I just wanted to know if anyone has somegood advice on free guides or tutorials to learn the languages Python, Visual basic 6 and C++.
Also any books that are good for the begginer to that language.
I'm new to programming, although I did some at college in Visual Basic and loved it, I fell ill and missed the term.
Those three languages are the ones I wonna learn, one at a time with Python being my first.
If you have any good links to free guides or good books at such places as Amazon than please do tell.

Thanks.
 
I dont know much about python. But I have worked 5 years using VB and C++. I am currently using a language called C#(sharp), this is by far the easiest language to use but also an extremely powerful language (Compiles to Intermediate Assembly), you can do anything with C# (.NET Framework is the Future). I would suggest any SAM's book for the beginner, very easy to follow with tonnes of support material (The SAM's books are what I bought when first learning languages). The SAM's series covers pretty much all programming languages and applications.
 
Red, don't bother learning VB6, Learn the .NET framework, it's a Java killer ;)

C# Is a great one to learn.
 
Cheers, I have cleared my inbox it was full before.
What I'm going to do is learn Python first, I have a book already on order but this C# looks good for a future addition.
 
I'm starting to learn Python, no it isnt because BT is made with it.
I know Javascript,PHP,HTML and some java and perl but I aint any expert at them.
These will give me some insight into learning Python.
As a huge programming enthusiast I have decided to learn a language 'python' which is really going places and many companys wanting to use it.
Its all about the love of the modern computer age, thats why I wonna learn some languages.
 
.NET is the future, and C# Supercedes the likes of C and C++. PHP is a good language I like it's syntax, but ASP.NET is again, more powerfull. Visual basic now being a part of the .NET framework is now a good language to learn as C#, the only core differences being syntax!
.NET will also supercede Java, as a person once put it: ".NET = A Java Killer".
 
I wrote a DirectX 3D Engine in C++(Win32) about a year ago (Basically a Quake 2 style engine) and I rewrote it in C#(.NET), my framerate went from 98 fps (C++) to 83 fps (C#, 90 fps in unmanaged C#), this is amazing! My code in C# is much more cleaner and easier to read. Ever since this test I have not gone back to good ol' C++. If you did this stuff in Java using OpenGL you would be lucky to get 10 fps.
 
Yeah, I will deffo learn C# when I've finished doing Python.
Talked to a techguy at work today who knows like 10 languages, I almost shit myself cos I thought he knew like only 3 lol anyways he told me tha C# has all the good things from VB, C++, and JAVA, ts a hybrid.
Its very closely related to c/c++ and you can make the forms and interact with them just as easily as vb.
Also the sockets (using the tcplistner class) is just as easy as winsocks in vb.
He emailed me these sites that are good for ref# on the language

Remoting in .NET is so easy it is Sick. I remember all the wasted development hours I spent just getting remoting working for my C++ MFC application. I created a remoting app in C# in just under an hour.
