    Since I finally finished college, I now have a surplus of free time on my hands. I've always wanted to learn some basic programming, so I was hoping to start learning some now. I haven't really got an idea where to start. (are there some good books/websites, which language to start with?)

    Any advice would be appreciated thanks

    First, Basic is a very outdated language...even visual basic is old.

    The first step in programming is to decide what you want to program for...this will determine the language you need to learn.

    Once you find the language you want, you can usually find a lot of good info for free online, but a "For Dummies" book can be a lot easier to use.

    there is a stanford java class recorded and put on youtube that is for beginners and very good

    they also have a website where you can download them but i forgot what the url is

    just search stanford java on youtube and then i belive they have the link to the site in the description =]

    i also think they have a c++ class but i'm not positive.
