so i dont know the first thing about programming and i want to learn a language and just really get in to the world of it but i dont know where to start also any suggestions for what language?

[SquintyG33Rs]

java or C# are close enough to english and basic logic that you'll pick it up in no time but it will be tough without a clear project to guide you

[FishOnAComputer]

what kind of project? i mean what if i want to do things more based in gaming or if you are in support of it like maybe social media hacking? currently the only thing ive been able to do is be a script kitty by making a facebook fishing site to see what i was capable of but i copied it off youtube but i am also interested in games maybe like a mod or something

[Alex Carr]

another that i used to practice on is called Dard Basic that also is very simple

[FishOnAComputer]

i googled dard basic and a bunch of stuff about farming came up.....

I've read that a lot of schools are starting students with JavaScript instead of Java. Supposedly it is easier for students to pick up on because they don't have to learn about methods/functions, classes, etc. until later on, allowing them to focus on the code.

java literally throws OOP in your face until you're sick, at least what the literature was like here in the UK.

 

i totally understand this change for a beginner. No new person to programming is going to learn about contructs when they can't even print to the screen, add numbers or even get data from the user.

that fully depends on what you want to make later on. Desktop applications c# / java, web based php/javascript, command line python/ bash

i would like to do web based stuff like the phishing i mentioned earlier but actually make my own scripts

[Beskamir]

As is usually the case, I suggest you start with Python. This looks like the best resource for learning Python but it's not what I used when I learned it so I can't really evaluate it from experience. https://inventwithpython.com/

 

Also following a tutorial series might get boring and you'd mainly be developing a functional mental model of how the language works so try to go off on your own path here and there and if you run into issues chances are a google search will help you.

making. Facebook clone that saves their login is very simple, make a page look like Facebook, php for catching the forms data. 

 

I'm currently working on tool to scrape data from web sites using JavaScript in greasemonkey.

Do not speak of any illegal activities here.
