Absolutely!
There was a thread recently regarding using BASIC to teach programming, as it removes the emphasis on visual and keeps it on solving the problem. Given the list in this survey, I chose C as the best for that -- and besides, once someone knows C, they can easily pick up most mainstream programming languages.

Actually, I think you need both. Obviously, problem solving is essential for development, but even the best problem solvers would require a set of tools (or people who have / use these tools) to actually solve the problem then.
The best University / bootcamp programs I know teach both. They have classes dedicated to tools / frameworks (languages being among them) and classes for theoretical constructs / problem solving.

If the knowledge of the subject about programming is [Null] => Small Basic from MIcrosoft is a very good way to start, because its simplicity, the IDE is nice and it is scalable using libraries.
For a person who wants to work seriously in developing software, C is a good departure (better if starts reading "The C Programming Language, D. Ritchie") for the knoledge he/she can have about the internal guts of the machine. After that, unless he/she wants to make IoT, C# is a very good one.

Ah yes, the Depends language:
Provide Maximum Daytime & Overnight Protection
Maximum Protection
Trusted Protection
Unbeatable Protection
Always keep me secure
Sounds like a language designed for security first!

Indeed!
Adjustable - Agile?
Discreet - Obfuscated?
Absorbent - Feature creep?
Wetness Indicator - Let's me know when they're full of sh*t?
Hmm sounds like my last job!

There has got to be an April Fool's Day article in there somewhere.

It's basically markup languages that will help you learn JavaScript. Then from there jump to C#.

I am not sure how learning JavaScript would prepare you for learning C#.
|
|

I didn't say JavaScript would prepare you for C#, but using an easy language like HTML/CSS/JavaScript would introduce you to design as well as programming.

I am not sure, javascript can help learning anything (including programming)...

I did learn FORTRAN using punch cards during my first year of university...

So did I - but only after they forced COBOL on us ...

In college, I learned PL/1 using punch cards and batch processing. In fact, my senior project was written in PL/1.
After college, I never used that language again.

It's no joke, youngster. The programming classes in my first two years of college were run on a mainframe. Input was via punch cards and output a line printer.
