Hello,
I just want to say that I started programing and that I don't have any experience. How is it best to start. Is it best to start with the besic programs like QBasic and then work on up to Java and Visual Basic and Visual C++.
How have most of you programers started your programing?

I started with Basic. However I'm not sure if I agree with starting with Basic right now. First of all, there are big differences between Basic and Java/C++. The current paradigm is Object Orented Programing, Basic is 100% procedural. I am going to suggest Java to start with for a few reasons. First off, I wrote an article about it. And Secondly, I said this in the article as well, but there is a centeral information source for Java, which is incredibly useful when you are just starting out. Here is the link to the article:

Introduction to Java

Good luck, and please rate this resource and post comments on how it can be improved, or what else you would like to see as far as Java, or introductory programing in other languages goes.
