ok i currently have no/little knowledge in computer programming and the different languages so im just wondering what language should i start with? if anyone can give some infomation then thanks.. but im interested in programming exploits and virii and SQL and other stuff like that i know i need java for SQL but where should i Start? and what should i learn and master first?

There is a lot of programming languages out there, but there are some particular ones that you should learn.
For the beginning i think you should learn python, one of the best languages that i have learn, you easily can do almost anything, exploits, ..., and have a large active community.

i know i need java for SQL

No, you don't have, you can communicate with databases with almost every programming language, including java.

Good luck!

Hi BrokenShell,

I think it all depends on what areas in programing you are interested in or willing to be moving into.

For example:

For Web Programing, you should consider learning something like HTML, PHP and MySQL very easy to learn and besides you can find a very good source of information for them on the internet. I personally use them for creating dynamic web sites and when I am not sure about something, I look up for tutorials on PHP, MySQL or HTML on Google. Trust me you will find it very exciting and interesting to learn.

Now if you want to do something more specific like software development C would be a good starting point and then you could move onto C++, once you have grasped the concept and have a good understanding of how it all works.

Hope this helps.

i'd say start off with perl, it is one of the easiest programming languages out there, then from there you could probably go to Java or C++ depends on what u want to do. i like java myself because of the ability to program something and being able to run it in any platform that supports java with the jre. however c++ is more complete but at the same time more complex, that will do if you are really into learning to mess around with exploits and such. however perl is the best starting point i would say (if you use linux at all)

I would recommend you starting with HTML. It isn't really a programming language but it's useful and should give you some experience coding something. Then after that it shouldn't be too confusing to learn a real programming language. If you want to work with any web scripting languages like PHP/Perl anyway you'd usually have to know HTML unless you plan to use them from the command line only.

I was always told to start with a scripting language like perl (and now PHP, python, ruby, etc...) and then go into a full blown programming language like java, C, etc... you might start at a scripting language and if it seems easy, evolve into another language. It definitely doesn't hurt to know several languages though.

I suggest starting with a language that it’s easy to make quick progress in, so you learn the basics, but will see quick feedback as to what’s going on. My favorite language for this is C. C is the only commonly used language that deals closely with memory management.
