1. Re: What Is Language Best For Newbie
BASIC is good for a newbie, but if you want to do more complicated things
later forget it. I think Euphoria is a great language for beginners and
flexible enough to be used for advanced programs as well. As for the
others... I don't know. I tried Qbasic... Yuk. I tried VB... a bit better,
but... I tried Euphoria... That's more like it! 
A perfect combination of
ease of use and ultimate flexability and speed.
