I want to learn how to program, I got lots of time to learn. Which language is good but easy to learn ?
good languages -> difficult to learn
bad languages -> easy to learn
Thats generally for most things, the more work it effectively consumes to better the result is. I'd advice C and later on C++. C is fast, flexible and stable, but isn't very easy to learn. I'd rather put my time in good languages than bad languages, even if it takes more time ;)
How about Visual Basics ? I tried learning C++ a few months ago and it was really complicated. I only know basics of it. I want to learn easier languages before I move on to the harder ones.Quote:

Hmm, darn. I don't want that to happen. I guess I'll learn C then work my self up to C++Quote:

C is for the real programmers, atleast to start with. When you know it you can use libraries/languages (LUA, SDL, ...) within C for extra speciality and efficiency.
Check the [Resources] sticky of this section ;), has some nice tutorials.
