RE: which language for programming

[Ed Ardzinski]

I am a programmer so I'll give a few comments...

Very well and admirable.  Programming is nothing mysterious.  Juat a 
rigorous application of logic.  IMO creating a computer program is not all 
that much different from writing a piece of music.

This is somewhat of a problem.  You can get tutorial books, but unless you 
have something in mind that you want to do the tutorial books can become 
dead ends.

If Lilypond is written in C++ (and I do see some hints of C type syntax when 
I use Lilypond) this *might* be a factor to consider.  But... C and C++ are 
fairly complex languages and have steep learning curves.  If you an abject 
beginner with programming I suggest starting out with Visual Basic and 
concentrating on trying to develop good programming practices.  That will 
make a switch to a more difficult language easier.

Good luck!
