I realize this might be a hard question but > which one is the best for a beginner but could be used for more > complicated things later, and why? > I myself started in DECB (Disk-Extended Color BASIC) on my dads' CoCo3 at about 5-7 years old, and I used this for awhile until I hit a wall - I wanted to program useful stuff like my dad, except he used Basic09, something that resembled a mix of basic and C, or something, I'd have to take a look at his Solitaire source code again. Unfortunatly, at 7 years old, all the concentration I had was enough to make pretty ASCII pictures :) So, the next time I took on a language was at about 14 years old, when I took on Euphoria. I never mastered it yet (i'm almost 16 now), but after almost 2 years I have the hang of it now. But... Why do things choke on hWnd handles? grr... I hate windows... So yeah, Euphoria, IMO, is a great place to start, and to advance in :) And if you have C experience, its all the better :) --"LEVIATHAN"
