I would love to learn how to script and program and...yeah.
So, what is the best scripting language to start off with?

I have no experience whatsoever.

Why not just learn Lua first?

It depends. If you want to learn Java or C/C#/C++ before anything else, learn JavaScript. If you just want to learn the MECHANICS of programming (problem solving, developing algorithms) and do NOT want to learn Java or any variant of C, learn Lua or VBScript. I suggest Lua because of the major support it has on this forum.

I started with Lua, but the tutorials you can find for it aren't that great. Javascript is quite simple, but Lua is also a great place to start.

for web developement I'd say HTML since it's very stable and easy :p
for game designing I'd say either Java or Lua. Lua has great support on these forums :P
DON'T START OFF WITH C OR ASSEMBLY OR OTHER LANGUAGES WITH HARD SYNTAXIS!

If u want just to learn, take Lua, cause it's here, and free, and take a free Basic Programming course from the Net, 'cause they don't really have that here.
