You are asking several questions whose complexity exceeds the usual scope of a $2.00 question. I suggest that you either raise the price considerably, or greatly simplify the question so that it can be answered in the five or ten minutes that a $2.00 price would justify. |

"programming" is everything involved in making a computer run, e.g. all of the software. the hardware is nothing more than very complex circuits. "programming" uses them. most higher level programming languages are capable of the same tasks and are essentially interchangeable. c++, c, fortran, pascal, are essentially similar. some other languages like visualJ and java are better for use in things needed visual representation. lower level programming in Assembly can most easily do the smaller tasks, like program higher level software to understand a given piece of hardware, which uses nothing more than complex voltage signals. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming there's your reference. |

Program languages vary as to the time it takes to learn them, and what they are for. If you want a simple programming language that is easy to learn, then a full implementation of BASIC may be the answer. Some folks who are marginal programmers claim, though, that they had trouble shifting to harder languages. Some criticism of BASIC comes from those who have never used a full implementation, just one of the simple things such as early computer versions. Full implementations do provide duplicate use of variable names in modules. Fortran is allegely optimized for math and science. ADA was developed to maximize control of large number of programmers on a large project. C++ is used today for most Linux programming. So, it depends upon what you are planning to do, and how fast you learn. My experience has been the way to learn a language is to start with simple things, printing "hello, world" is a common example. Then, add tasks one at a time, and in a few days, you will know a lot. There are programming books such as ... FOR DUMMIES that will help the complete newbie. |
