So Facepunch , is there any language for an absolute begginer like me ?
C.

What kind of begginer are you?
QBasic :v: Seriously, what are you programming interests? No language is good for everything.
Edit: Late :(
An absolute one , i don't know anything about programming , but i feel like i am ready to get into programming , General Programming to be excact
Don't start learning anything like C or C++ when you're first starting out unless you really want to deal with manual memory management (which, to be honest, no DIY programmer should start learning first)

Oh for fucks sake, here we go with the memory management bashing again, it's not hard, you just have to free stuff you allocate.

I'm sure I wasn't the only one who had a really hard time grasping the simple concepts of pointers and manual memory management. I had been coding for at least 3 years before I took up C++ and even then I found it exceedingly difficult to think through.
I suppose some people just get it instantly, but I know I had some real trouble in the beginning. After pointers started to make sense everything else was pretty straight forward from there.

If he is an absolute beginner he should worry about if statements and loops. Memory management comes later ;) .
I don't know about people's stance on this but I was taught delphi/pascal as my first real language. My teacher was great V:v:V.

[code]
if (true) {
printf( "true" )

[/code]
C++ really would be bland if you couldn't use variables in conditions :v:
Ok, heres teh deel. In my eyes, I would go with C#, and use the XNA environment if you plan on making games! Its a fairly simple, intuitive language, not nearly as complex as C/C++. It isnt a "beginners language" because each language has its own advantages/disadvantages from every standpoint. Its more an intuitive language. You would have a much easier time playing around with C# and getting a feel than you would C or C++. I havent tried python yet. Also, dont try java. If after you have a feel for programming in C#, try J# for a bit because it was made specifically for Java programmers to try C, and vice versa. Then hop into java! Programming is very diverse, just find your niche :3.
Hope this helped!

Why not Java, it's really similar to C#. Also, J# is unsupported and just Microsoft's implementation of Java.
C# or Java

C was the first language i learnt. Granted, i was awful at it, but i got the basics after a while. Its not immensely difficult to pick up, even when you're learning from a crappy tutorial on the internet designed for people cross compiling from cygwin to the psp :v:
The programming [i]concepts[/i] (functions, pointers, memory, arguments etc) are the hardest thing i think, the languages themselves dont make a huge amount of difference IMO

If it's that simple then why should I have to do it at all?
[QUOTE=Ortzinator;31262377]If it's that simple then why should I have to do it at all?[/QUOTE]
To manage memory.

See the halting problem. It's kind of like that.

um
Python.
Also, if you can't spell, then you're going to have extreme difficulty with programming.

Well, he could #Define all his spelling mistakes into the appropriate terms.. :v:
Python is great.
Ive asked this question before and Ive been told Pearl numerous times. I never tried it out yet though.
