Where to get started?

Question

Hi there, my name is Kyle and I'm extremely new to the world of programming and developing although I hope to learn more with the help of kind people who will offer their assistance. Right now I have my sights set on creating a simple program to turn my second monitor as one color when I'm focusing on my main computer. Although I'm a long way out, I was curious if somebody could point me towards which programming language would be most helpful for app development, especially one as simple as mine. Thank you for all your help!

When I started programming (almost 20 years ago now) I found back then it was VB now would be probably vb.net or c#, since the frameworks are prebuilt and have very diverse and large support resources. As well, the IDE is very user friendly and easy to navigate for me. However, the language you choose should be closely related to what part of the stack you want to work with. If its hardware, or you want more granular control of the memory you want lower in the levels (C/C++) if its more on the user layer and you don't want to mess with all the memory and all the bits nd pieces, then you might want to choose the higher levels like .NET. In the end, it really depends on you trying out a few, gathering some samples, finding sources and then going with what suits your needs.
