- Nobody can tell you which is the best language to program in.
- And part of the fun is comparing the way of programming something
- in different languages. Though nowadays I program mostly in C,
- I had great fun with Basic, Pascal and Forth, even with Fortran,
- thanks to the beautiful books by Kernighan (Elements of Programming
- Style, for instance). I suggest you start with QBasic and C. You will
- be able to do interesting things with QBasic almost from the start.
- When your C catch up, you'll be able to recognize the advantages it
- offers to you, relatively to QBasic. By the way, one of the great
- things about learning C is the famous Kernighan, Ritchie book,
- "The C Programming Language", which not only teaches you the
- language, but also the discipline of programming.
