Easiest programming language to learn? - The Pok?Community ...

I would recommend "C", personally... It may look intimidating, there there is literally only 32 keywords in the entire language. Everything else is structure, flow, and external APIs (Which is where you get most of your functions from, but don't worry! They are well documented.) It's dead simple for a programming language, and it's freaking powerful!

As weird as it may sound, I recommend learning in a virtual machine... A Linux virtual machine... Why? Because the documentation for C is built right into it! Mostly, they also happen to conveniently come with a compiler (gcc) so you don't really need to set anything up... That's a big step ahead..!

First try to learn how the language is structured, and after you get the hang of that, just dive in to the standard libraries. (Libraries are things that give you commands to use, and you access them by with an "#include" directive.)

When you get a grasp of the standard libraries, feel free to check out any API you want..! (I recommend SDL, since it is well documented, and happens to be cross-platform)

I haven't used it, but I hear that this is a good tutorial for the language..!

Also, it is dead simple to learn C++ after you have a grasp on C... And most major software is written in C or C++. So it would be very useful to learn.
