In the interests of making the advice more appropriate to the modern day than the 1970s, though, I wonder if Pascal and Dartmouth BASIC ought to be replaced by Ruby and Python? Even though my first language was BASIC, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone today. Fortunately, there are far better languages available now, from which one can learn much more, far more quickly, and without developing bad habits. | |
