    The easiest is LOLCAT.

    The programming language you should start with is either Python or Java.

    Look into OOP if your learning.

    Java is definitely not recommended as a first language.

    Python is a good choice however. It uses dynamic typing and clean syntax which makes it easy to understand. The datatypes still do play a role, and you can learn that from Python. After you get that down, then you should try some statically typed languages like Java. The two aren't really close at all, namely because of syntax and the way datatypes are handled, but if you learn python and basic programming concepts from it, you can learn Java or any other language.

    Okay, thanks. Started looking into Python think I'll familiarize myself with it, and after awhile I'll move onto Java. :)

    It really depends what you want to do. If you don't mind starting with a web language, (x)HTML is very easy.

    xhtml and html are not programming languages, they are markup languages. (Hence the 'm')

    It's clear to see I distinguished them from standard programming languages. HTML is a good place to start.

    Web language typically implies something like PHP or RoR. Not html. Even so, html is not a good place to start at all if you want to learn to program. There are little to no programming aspects involved, it's not dynamic, etc. Learning html would not ever help you learn a real programming language.

    I'd go with VB.net. That's where I started out.

    Honestly, I'd recommend basic C++ for starting out. It's really easy to grasp.

    Listen to him ^. He knows what he's talking about. Python is a nice language to build off of. I started with it myself.

    Ok, i am too interested in learning a language.
    How easy do you think it would be to learn on your own?

    I started learning Javas as my first language, and it doesn't seem all that hard really, I haven't learned that much, but I somewhat understand what certain things do, I'm learning slowly.

    I think Java is easiest in terms of "get up and go".

    C++ includes/libraries can be messy and unstandardized.
    Syntax is confusing and a bit longer in terms of typing than Java.

    Java is natural in it's architecture and has many IDEs to help you along the way.

    Java is a lot more type strict than other languages, but I find this comforting. I can convert/cast my own data types.



    Be careful of video tutorials on YouTube. Many of them are misleading or incorrect. The best way to learn Java is via the official trails and libraries.

    I don't see why you shouldn't learn Java first. That's how I started and it was very easy and starting to learn other languages is also very simple. However, I do think that learning HTML / CSS and some basic PHP is a good point to at least get a taste of programming if you don't want to go straight into applications. It doesn't give you much to build off from, but its easy and gives you some confidence.
