Im going to the library tomorrow to see what books they have on the subject.
Who knows, this may be a new beginning.

This could be the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you ..oh
And now ... looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new
From personal experience start with Scheme.
No, just kidding.
C is probably your best bet

Definitely not C. C is ancient and too dangerous. Start with Java or Python.
Did you read the links I posted on your last post?
Java would be your best bet I assume, I'm taking a class right now.
Being ancient or not, it's a good way to learn how algorithms work, at least it did for me.
The C standard library can be dangerous but only if you're not careful.

It's also not a user friendly way to learn. You can learn the basics and algorithms in Java too. Java is better since it's the equivalent of a padded cell. It also teaches better habits :)

I'd also like to add on that attitudes towards programming are never good. C has it's place, C++ has it's place, Visual Basic has it's place, Prolog has it's place, etc.
Ah alright. I thought Java could be a bit confusing since it's OOP, but I guess people adapt themselves differently. 5amohT, try to learn how algorithms on a paper, then move to the practical part
[...] I believe it will be easier to choose a language then
@Shane yes i did, just looking for somebody (hopefully yours) recomendation :)
I hope to grow in this area as time goes on

The best way to learn is by doing. Start with the set of exercises I recommended in your previous post.

Java is an excellent first language. The OOP aspect can be confusing but it's better to learn that as early as possible.
