Programming brehs, is Visual Basic a good language to learn?

[Skrilla]

I want to get into programming and someone recommended Visual Basic to start out with...I have a little experience with VB but it was a few years ago. I remember a little bit about it but i never really went in depth.

Is it a good idea to learn it further? Or should i go with another language? Thanks in advance brehs

It's an event driven programming language, I'd recommend you learn a object oriented programming language...

Go with python it is one of the better starting languages

I'd recommend picking up javascript.

check out codecademy and codeschool, if you're disciplined, you can learn enough to get a job as a junior developer in maybe 3 months.

I learned VB 6.0 back in HS to program a blackjack gameCouldn't solve the logic and you "won" every game, even if you went bust.

Got an A because everyone else cheatedGoogle was primitive as fukk, but code was online.

If I were to pick something up today, my top 3 would be:

1. Javascript
2. Python
3. Swift (IOS proprietary for now)

Pretty much pick something, bang it out for half a year or so, then pick up another language. It becomes easier when you understand one or two.

definitely start as soon as possible, you'll look back and be amazed at how far you've come. It's very fulfilling to build something out that people can actually use.

Agreed. Learn Javascript then go into HTML5 and then CSS3. After that you are familiar with how these components work with each other you can learn frameworks such as DOM.

Think of HTML5 as creating static web pages, CS3 as editing the way it looks and javascript making it interactive.

Plenty of material is out there for free.

Yeah, that was the first ever programming I learned in a class.

Had fun playing with them buttons and shyts

For application development yes.

if you want to do scripting/pen testing and application development - go Python!

My question to you is what is your reason for learning to code? Depending on your answer is what language you should start out with.
