Introduction to Programming via Pascal
So, you want to be a computer programmer. Where do you start? There are a myriad of programming languages and technologies, each with different strengths and weaknesses, and each suitable to a subset of tasks. As it turns out, there is even a programming language designed for the purpose of teaching the concept of programming: Pascal. In my opinion, if you are serious about learning to program, Pascal is an excellent place to start. It will not be the shortest path to being a productive programmer, but it will be the least confusing way to begin your journey to a deep and thorough understanding of programming. Take my advice, and learn Pascal.
