming language to learn?

Answer 1

1: The simplest language to learn is probably Visual Basic. However it can be limiting depending on what you want to do. You can write web based applications with it. C++ is not the easiest language to learn from scratch, in fact it is probably the hardest.

Seems to me that you need to learn about programming fundamentals, fundamentals that apply to any programming regardless of language.

2: Well, what I started with was game maker. Despite when people talk down about it, it's a pretty efficient program for how easy it is to learn. When you get to 3d games, it can be pretty bad, but the outcome of the game far defeats flash. Don't believe me? Look up Clean Asia. But it's definatly a great language to start out with.

Well, maybe Python or Ruby, but Visual Basic is also easy, but is not free.

Answer 2

There will not be an unanimous vote for a single programming language in answer to your question, as the answer depends on your background, the type of game you plan to create, and many other factors.

All programming languages have their individual strengths and weaknesses; some are highly specialized in one particular field (including game development) while others are designed to be general purpose programming language. Among the general-purpose languages, languages of the C family stand out, because they are very widely used. Therefore, they have fantastic support for all kinds of technologies used with gaming applications, such as 3D rendering and other advanced technologies.

On the lesser beaten path, programming languages like Runrev's LiveCode offer a good and fast learning experience. Unity and others specialize in 3D animations, and Processing comes to mind for many other applications.

All are pretty easy to learn if you have a good background in that area. Beginners must realize that this will take a good effort to learn language, tools and mathematics behind the game idea.

Answer 3

C++ and Java are two of the most well-known and used programming languages today. They are also very easy to learn. Java is even based on C++, but contains some stuff that C++ doesn't, such as automatic memory management.

Answer 4

At the moment C++ is the best programing language to learn because it is so widely used on all platforms today.

Answer 5

i think c is the best language for programming. it is the basic and mother language of computer. if we have gripped in c then i think we can learn every language very easily.

Answer 6

well, every language has its own importance, but as a starter you can start with C language.. however if you like designing phase, i will suggest Visual basics.. its also easy to learn..

Answer 7

Many experts say that PASCAL is the best computer language for beginning programmers.

Answer 8

The simplest language to learn is Visual Basic.
