Hello. I'm a newbie interested in programming and hacking. I know a little about both, but not very much. Can anyone help me learn the ways of both? All I need is some guidance. Thanx.

I don't know. Is there a language that all hackers should know? Thanx for replying.

well since you didnt read my post, and you apparently didnt read any of the files, I figure ill just tell you. C++, HTML, and Perl. If anybody has any others to add please feel free.

whats C++?....I WAS asked what it was and i was new at hacking and i could tell him.

C++ is perhaps the most commonly used programming language err ever...

If you didn't know that, go back to school (or stay there a lot longer, which is probably more likely the case)..

Give up any hope of ever being able to hack.. you're just going to land yourself in jail in about 10 minutes, that is, if you even manage to actually do anything.. which is unlikely.. this is friendly advice, from the posts I've seen, you just don't have the knowledge or the aptitude for it.

PERL and Python are good languagers for beginners, arnt they? They were the 1st ones I learned (apart from HTML, but thats simple...)

did you say perl is easy? damn maybe it is just me but perl kicked my ass, lol.
but yes python, html, c++, all good languages. perl is great and one of the strongest if not the strongest language out there.dont forget java.i dont recommend perl for begininers.

Yeah, I wouldn't go with Perl for a beginner either, specially considering the couple quirks it has that are non standard in programming languages (like special characters to define arrays, variables etc), that could easily fuck you up, if you got too used to it.. Better off learning something else, basic, Fortran were my first two, both of em easy and simple to learn.. I'd stay away from the Object Oriented programming languages till you get the basics

Yeah; you need to start with basic, or Qbasic. It's the bottom of the heap but it does nothing strange and does what the bigger lang's do only using a water pistol.
It's a good place to start.
Just do me a favour and never ever use *cough* Visual Basic *coughcough*.
