I don't think taht you told clearily what you need... If i get it right, you want to learn some good programming language. And it should be flexible, and have lots of features...My choice, and advice is to learn Delphi:- it is flexible- is has a lot of features, through VCL components, and there are thousands of them on the web! You can even create your own ones- it has access to databases- and something important for me - there is a Delphi for Linux! Kylix! I only tried this with simple programs, but you can exchange your projects beetwen Kylix and Delphi.What is still important, Delphi is easy to learn, and you can easyli learn all techniques used in programming.Hope that was helpful.

Honestly, like anyway, I am biased... I personally feel that C/C++ would be a better starting ground for learning programming.


You did say TI calculators, so I assume you're experienced in the TI-BASIC that's able to be written on the calculators, so just about any language will be a big step from that, both in syntax and complexity. (I was one hardcore TI-BASIC programmer too... ;))


Basically, you're never going to find an "easy" language to program in, simply beacuse programming languages are merely an attempt to communicate with a machine that understands 0s and 1s in a way that humans can still understand... though, high-level languages haven't done too bad a job at that...


If you want flexibility in the future, you'd really be better off learning C/C++. Mainly because:


A. They're the most popular.... and...

B. There are far more resources available, both in terms of learning and in terms of tools for programming in.


Here (the best site) and here both have excellent resources for learning a language, no matter the choice you make.


If you do decide to go ahead with C++, and don't want to pay money for software, Dev-C++ is an excellent tool for programming in C++, and comes with everything you'll need to get started. This is made by bloodshed and you can find this at this site.


Good luck.


EDIT: Another thing... if you're interested in using it for gaming, C++ is a definate... mainly because that's what a huge proportion of the big games are actually written in. NWN even allows you to use C++ for creating new modules, I understand... ;) ... haven't gotten around to looking at that yet, though.
