Is programming hard to do and does it take a long time to learn? What are the fun and boring parts? I'm 14 and I was thinking about learning some about it. It sounds pretty interesting and creative.

I would like to hear your thoughts about it.

If I Were You, Start With VB Then Go To C#

If I were you I wouldn't start with VB. You should either start with C++, C# or Java.

Honestly, if I were you, I'd start out in C#. When I started out in VB I didn't learn one single thing till I moved to C#. I had no idea how syntax worked, what the **** a string was and just C&P'd code. Where's in C#, I've learnt a lot of stuff.

Since no one answered his main question I will.

Programming is sometimes difficult to understand. It takes a long time to learn. Also you never really stop learning programming, because they keep coming out with newer versions with more features. I know java and I find it much easier then VB or C#, C++, etc. I find java is a programming language that requires less code then the mentioned languages. for example:

in Java


System.out.print("Hello World!");


Prints Hello World

While in C++


 cout << "Hello World!" << endl;

prints out Hello World.

I find that Java is more user friendly because the components can be recognized easier.

Examples: JFrame - is a frame
JButton - is a button
System.out.print () - sends out a message to your computer (System) to print a line

also you don't have the hassle of putting in the < signs which is just inconvenient.

Also I have seen that the programs mentioned so far are all application programs (or you can include applets in Java's case (Hooray for multipurpose)). No one has mentioned any web design programs. In that case I would suggest you learn HTML and CSS first then move onto php. anyway. It matters what you want to achieve with your programming.

Hope this helps you in your choice of learning programming (or not) and hope that this helps you decide on a language.

Overall what is the simplest to you is the language you should try. Just try making a simple program with each and then see which one you like best.
