I've already programmed my calculator I know it's not much its a ti(Texas instruments)84
It is a kind of basic programming only you don't have to type the words they are in some kind of catalog.
I would like to learn how to program white a computer.
Does someone have any advise about what kind of programming I should start with,...

My computer runs with XP professional.
my dos version is v5.1 (qbasic doesn't work)Hey, I had the same question a while ago.
Have a look here and here.
Both of those topics may have some useful information for you.
Otherwise, you'll have to wait for someone else as I have no idea on programming.
But hopefully those two threads will help you a little.Most people kick off programming in something like BASIC (be it Visual Basic as people I know are learning in school (the .NET express version is free), QBasic (I think there's a free download online) or something else (I started on BBC Basic [The school was on a seriously tight budget when it came to IT])) or Pascal (though I haven't seen anyone use Pascal for a while).

A lot of people seem to be kicking up a fuss about Python (never tried it myself though).

Once you've selected a language, buy a book (on-line guides are mostly hopeless, but there are the odd good ones). You will find your book becomes well used and you will refer to it almost constantly.FIRST of all, ditch QBasic and DOS.

Visual Basic is good to get Windows applications quickly and simply and you can get the Express Edition free.

C++, C# or Java are more complicated but more powerful.

I suggest you try Visual Basic first. If you find it really easy, consider moving onto C++.This is purely my own opinions. With VB, its easy to program user interfaces and working with databases. However, its not so good if you want to learn programming. VB doesn't separate the user interfaces from the actual program itself,so to me, its considered BAD. A good programing language should also be portable across platforms, VB is not. I am a big fan of Python, so I am going to suggest OP give Python a try, as well as VB of course (other languages later). Ultimately, he will know which one suits him better. then on, he can proceed with other languages.Why is this stickied? Just wondering...I think I may have hit the sticky button by mistake. Fixed it. Find the right language for you try any language that makes you go "thats pretty cool i bet i can do that". And practice doing it JUMP in start somewhere think of things you would like to do sometimes languages are aplication based httml has ALOT of web aplications like settings for your web home page desighn basic is a common starting place for alot of programers but its what you want to do with your programing that matters. Are you a game makker or you want to be one which ever way you go you should start typing some codes. ccp will only get you so far lol:)). Vb studio and c++ express at microsoft as well as python ,Ruby ,freepacel, ant java are a few free languages.Also gamemaker has a free aplication. It's just important that you start experiencing programing yourself by doing it not just reading or cutting copying and pasting it this way you can decide if its really what you want,best regards.blo0d_ninja, I don't know what languages you have mastered, but it is clearly not English. Please don't write in one giant sentance. It is hard to read.Dude, calm down. It's a Ninja. I wouldn't mess with those. Done ,and done . Thanks for the advice. I was just trying to help .Thanks for the help I'll start with Batch files because I master some of the codes.
Is this a good idea ?I also tried Java but I can't find a righting module.
