After thinking for about an hour on where to start learning programming, I decided on Perl. Visual programming languages just seemed a little to complex to start with and I didn't want to learn a language that I wasn't going to use (python). So I decided on Perl.

I found a few tutorials and whatnot and began experimenting. Not bad at all. The variables system is easy to figure out. My biggest trouble came from the elsif and while commands. But I worked through it.

For the longest time, I've dealt mainly with the hardware side of computers, actually, I'm only 15 right now but but since I was 10, I've worked with hardware and building computers. Though recently, I've taken an interest in programming and find it much more fascinating than hardware. I was reccomended java as a first language, well actually, I know quite a bit of html and a bit of javascript but I want to learn something other than web design languages. I think I'm going to try and learn Java,
