<p>If you’re looking to get into web development, you should definitely learn XHTML and CSS markup as well as PHP. They’re not real ‘programming’ languages in the traditional sense, but for web development it’s very easy to pick up and there’s widespread support for them.</p>
<p>Otherwise, Java is a good start, and after you get the hang of the structure of object-oriented programming you could try and get into C or C++. It takes a lot of work to really get good at programming and mainly it takes time and experience so don’t get frustrated in the beginning because it’s not so easy. Once you get the hang of it, you shuld definitely try and write some small apps with the guidance of a tutorial (the internet is full of them, try [Photoshop</a> Tutorials, Flash Tutorials and More! P2L Tutorial Search](<a href=“http://pixel2life.com%5DPhotoshop”>http://pixel2life.com)) and the more you do that the more interested you will be to continue (since you’re seeing the applications of what you’re doing) and the more you’ll actually learn and for me it was the quickest way I could learn. Simply looking at code of various applications and sites is a learning experience, even if you don’t understand all of it.</p>
