Good starter programming language?
I've got a friend who wants to learn some computer programming, to make things like games. Does anyone have a suggestion? A language that's easy to do simple stuff with, and maybe some medium stuff would be nice.

I would recommend first trying BASIC. there is a book called Beginning Programming For Dummies in Liberty Basic which teaches you all of the basic stuff. Then I would recommend moving onto an object oriented language such as JAVA (I think that Dummies also has a book on this) or move onto C and/or C++.

If your friend is just starting with programming, he should use Alice; this isn't really a language but more of a program made for beginners in programming, for it lets you make simple games, video clips (animated), etc.
Details are at www.alice.org.

In my opnion definetly try out Visual Basic. Im only 14 but i started programming around 11. I started with Visual Basic 6 and i would make legit hacks for a game called WarRock. I was impressed i never thought i could actually create hacks for a real First Person Shooter game. Its alot of fun and after learning Visual Basic you can probablly move on to harder things such as C+ and C#, also used for making game hacks. Its alot of fun and you can make a lot of programs using visual basic. You can get Visual Basic 2008 full trial for free im pretty sure.
