I'd say Java. Very easy & fast. Of course, assembly is fast. I find C++ much easier than C as well. Oh and visual basic too. Easier than HTML!  :alien:

C++, I find it easier than Java. More powerful as well. |

XML and HTML aren't even programming languages, they are markup languages that involve no 'programming.' But if you're going to include them, obviously they are the easiest. Since neither XML nor HTML involve communication with a server, and in fact are focussed on a very narrow function--providing data to a browser--they are simple to learn and apply. I voted for PHP. Unlike languages such as Java and C++, it is more loosely typed and thus is easier for users to learn. Another arguable benefit is that PHP does not need to be compiled, once one finishes coding a PHP script, it can run without compilation. This advantage is not as large now that it is getting easier to find IDEs for Java and C++. Also, learning a loosely typed language might not be the best course of action. I learned PHP before C++, but it is a bit of a shock going to a much stricter language.

Except Java is much more widely used than PHP or C++. (PHP is used in mostly *Forums* only) And Java is faster than PHP. Why worry about compilation? It's a part of the process. Unless you're too lazy...  And technically, HTML is programming...well in a certain sense. |

PHP has a quite extensive user basis now. It is not used only in forums, it is slowly replacing older languages such as Perl (which still has its uses, although I prefer PHP) in server-side processing, which is PHP's primary function. Google and Wikipedia  both use PHP to meet their needs. In my experience, I encounter a lot less websites serving JSP content than I do PHP content, most of my encounters with Java are applets.  I don't know which language is faster, but I don't think this would affect the difficulty in learning a language . . . any simple code by a new user of the language will be fast regardless of whether they are using PHP or Java. I don't think compilation is particularly difficult, but it can be a daunting task for those new to coding, especially those nice errors one can get if the compilation fails. The increasing abundance of IDEs is helping alleviate the difficulties associated with compiling a program, but skipping the entire step is just as good. In my opinion, there's no question that Java wins when it comes to OOP support. I've not much experience with OOP, but the OOP for PHP 4 is not as extensive as Java, which of course is an OOP language. PHP 5 is getting better at this. Learning an OOP language depends a lot on the user, however. I find it slightly more difficult to program OOP languages, but I'm gradually getting over this. I'm sure that many people find OOP to be easy for them. There is also the question of purpose to bring this poll into focus. I firmly believe that PHP is superior to Java in website applications, whereas Java would be superior to PHP in command-line programs (even though PHP is designed for command-line processing, it is more widely used as a web application). Thus, if a coder was interested in applying their programs to a website, unless they were specifically coding a Java applet for a website, I would suggest they choose amongst such languages as Python, Perl, ASP, and PHP. If they wanted to make cool games, C++, Java, Visual Basic, etc. would be a better choice. |

PHP is a snap. Just takes the effort of doing it. I'm still learning, which is why I'm always asking questions. I'm getting ahead of my skills in programming and am trying to catch up with my knowledge of PHP. lol. |

True. The main function for it is for web design, cannot make any scripts or programs with it. B) |

I vote for Visual Basic as this is the very first language I started for computer programming. Although HTML is easier than Visual Basic, I find that it cannot make objects movement or transformation. |
