most common/user friendly computer language?

[kinkywink]

i know their is many, if not hundreds of different types of computer languages out there that people could possibly learn, but whats the most common/user friendly computer language that actually has a use?

My guess would be vb.net. very likely that I'm wrong.
Some people might experience some languages to be more inuïtive than other.

Python is a really popular one these days. It's technically a scripting language but is capable of doing anything you'll want a language to do. And it has an interactive interpreter so you can watch a program execute every line as you type it in. I've heard people recommend using it as a calculator to do any math that you need to do until you feel comfortable with it.

 

C/C++ and Java are pretty much industry standards but they can take a little more time to get use to.

 

And this may be more appropriate to place in the Programming & Software Design section. There are several there who can give very constructive answers. Maybe a mod could move it?

python is pretty friendly but my favourite is C# and i really hope it becomes standard

I believe C and Java are the most common languages. Java isn't too difficult to learn, and it's a good way to get familiar with OO programming. I'd recommend giving Java a look if you want to start programming. Once you know the basics of Java, other languages (in particular C#) will come much easier to you. The same can be said if you were to learn another language first, though.

Visual Basic is really easy to start with and learn to code but almost isn't used anywhere anymore. Java is similar.

me personally, i have to do python and html/css at school for assignments but other then that, id like to get into proper java script coding.. Ive played around with it but never really gotten into it

 

EDIT - granted that compared to the current topic, html and css is a bit different..
