Going into Programming and choosing a language to program

As I am still a beginner, I can only write this based on the point of view of a beginner learning programming. When you want to get started on programming, one thing that would strike first will definitely be the language. Which language will be an ideal one to start with?

Most professionals out there believes that beginners should start with simple language such as Python. Well, to me, after getting expose to Python as well, I realize that there is no one simple programming language. Each of them seems to have there own structure, although some of their commands may be similar. The important thing when picking up a programming language, despite how simple others might think it is, will be your ability to understand the language and use the language to write a code that fits your needs. If you aim to be an Andriod mobile device programmer, and you believes that Java should be the first programming language you should be learning. Then, go ahead, don't let other comments and views affect your decision.

However, if we were to disregard one's goal, Python is definitely one of the best beginner programming language to begin with. Why would I claim that when I am just a beginner for programming? I had tried out various different programming language before I chose one to focus on. I realize that for Python, the general structure of the programming structure is generally less prone to careless mistakes. There are pretty much nothing to remember with regards to the structure but we will need to be more careful with regards to the indentation. However, for others, you may need to take note of the brackets, and semi colons and several variations in the structures as you switch from language to language.I guess that is one of the main reasons many had recommended Python to be the first programming language one should learn.

Yet, if you know your motivation and goal well, it will be better to start with the language that will help you achieve that. Well, it's just a thought.
