You've heard quite a few recommendations about C. And I agree with that. But I think Pascal is somewhat easier language to start with. It's based on my teaching experience of people who had absolutely no programming experience. IMHO taking C next will be less painful. You know, you can almost read Pascal program like a sentences from the book (well to a certain extent of course), it's less likely with C. Turbo Pascal is very good programming environment, especially build-in help. (I still use Turbo Pascal 6 for DOS). Free Pascal is a Linux version which is very close to Turbo Pascal as a compiler. http://www.brain.uni-freiburg.de/~klaus/fpc/ And don't write window manager. Write some fun games where bad guys are chasing you on the screen. You'll learn a lot. Sasha.
