    Questions in the title, I'm wanting to learn a coding language and looked at starting C or C++ a while ago before some courses I had to go on. I was pointed in the direction of C/C++ that's why I thought about it.

    I've started with Python. I would start with that as it makes great programming practice. Then go for C or C++.

    Yeah, Python is easy and can be learned in a small amount of time compared to other languages.

    I've only coded in C. But I know C was before C++ and C++ is basically C with more features and syntax. C is more powerful though.

    Ahhh quick to learn is a major + for me

    Thanks for clearing that up, have you got any ebooks on Python you'd recommend?

    Actually, here is a book that helped me: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=I2AWO35Y

    It's called 'beginning python'. Plus, like any programmer will tell you, you need to read 2-4 books before you will truly understand the language.
