Depends on what you want to do and/or what you need to do with the language you're gonna learn really.

If it's to create games and have fun doing it. Hob on over to http://www.freebasic.net and download what you see

. you won't regret it.

if you're going towards learning for your career, then look up the job market in your area, and learn what's in demand, that's the best advice I can give you

yeah, I'd suggest freebasic, even if its just a brigde towards c++. both are great languages, with C++ being most popular (duh).

Or you could learn Turbo Pascal [/end joke]

LOL Deleter, but dont laugh too hard...that's where I learned my programming first at college

(yeah it's been that long since I've been there lol). One thing I can say in the advantage of pascal was that the transition from pascal to C/C++ was quite smooth so even today I suggest learning Pascal First then C just because Pascal really prepares you for the complexity of C by forcing what it forces in terms of variable declaration and structures.

My two Cents...but their canadian so it's worth nothing in the US of A lol.

yeah, thats the programming language my dad learned in college...

lol....well, I like freebasic. I've been working with thebluekeyboard, and he writes really clean and structured code, all variables declared, etc....So I'm learning all that thanks to him.

One question, what is the difference between a FB TYPE, and a c++ class? (slap me if you must)....
