I want to get into programming. Any suggestions for languages to start with? Oh and am I right about that there are different languages?

I suggest python 3(3.5). About as simple as they come, very flexible, and great to learn concepts and make scripts without as much syntax and labor as java. 

                     .
                   _/ V\
                  / /  /
                <<    |
                ,/    ]
              ,/      ]
            ,/        |
           /    \  \ /
          /      | | |
    ______|   __/_/| |
   /_______\______}\__}

I can also vouch for Python. My computing class used it since we didn't have very much experience with coding and we picked it up easily. Keywords are also highlighted, which I found extremely useful, especially for quickly troubleshooting issues.

Keywords are highlighted based on the text editor you're using.

 

As for the OP. I also recommend Python. It's a good learning language which can be used for actual projects.

Perhaps I should've elaborated in my earlier post. We used IDLE (bundled with the Windows installation from what I remember), which is the Python GUI and is what was recommended in the beginner's guide we used (cannot remember the source).

 

EDIT: I found the document: it's "An Introduction to Python" by Mark Clarkson (V2), however places like codecademy seem to go into detail (possibly more so than the guide).

Notepad++ is all you need :P and syntax highlighting can be configured to whatever you want.

Start with C++, Common Lisp, Perl or Python (with C++ being the most interesting language for starters and Python the least interesting one).

Write in C.
