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.

Sounds like someone doesn't appreciate all the hard work that goes into JavaScript

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.

And a great way to make someone bored and frustrated way before they get a chance to see the beauty they can create.
For me: scripting first so you get addicted early, then go deeper if necessary.

No, no, no! If you can't cope with the boring and frustrating stuff then you need to get into market or sales instead of programming. We only want hard-core, OCD programmers moving forward - not script kiddies!

we all start somewhere, to do do something!!!!

I would recommend something statically typed, but with a nice syntax (so no C-style languages, sorry). Perhaps Nim[^].

Does this really count as nice syntax?
import tables, strutils, algorithm
proc main() =
var
count = 0
anagrams = initTable<a href="">string, seq[string]</a>
for word in "unixdict.txt".lines():
var key = word
key.sort(cmp[char])
anagrams.mgetOrPut(key, newSeq<a href="">string</a>).add(word)
count = max(count, anagrams[key].len)
for _, v in anagrams:
if v.len == count:
v.join(" ").echo
main()
