As an absolute noob who hasnt done Algebra in 4 years and isn't good at math what programming language can I learn and what book or site should I use?
I have a kindle if there's a good book.

Microsoft Small Basic.
>isn't good at math
McDonald's is hiring
Mathlets who can't solve the Makise Kurisu memes need to leave.
I need to know math well to learn programming?
Is that really a good one to learn? Seems like its pretty useless and I haven't heard of it.
If you don't want to be a code monkey, sure.
Well I'll try and if I suck ill just be an electrician or something. I just want to know where to start.
You only need basic arithmetic knowledge to be good at programming. Granted, if you want to develop vidya or other software that relies extensively on maths you'll need them, for any CRUDshit gig you'll be okay.
McDonald's is hiring all the math PhDs though, certainly can't be burger flipper when he didn't do any algebra for 4 years.
I would later on love to do games if I ended up being decent at it but that's for a later date.
Depends what you are programming. For most tasks nope at all. If you are programming things for which you need math then yes (eg. 3g programming).
Then you'll need maths fosho.
MS Small Basic is good for kids. It's easy and comfy.
Is it advanced math or just like high school algebra level?
I'm not a kid. I'd rather learn something useful.
You can learn pretty much any language that isn't extremely low-level without being good at math. Utilizing the language and it's full potential is where you will run until issues.
You could always try web dev also I guess
HS or even less.
t. guy who programs professionally and doesn't has finished HS.
Nice.
So what start with java or javascript, Python or something high level?
I'm a fullstack dev, so everyday I'm using C#, JS, SQL, and html/css.
I always recommend starting with C tho, really since it's a minimalistic language you can grasp the core concepts a lot easier, then you can move to the area you want to develop and learn the tools used there.
The little that I have read people were suggesting not starting with C. Isn't it much harder?
Nope, well, I used a pair of languages before using C, but that helped me to actually get a better understanding about programming (was when actually made "click" for me.)
Check this book: amazon.com
Don't listen to that retard, learning C as your first language is a dumb fucking idea. Learn a dynamic language like Python or Ruby while also learning CS fundies like Turing Machines, algorithms, and data structures.
I started with Java at 13, Software Engineer now without a degree. If I can start that young I imagine Java would be fine for you. Realistically C#, Objective C, or any OOP should be fine for you.
literally any of them. just google "your language of choice pdf".
So some C languages are easier than others? That book is all of them as an overview?
Python is very popular and an easier one right, I don't know anything about Ruby.
Ada
Technically yes, some C languages are procedural, some are OOP, some have manual memory management, some don't. OOP is the most common type of language used in business these days though. Manual memory management I think is a little more advanced than a newbie should try to tackle though.
Start with math, learn any programming language you're interested in.
Python is really easy to pick up, but is interpreted, so performance it thrown out the window...
>start with math
Pls no I don't want to read all that shit I just want to dabble and learn one thing to see if its worth it to continue.
Maybe do some math on khan academy you filthy weeaboo fuck
Is the math on computer science the hard shit or is it like HS math?
it's really hard desu senpai
Oh well fuck
/sci/ tier shit?
I'm scared because I'm not a genious wise 140IQ /sci/ boy and I had to study a tad bit for HS math
I guess I'll just take accounting instead.
