To code, it is not necessary that you should be a professional. The given article emphasizes so as it lists and describes 4 easiest programming languages. These languages will help beginners a lot, lets check them out!
BASIC
The Beginner’s All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code is the premier language for students at the age of 8 or so. It is the base of many common programming languages today. The language includes some easy-to-learn functions and its syntax is also very simple. There are no symbols needed at the end of each line which further simplifies its use. A nice educational language that can be easily extended in functionality. Here’s some simple BASIC code
CLS
INPUT "Enter your name: ", Name$
IF Name$="Mike" THEN
PRINT "Go Away!"
ELSE
PRINT "Hello, "; Name$; ". How are you today?"
END IF
Even a child can understand what it wants to say!

Lua
Lua is a popular programming language. It’s fast, lightweight, and can be easily embedded. It has a very easy to use syntax and can be implemented into anything. It’s a popular, fast, easy to use and implement programming language. But don’t underestimate it. It can be used for complicated programs too, including games.
A simple Lua code
A = {}
function A:add(x,y)
return x+y
end
print( A:add(1,2) )
Simple, ain’t it?
Visual Basic
This is a programming language used with Microsoft Visual Studio, which is very popular among beginners. Visual Studio is used to create professional programs easily and with a widely used framework. It also comes with a wide range of tools to create prototypes of applications very quickly. It can be easily used to make GUIs too and gives satisfactory results to newbies. Yet another sample program:-
Module Hello
Sub Main()
MsgBox("Hello, World!") ' Display message on computer screen.
End Sub
End Module
Python
Another Object-Oriented Programming Language. It runs on almost every computer. It also includes a development environment. It is cross platform, fast and very powerful. Runs on Windows, Mac, Linux….
Python is mostly used in Web, Networking, Software, and Game Development. It is really easy to learn and just gets the job done! Now take a look at this:-
print "Hello, World!"
Its done!!
These five languages ensure that even if you’re a newbie at computers, you’ll not be discarded! Have fun!
Hey.. Can you suggest me a book or online tutorial for Python?

I would include Game Maker Language
Examples
global.username= get_string(“What is your name?”,”NAME”)
if global.username=mike
{
show_message(“Go Away!”)
}
else
show message(“Hello ” + string(global.username) + “!”)
Well it might have been a great one if it really had been some programming language. It really is simple to learn and that’s the reason why GameMaker is so popular. Thanks for the recommendation bro. Will try to update soon. Keep Visiting!
I think the easiest language to learn is Hypercard and its derivatives…check out LiveCode (http://www.runrev.com/products/livecode/introducing-livecode-5-/)
Although I really agree with you but Hypercard doesn’t have any good support online and also IDEs are crippled. I’d never tried LiveCode…Thanks for telling
Keep Visiting
Cheers

Livecode is trying to go open source, dual license. (gpl3) Not sure if the kickstart is going to succeed but I’m hoping.

Nice recommendation bro! Might come up with an article soon..
It took my 8 year old son about 15 minutes to get the basics of it.
What constitutes a dead language? Lack of instructional material! Everything on that list beside LUA has zilch in the way of working tutorials. That or the fact that Visual Studio and Java have practically replaced everything.

In 33 years of programming, I’ve never seen anything easier than REBOL. I put together a pile of working application examples of all types, most with GUIs, that are 5 to 10 lines of code, at http://easiestprogramminglanguage.com. If you liked Raven, here’s a quick response – REBOL does the Morse code example like this:
foreach c ask {Message: } [
l: index? find{ etinamsdrgukwohblzfcpövxäqüyj} c
while [l >= 2] [prin pick {-.} odd? l l: l / 2]
]
print “”
I promise, you’ve never seen anything like it.
