    According to you which is the easiest language to learn? Is it Dot Net or Java Or any other language that you can say one can learn it easily. However it depends on person to person as I have seen many people who learn the programming languages very quickly and grasp the things much faster as compare to other's like for me it was C#.

    Python has been marketed as an easy-to-learn programming language. Its English-like statements are a lot easier to understand and I would easily recommend it for non-programmers. However I do love establishing a good foundation, and there's no better way to do that than to start with C.

    Actually the web related programming languages like HTML and PHP are fairly easy for the beginner whether he belongs to field of IT or not.It is from my personal experience that one should learn the web related programming language, then he will be able to learn the others.

    Obvious answer for your question is Python. Learning Python is a lot like learning a to write efficient. You already know some concepts of programming like syntax, variables etc. But, what you need to know is how to use that knowledge to create a program.

    Python has built-in modules which are just like the building blocks. You just need to learn how to use these blocks to build a nice and warm house. If you have a creative mind but not the time to learn everything about a language, then i would suggest you to learn Python. You can learn it in short-time and use that creativity to build something nice, may it be a simple calculator or a simulator.

    I think the most easiest programming language in the earth is BASIC . Yes , it's BASIC . You may be thinking that the programming language BASIC don't have much power since it's a low level programming language but that's not true . I made a 3d game with one of favourite 3rd party software BlitzBasic and it's easy too.

    In my opinion the most easiest coding language is HTML.It's so simple, all you got to remember is closing the HTML tags with the tag brackets, for example:
    <p>This is a paragraph</p> (You always need to close the tag with the tag bracket "/", if you don't then the paragraph will not appear when you open the web page!)
    <p><strong>This is a bold-paragraph</strong></p> (The tag <strong></strong> makes the text bold)

    This was just a short example of a HTML Language.

    Sincerely,
    Mergim Mulaj

    Python for sure. But if you serious in programming then pick C first, it's strong language, after you familar with C you can learn any language without any problem.

    I have learned html and php (half part) very fast. When i started making websites like 10 years ago, when i was 14 years old, at first i tough i will never learn these things, but when you use it every day things just getting easier and easier. I would like to learn some JAVA scripting but that seems pretty to hard for me, i would use JAVA for making plugins to minecraft server since i own a big network my self.

    I think python is great for specifically the reason you wrote about in your question. Python doesn't really force you to do anything or follow any rules so you can hit the ground running in terms of code. This was great to keep me interested on specific problems I was facing. As I got better and hit performance and design problems with my code, I was able to modify it to take advantage of more 'advanced concepts' such as algorithm design and object oriented principles. I have started reading many other programming books and find no matter what language they are in, I can apply the lessons (or theory) in python fairly easily. The community is super friendly and very helpful as well (but I suspect this may be true about most programming communities as well).

    Good luck and remember you’re not chained to a specific language; most of the programmers I have met are using many different languages and apply more general principles to coding than relying solely on one language.

    I think Python is the easiest language to learn by far. Take it from a person who knows Java, C++, .net framework and PHP. It doesn't follow the strict syntax that other languages have. For example, when writing a statement, there is no semi-colon at the end which is a pitfall that most beginners in programming have trouble with.

    Unlike C++ or Java, python gently eases you into object oriented programming which can be overwhelming for a beginner. Another advantage of python is that it's a powerful language and it is increasingly becoming popular with a huge community. What this means for you is that if you have a problem or if you encounter a difficult question, you can engage with the community and come up with an answer fairly quickly.

    One of the questions most frequently asked by beginners interested in learning how to write programs is "Which language should I start in?"

    I think you're asking the wrong question here. Any job in the field of computer science or software engineering will require you to be super flexible, and the languages you know are nowhere near as important as your theoretical skills. Don't focus on language specifically, focus on concepts and hierarchies. I would personally suggest the textbook that can be found at htdp.org. It teaches you the theory behind coding in a language called Racket, which even a complete novice can pick up in only a few hours.

    Anyways, that's just my two cents. If you find something you enjoy, stick with it! Nothing will take you further in this field that passion. Try not to focus on a specific language or concept - try to learn how it all fits together!

    I would recommend learning Python as a starting language. Whilst it does not provide much real-life functionality this is far superseded by how easy it is to grasp and learn the fundamentals of programming. It makes other languages much easier to learn if you have a solid foundation such as Python (almost like a "gateway" language). Beyond that, I would recommend learning C++ as it is a very flexible language that can be used in all kinds of scenarios (such as game development).

    The thing about programming is that in the beggining languages don't actually matter that much, what matters is your understanding of the actual concepts in computer science, once you learn those you will be able to easily translate them across all the languages you want, that's why they are called languages in the first place.

    Having said that I would actually recommend you languages with lots of existing documentation and large user bases, good examples of these are JavaScript and Python, you'll be able to grasp a lot of the concepts fairly easily with the latter one since it's almost like English.

    Then as you move on and further into the world of programming you'll have to pick a path depending on the type of things you want to program, these could be websites, apps, PC software, enterprise software, video games, systems, etc.

    I think Java is the simplest of all. Simply because all that you code is very similar to the English language. Fortunately it will be simpler if you know the language. For example consider the line below:-

    System.out.println(".");

    Simply meaning print in a new line

    I believe it all depends on your level of experience. If you are completely new to programming and computers in general then you will want to start with HTML. The reason being is that while there are possibly easier languages to learn HTML is the most basic and the commands are generally the easiest to remember. Along that same line almost all web based programming at least follow the same type of structure and if you do not know the basic layout of programming languages it makes it even harder. If you learn one or two then you can generally infer what a certain line of code can do in another language without actualy knowing the full language.

    It depends.If you want to develop dynamic websites and web applications using different frameworks, then go for Python.It is the easiest programming language till now and also in demand now a days.
    If you want to develop android application or software for desktop,then you should go for Java instead of C++ or C.Its syntax is lot easier than C++ and has many powerful libraries.
