What now?
Hey Happy smileman, It depends on what youre looking for, you could start at the begining and learn assembly code and work your way up, although if you want to get programming basics and learn relatively easy I would suggest Java, I found it a breeze. If you are looking for beneficial programming in relation to hacking I suppose c/VB would be a good place to start. Its worthwhile learning any or all of them but as you are begining I would suggest learning something that you will be able to easily work through and In my opinion java is one of the easiest. Whatever you choose , you can PM me with any questions, its tough at the start but when you get the hang of it you'll be hooked :)
Well assembly … i don't think its a good think to learn first when your starting application programming. I've try that and I didn't understand at all. I suggest VB to start because it's very easy and after c.
Also every language as it own particularity, so if you wish to create game c is definatly better but if you wish to do a simple application that look like a form VB is there for that.
