Go for C/C++ and assembler. Everything is bloated (needs some runtime shit/whatever), slow or just fails.

Thanks for advice

but for now im start slow..like java

but quesiton with no flaming

which is the best tutorial to start first

Once you learn the basics of java, move onto C# which uses roughly the same syntax as java, different framework/runtime library though.

Well written Pascal rivals C++ for speed, I'd say, only if the application is REALLY intensive would the differences show, and that doesn't need a runtime etc.

Why do people keep playing down a language because its slow and bloated? He wants to learn the FUNDAMENTALS of programming, basic algorithms and how you actually do stuff in a sequencial way .

Hes not trying to make a super leet program, hes trying to learn the basics. Its rare to have someone just jump straight into c++ and begin doing a GUI using pointers and properly doing memory allocation.

TBH if you dont know anything about loops, arrays, variable types and what not your going to have one bitch of a time with c++

I tried to teach myself 3 times with C++ and failed three times because I knew none of those topics.

I can now manage C++ but I would prefer not to write in it.

PHP then.

Most tutorials for C++ demonstrate all those topics in very simplistic terms.

That would be answered best by the college you attend, best answered also by a CS major as well or a counselor from your school/college.

Sorry for long bump, some java programmers I was talking to was saying start slow write up some small scripts and batch and wel start off small, while others say jump right into (which I will in summer time no time for it now)

well let me ask this, is it kind alike school, where you can start of small but dont matter cause its all new? what I mean is even if i do write and learn small crap that lets say is nothing like lets say c++ but it gives me the feel of learning it just how moving a fake ps2 steering wheel gives u a feel of driving even tho its nothing related to real driving

Do you want to see what the homework assignments were like in my Web Based Control interfaces course? A portion of it was teaching Java (a language I had never used before).
