Hello all!

First of all I want to tell you that I've tried C(#/++) and I could not learn it well.
I've learned myself PHP, MySQL, GML, ASP, HTML, XHTML, DHTML, Java, Flash, CoolBasic, DarkBASIC, C64 Basic and some Pascal. All that have been a big pain for me. The C seems to be more bigger pain than all those together. So I need to use some "level" or "stage", I mean I have to learn other language before jumping to C. What language should I use? I've really tried C, but perhaps my IQ does not fill in the requirements because I'm 7½ years old boy.
I'd like to know a good and powerful, but not that hard language. What about pascal and delphi?

PS. I'm going to make (a) program(s), not games...

EDIT: One of the hardest thing in learning programming language is that i'm not good in English. I've borned in Finland. And I do not have so much money for Prog. books. And I live in countryside, so here are no books!

wow, thats a lot of languages :).

I would suggest either pascal/delphi, pascal/lazarus (http://www.freepascal.org) or visual basic, as they'r closer to a spoken language. I don't think you will have any problems learning them as you know so many programming languages. And I think you have an advantage in that you speak both Finnish and English (actually quite well), so learning any language, either programming or spoken will be easy for you :thumbsup:.

You might want to practice the programming languages you already know, by solving problems for your friends and family.

I suggest you learn about how a computer works. I'm not being derisive - being familiar with an operating system does not at all constitute knowledge on how a computer works. If you can't get a book on computer architecture, then google for tutorials. Learning about computer architecture will really ease your adventures into C/C++ and other low-level languages.
