Hi there,
Hi Malte,
I´ve been a Linux user for many years, but I´ve not yet learned to code. I speak some Bash and have good general knowledge about x86 hardware, but that´s all. What would you recommend how to start learn programming? Would you start with a scripting language like Python or Perl or just with C/C++? Automating things or controlling apps with Perl/Python would already be a good thing.
What do you say?
I will recomend you to try Python. It's easy language and it has a lot of frameworks, that make this language very usefull: you can use it as a script language or, for example, for web development (Django and SQLAlchemy), or you can create GUI applications using, for example, Qt library. As a first/second language Python is great, but if you would like to understand how programms works you should look at C. As a result of its age and its use as the language of system programming for Unix/Linux, C has become something of the "lingua franca" of programming.
