What scripting language to start with?

<< < (2/2)

raynor009:
I recommend JavaScript, the syntax is much like C++ and it will help you a lot when you will learn it. If you don't want to read books I suggest you go over to codeacademy.com and learn from there. Trying to learn C++ right from the start is very difficult.

Ganado:
Python has the most simple syntax for the basic things of programming that are common to every language (loops, recursion, functions, variables, etc). It is scripting (being interpreted instead of compiled), so you wouldn't need to worry about a compiler, since it all comes in one easy package.

Angelscript is based off of C++, so I would look into C++ in this case. I guess I'm biased but I learned (well still learning, it's a messy language when you get past the basics) C++ first, and this book was nice, I had a physical copy but I found a pdf version of it: http://roneducate.weebly.com/uploads/6/2/3/8/6238184/c_for_everyone_2nd_edition_horstmann_wiley_plus_textbook.pdf
