A friend of mine in here needs an easy to learn programming language. (not visual basic). Can anybody hook me up with some links? If possible; also some links to the tutorials for that language. thank you Iedereen wilt naar de Hemel, maar niemand wilt sterven

Well, you could give this a try. http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/20020102.html http://www.rubycentral.com/book/ I'm sure others will have different suggestions. Guy

If you are starting from scratch then there is no such thing as an easy programme to learn. Visual Basic is by far the easiest to learn if you have had previous programming experience. Regardless of which programme you chose, you are going to have to start of learning some of the fundamentals of computer programing and they are much the same for any programming language. What should be the deciding factor is what it is you wish to do with this programming skill. What types of programmes are you likely to want to write. Stuart

On my site I have a tutorial on Java. The good thing about this tutorial is that it explains programming logic, pseudo-coding, and how computers and the computer components interpret and process machine level code. This is an intro to object-oriented programming in general, using Java. This tutorial is very comprehensive. Back Slash What came first, the compiler or the code? Visit my site Back Slash

Stuart is dead on...The larger question when picking a starter language is what kinds of applications you plan on writing. Web, scripts, windows apps, etc. Personally, I'm a C# fan. Good luck, -SN
