I am thinking about seriously learning programming to wreak some havoc later on ):D. Just kidding. Anyway, what are some well-functioning and beginner-friendly programming language to learn?

Answer by BrennenHTML (Hyper Text Mark-up Language…) i think that’s what it’s called. It is how you make a webpage. That programming language is a really easy one to learn.
A second language is up to you.

If u just want a language u could learn fast, I’d suggest Visual Basic. IMHO, however, I don’t think VB is a good language, for several different reasons beyond the scope of this question.
Java, on the other hand, is pretty good overall. However is is far more complex than VB. It does have, however, enormous amounts of material web-wide, including official Oracle (previous Sun) material.
C++ is a pretty powerful language, lots of commercial programs/games are made in C++, however it is a the hardest one to learn from the 3 languages metioned earlier.
About mastering a language, programming is like playing an instrument, u can never truly master. You are always learning, always improving.
And if u are serious about programming, just focus on one language. It is a lot better if u just focus on one, and learn to actually make good stuff in it, rather than learning bits of several languages, neve being able to come up with anything nice. Eventually u will run into something u’ll need to learn next, the complete what u knew previously. It will probably be SQL…
