Which language?

Lately I've been thinking about some cool ideas for programs, etc. And, I'm disappointed with my lack of programming knowledge. I know some Java, Html, and CSS. But I'm more interested in programs, not web.


I'm extremely good at math, I understand it easily.
It seems I need deep explanations on what each thing does, but once I learn once, I never forget. I wanna learn something easy, but challenging.

Any suggestions?

 

What are you wanting to be able to do?

 

Simple programs for personal use like auto clickers, music players, Runescape switchers, calculators, etc.

 

VB 6 for a challenge, or VB 2008 for a walk through.

 

Yeah I would go with VB 6 because later on you can develop to bigger programs.

 

I wouldn't say VB6, it's outdated. If you're beginning, you're probably better off learning a language which is actually kept up to date.

Try anything under .Net. C# is extremely similar to Java in terms of syntax and code structure, so I recommend learning that. More information at http://www.microsoft.com/express.

 

Depends i guess, i started vb6, i love it.. but i wish i had started with some other languages, whenever i try now i always end up going back to vb
