I would direct my attention at Java to get a grasp of successful imperative programming languages. Most others are but a small step from that platform.

Parallell to that, see if you can get a grip on one of the functional languages. Look at something like Haskell or ML.

For pure practicality, though not a personal favourite, Python is probably quite useful.

I give a vote to Python.

C/C++ is one of the best languages IMHO, which then allows you to easily transition to other languages. But it is complicated, it has more nuances that you don't (and should) not care about.


Python is higher level, it just gets shieeet done faster with less hassle.

It's not very fashionable. It has other faults but I think that's the main one. More seriously it makes the bits of programming that are easy, easy, and the bits of programming that are difficult, impossible. I suspect many theorists would say the same for Matlab.

There are many MOOCs on Python. It depends what you are interested in. https://www.coursera.org/learn/python might get you going, it's probably a bit obvious.

i did http://openedx.seas.gwu.edu/courses/GW/ ... fall/about as it was a bit more in my field of interest

I started with codeacademy. If you know how to code it will be quite easy, then you can move on.

I believe that it's best to learn programming by doing, and googling or reading when you want to learn something.

Codeacademy is great to learn syntax, but it won't teach you how to "think" in a programming language. I'd advise you to start off with writing simple programs like calculator etc.

Java is straightforward and easy application language to start with.

If you want to get really up with the times I'd suggest looking into Google's GO language as it might become a standard soon. Based mostly off C
