So, I have decided to stop learning C# for now, seeing as it will be a bit to complex for me to learn without any prior knowledge of programming. When I started learning C# is seemed okay... understood some of it, but as I kept learning it, it got more harder and couldn't understand much of it. This was mainly due to the lack of knowing basic programming principles. So I decided to learn a strong, yet easy to learn programming language.

So with C# set aside for the time being, the language I've chosen to be my first is the easy-to-learn programming language known as Python. As I started learning Python, I found it much more easier and understandable, as of now I've learned a few basic concepts of programming, like what variables are and what they are used for, then I learned Data-types such as integers, strings, and floating point numbers. So seeing as I'm literally learning the basics about Python right now, it looks like to me that I'm on the right track to becoming a Python game programmer.

I'll be posting my progress with Python in my blogs, so stay tuned for more updates.

For the last couple of days I've been trying to figure out what’s the best programming language to start with, it wasn't easy for me to choose since I didn't know which language would be best for beginners.

First I wanted to learn BASIC but then found out that the language wasn't as strong as other languages, nor is it used by strong engines like Unity or UDK. Then I tuned to C++, which was the language that my engine of choice (UDK) was using, so I went ahead and tried to learn it, and found out that C++ is more complex than other languages and not so suitable for a complete beginner like me.

So I did research and browsed some game development sites and found that C# was easier then C++ (which I didn't know) and that a strong engine like Unity uses the C#programming language which convinced me that C# was the language to learn in my view.

Although C# isn't as complex as C++ nor is it as easy as Python or BASIC, I feel that I’m intelligent and committed enough to learn C#, and have it be my first official programming language. So C# it is, Yes!
