Hey guys as some of you may have seen my post down below, I want to start to learn coding because I want to major in Computer Science and get a head start before I actually start my courses. I thought about it after trying to learn Swift, because I want to learn how to make iPhone apps, from thenewboston and saw that I still didn't really understand what was going on all too well, so what language should I start out with? Thanks

Start off with Visual Basic to learn the basic programming principles, and move onto C# when you are confident. Refer to this sticky: Forums/t=4961623/beginners-guide-...mming.html

I think Lua is one of the best languages to start out with(even though mine was python) because it has a lot of the same fundamentals as python, but its got a relatively easy learning curve compared to c++ or something hard while still getting you prepared for languages of such caliber.

definitely check it out

For me I started out using HTML with CSS
HTML is the base coding
CSS is the design for the coding
-This is for websites, a great resource to learn how to code: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
This link is how I learned everything I did

Maybe my expiation for HTML and CSS is hard to understand but go to the website and it explains things a lot better than me Good luck to you!

Start out with front end programming and learn HTML, CSS, JavaScript and it's framework it's all on code academy then use phonegap by Adobe to build cross platform apps for all apps stores in front end languages it's the best and easiest way

I started with C, which is a bit of a b*tch with all it's semicolons and curly brackets, but it ingrained the conventions that the more advanced and more powerful languages use.
Python is a good place to start because it's very clear and easy to see your logic and will start to build you up towards the more complex languages.
If you really want to jump in at the deep end, start with Java. It will twist your brain but you'll be better for it in the long run. Also if you use JavaFX for GUI you can learn CSS off the back of it to style your GUI's (which is something I wish I'd learned, but now I need others to write it for me because I just don't have the spare time to learn it)
