Hey, future programmers! Why not learn some Batch programming?

You can code Batch like this:

@echo off
echo Hello, World!
pause
echo What's your name?
set /p name=>
echo So your name is...
echo %name%
echo ...eh?
pause
echo Nice to meet you!
echo Goodbye!
pause

Yes, that was one of those Batch files.
You can learn about Batch files here!

So, start programming in Batch right now!

Batch is alright
I remember this program from long ago that allowed me to create Batch files or something like that, I think it was made by Microsoft… I don't remember the name though

Command Prompt? Notepad?

No, that's not it…
It was on Windows Vista I think

What about Stackoverflow (I use that for searching specific things that people already wanted to know)?

Stackoverflow is excellent in my opinion. Basically every question that you could ever think of has been answered on there.

However, one of my questions has not been answered after over 3 years, and the very strange problem remains despite attempts at implementing it several ways.

Someone please answer it.

Python 3 is weird because it changes how Python 2 works, and Python 2 is weird because of how it works.

xD You're not the first one to say that Python 2 is better than Python 3.. Occasionally posts are flung around on the weirdness of 3 and the quirkiness of 2. Or more specifically, 2.7 and 3.4.

PREHISTORIC CODING DINOSAURS!!! YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT CODING!!! PYTHON 3 IS THE FUTURE!!!
Please don't ban me for that.
Also, what about Python 3.5?

Nah, I think the future is Python 0.26 Alpha
there's no such thing as that right

I started with Python Its relatively easy to learn. You probably won't benefit much code for video games, if that's what you're looking to make, so in that case, I'd say some Java is the way to go.

Edit: wait there's 5 pages XD

I find that games written in Python and Java use way more resources than they should. If you want to write blazingly fast and efficient programs and games, you should learn C++ (trust me, it's actually easier than Java).

Who said C++ was hard to learn? Please stop it with the “C is hard to learn” stigma. It's easy to learn, given you know basics of programming, just difficult to master.

Alright, you can believe in that while I say it is hard for beginners who have never typed a single line of code before, but only drag and drop coding. I never said it was hard for people to learn

No, Scratchers should be able to learn the basics of C fine

eh, I guess it depends on what you're using C for…
I use C++ for machine code and such

I prefer JavaScript. I taught myself with this website.

Codecadamy or Khan Academy

W3Schools is not the ideal place to learn Web technologies, because it often spreads less than ideal information (see w3fools). Try Mozilla Developer Network. It's much better.

It really depends WHAT you want to learn in coding. If you want to learn SYTAX, Codecademy. What sites like Codecademy lack is the ability to teach the ideas BEHIND what you are doing (in my opinion). That is an obstacle you must face all on your own

It is like driving. You can read about the rules all you want, but the only way to master it is from years of experience

C++ is far from direct Machine Language (it compiles to machine language, but that really isn't important). Assembly Language is machine code, not C++.

C and Assembly are intertwined awkwardly, STDOUT, 0x80, and other such stuffs, but C++ is not really involved there.
