How long to learn a programming language?

<p>I’d suggest you to start with C or C++. C/C++ is the most widely used and the most basic of all programming languages and is very very useful.
That being said, once you learn any programming language and understand how things(i mean syntax,codes, and stuffs) in programming languages work, it wont be tough for you to learn a new language.</p>

<p>I’m a high school graduate and will be attending a college this coming fall for Mechanical Engineering and I’ve already completed learning C and C++. And currently I’m learning MATLAB.</p>

<p>You might find a programming language a little difficult in the beginning but as time passes, you will find it rather interesting.</p>

<p>Gud luck!</p>
