Advise On Programming

Postby Tib » Mon May 19, 2008 1:55 am

Alright, here's my question :P, I know absolutely nothing about programming, but after seeing all these projects that work towards a more stable/enjoyable OS (Wine, Ultimate Edition, etc), it makes me want to learn to program, so that one day, I might be as knowledgeable as the great TheeMahn :P.
I read the other posts looking for any info, but didn't really find what I wanted. I'm wondering what languages are used to program linux/most linux-based stuff, and/or what language would be best to learn. I toyed around with BASIC for half an hour a while back, cause someone said I should start with that....but I gave up on it, cause I haven't heard of anything using BASIC in a while, and I wanted to learn something that I could actually USE :P.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks!

Tib

Python is an easy to learn programming language, and is quite useful. One of the parts that I like about it is that I can "glue" together projects I do in C++ (which is faster, but also more pain to write) and other formats real easily. I think Python would be a good program for a beginner, as it is interpreted so you can see what each line of code does.
