I viewed all your tutorials about Ruby and found that they are very interesting. Could you give some more information about what is the best programming language to learn because I am freshman to computer programming.
Thank you.
I’m glad you liked the tutorials! (I think you liked them, does “found interesting” == like ?)
You asked: Could you give some more information about what is the best programming language to learn
After programming for a while, I’ve seen that question many times, and its like asking: “What is your favorite programming language?” Since programmers tend to tell people to learn what they like the most. So I’ll tell you Ruby! One of my friends will tell you GML. A teacher of mine will tell you C++.
A question I have for you would be: Why do you want to learn programming?
Do you want to make games?
Websites?
As a tool to help with math?
Image processing?
Automation?
Operating System development?
… the list goes on, and I may never guess your reasons
Programming languages are just tools, a means to a end. If you have never programmed before, it’s good to start with an easy to understand programming language. I find Ruby to be both easy and powerful, and it cuts some of the crap languages like C++ have. That’s why I use Ruby, but you may not like Ruby or it may not be suited for your needs. Many languages are better for certain tasks. There are some things I *can* do in Ruby, but won’t because there is something better suited to what I want to do.
So with all that, I will end with the question: Why do you want to learn programming?
