Blogger Carl Cheo, who maintains a website providing numbered lists of tips for maximizing online productivity, has pulled together an easy-to-follow graphic answering the newbie question "What programming language should I learn first?" (pdf here). Cheo chose nine commercially viable languages as possible destinations as the viewer navigates the flow chart. Further down the page, there are tabs with annotated links to educational resources for each language. So what's in it for Soylentils, most of whom I'm guessing were programming newbies in the previous millenium? Well, maybe you have nephews or nieces who chose the wrong major in college. Besides, the graphic is amusing and clever, though probably not the last word on the subject.

I hate JavaScript. It's a miserable language that should have been taken out and shot before it was born.
If JavaScript ever gets legitimate garbage garbage collection then 99% of the programs will delete themselves when executed.
/ I've gotten good in dozens of languages
// Javascript is the only one I actively hate
/// it's user hostile
