Topic: Want to learn a programming language. (Read 1378 times)
Yep, have my eye on taking python classes and finally getting acquainted with Ruby
diving into python 3 is another great course. Although it can get a little arduous at times (some chapters are just soooo long), the information in those tutorials are pricelss.
I want to start a new programming language. But I want to know what would be the best programming language for Bitcoin related projects.
C++ and Java maybe?Because the networks books I've seen(one so far) have programming exercises using Java, and C++ is used on linux.
Go is also popular among bitcoin projects, but I know nothing about it
You can also try teamtreehouse.com they offer a lot of online courses and they accept BTC
chances are if you were bored with ruby, you'll probably be bored with any language. Programming logic is pretty similar across all languages from what I know/heard. My teachers always say "the hardest programming language to learn is your first"
Lynda.com is really good
Lynda.com is really good
pythons syntax isnt strict as others so it should be easy. i did learn bash si ce i use linux most of the time
Many people cite Python as the best language to start with.
I agree with this. I start with PHP and other web languages. It wasn't a bad choice, just not the best. After learning python I wished I started that. It's an amazing first language that isn't a "toy" language at all. It's very powerful.
what about core Java is it right to learn these days and for future . I think it is the best programming language and have sufficient jobs in the market if you want to work with any company in real world I will start my class for core Java from Monday if I learn something new in my classes I will happy to share with you here
I will start my class for core Java from Monday if I learn something new in my classes I will happy to share with you here Because Java is bloated as fuck. It include shitware with JRE, it's just going down the fucking hill. It's server-side application absolutely fucking sucks monkey balls.

Why the fuck would anyone ever want to start with Javascript? It's fucking useless on it's own.
To even use Javascript, you should have a decent understanding HTML/CSS.
@OP, there's a hundred different options to choose from. Personally, it depends on what you plan on doing with your programming knowledge. If you want to do webdev, learn html*/css/php or RoR. If you want to program micro-controllers, learn C. If you want to build a server / client piece of software with a database back, could do Java/C++/C#/python rather easily. It all depends on what you want to do.
I'm not saying you technically can't code a website in C++, or you can't use PHP as a server-scripting language. It's just not recommended.
*not programming languages, but you NEED to learn them to do webdev
I agree, don't spend a dime on materials (textbooks) until you've grasped the basics. There are plenty of sites out there that will teach you languages for free. I'd start with JavaScript too, since it's the logic language of the web.

If these won't help you, you are probably just too lazy and never learn any programming.

If you're thinking of learning to code, the language you decide to pick up first has a lot to do with what you're trying to learn, what you want to do with the skill, and where you want to eventually go from there. Still, some languages are easier to pick up than others. Ruby, Java, Python, C++ all is good languages to learn.
I started with javascrypt with private server of game called MapleStory it was loooong time ago thought, books are good for self-learning.
Yeah I know python is pretty good as I did do it for a while but couldn't find any good tutorials out there.

I learned many languages through books that I purchased from Amazon. But, you could try out Learnstreet and coursera. They are pretty good for learning many subjects. Except Learnstreet is only for Python, ruby and Javascript as far as I remember. Depending on what you want to do is what type of programming lanaguage you will want to learn. A lot of people like to start off with object oriented langauges such as Python. I started with python and moved onto Javascript and then C++.
I use to learn my dlsr camera and got some video tuts from them. but of course i got it for free from elsewhere 
javascript indeed.
you can try lynda.com for videos

Thanks for that. Believe it or not I have never heard of lynda.com before and it seems like it has a wide variety of different videos for different subjects!
