Default Programming in Linux

I'm thinking about using Linux for a project I'm doing at the moment, but I don't know much about the programming aspect of it. Is it easy enough to code for using the standard languages?

I doubt anything similar and as easy to use a Visual Basic exists for it, but if it does that would be able to handle the project without a problem!

linux is simply made for those who want to dabble with languages

one language is much the same as another, C++ is great for some things but my advice would be to start with a language that umm does something interesting right out the box,, something like PHP - install apache on your linux pick up the php manual http://www.php.net/docs.php and off you go, you can make a simple web counter for instance,. there's loads of php scripts round the 'net for free to pull code from

This thread is worth of resurrection

You can program in soooooo many languages it will make your head spin....... and NO need to buy anything to do it Thats the beauty part

http://www.usalug.org/phpBB2/index.php?c=3

Some of the languages you can program include:

Bash (and several OTHER shell scripting languages)
Awk & Sed
Perl
Python
PhP
Ruby
Java
C
C++

and that's not all of them Compilers are usually already installed by default for c and c++ , and downloading and installing compilers for java and others is relatively painless. If you ever wanted to learn programming.... Linux makes it easy to get started
