So your interested in programming huh? Wanting to know how programs on your computers, the games on your video game consoles, or even how the bank atm works? First of all i should tell you programming isn't for everyone. Programming is a constant learning process, You will spend hours of your time writing code, debugging and compiling trying to find any bugs or errors in your application.

If your still reading and haven't been scared away the next question is what programming language is for you? There are so many out there but which one is right for you? It all depends on what applications you want to create and what operating system it will be on. The easiest to start off with is visual basic 6 which is on the Windows platform, but others might disagree. Everyone has their favorite. C/C++ is a powerful language that will work on multiple operating systems such as Windows and Linux. Microsoft offers free express compilers for VB.NET and C# which use the Microsoft Dot NET platform.Here at Hexes World we use VB6(Visual Basic 6), C/C++, and C#. You can make the same kind of programs in all of those languages but they work different when coding.

Here are some sample codes from each language:

Visual Basic 6

CODE

Private Sub Form_Load()
' This is a comment, Comments are not read by the compiler
MsgBox "Hello World", VbInformation
Unload Me
End Sub

C/C++

CODE

#include<iostream>

// This is a comment

int main()
{
std::cout << "Hello World\n";
return 0;
}

CODE

// C# Comment
using System;

class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");
}
}

VB.NET

CODE

' Visual Basic.NET Hello, World!
Module Module1

Sub Main()
Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!")
End Sub

End Module

Java

CODE

// Java Hello, World!
class HelloWorldApp
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println("Hello, World!");
}
}

Some languages are easier to understand then others but it might all just look like chinese unless you understand how programming works.

Microsoft Developers Network provides you with the compilers you need for C++, VB.Net, C# and the documentation for you to learn and advance yourself in the programming world.

Microsoft Developers Network

Game Dev - is a good site if your wanting to learn the basics and up on game programming.

Darren Group: HW Staff Posts: 31 Member No.: 9 Joined: 20-December 07	Nice, i could never get assembly down. I can't add html, php, css, or other scripting languages because they are scripting languages not programming languages. --------------------
