i'm trying to start off with C and perl (which isn't supposedly a programming languag), but some people reckon you should start straight off using an object based one like C++ or Java.

Ok. Most people say, that if you want to go object-orientated (C, C++, whatever), you should follow this direction: (I'm trying to, but it's hard)

 - HTML (already there !)
 - Python (one step up, if you came from the (horrible) Basic side like me, you'll understand this too)
 - C, C++, whatever

Give it a try ...

I took a dive directly to C++. When I feel like a dumbass I do some HTML to build my ego and then I go back to C++.

<Irony> Start with Malborge. Learn programming the way it should be: Insanely Hard (w/ capitals)!
Or go for simplicity and learn Brainfuck! Why learn C if there's a program that can do exactly the same with only 8 instructions? </irony>

You can't learn GUI programming in one go, forget it. As other people stated, start with Python or Perl, then go to command-line C/C++ programming, then learn to use QT/GTK interfaces. You need to know how to program before you can build graphical programs, and command-line is much simpeler to learn.

X11: as good as PHP may be, it's just a scripting language. Now, so is python, but python rocks more    and both are worse than a compilable language such as C for most purposes.

You wrote a scripting language? Cool. What are the specs? Any interpreters available?

If you want to start programming quick and dirty you should try learning Visual Basic or Delphi(much better), its fun and easy to make new apps. I have to say that Visual Basic its not an Object Oriented language since you cant take advantage of polymorphism and its made by MicroSucks.

I prefer C++ or Java since they are O-O, but they take a lot of time to master.

You mention you wanted to make a chat program, its not as easy as it sounds. Do you know anything about socket programming?

The only thing that kicks my ego down to shit in C is strings and pointers.  I get along a lot better with strings and pointers in assembly than I do in C.  It's so simple in assembly.  Not to mention the fact that all data is treated equally in assembly.  Even code is data (just don't forget to flip the code/data identifier bit in the seg reg).  I really need to brush up on assembly.  It's been so long...

So i do some bash/light perl scripting for an ego boost.  I'd really love to do TCL/TK -- especially since mod_dtcl is out for apache.
