Hello, my name is Omar Donovan.
I live in Charlotte, NC. I am a security guard and have been doing it for the past 6 years, which by the way I am very tiered of doing this boring same routine job. That is why I really want to learn programming a get a career in something that I really enjoy.
My question to you is:
What is the easiest programming language to master?
Thanks you very much for taking the time and reading my question...
Thanks again for the e-books.

Donovan:
I just replied your question. I gave you two answers (a.) the easiest programming language you can learn, which is not so valuable or marketable and the next programming language which is much more marketable, valuable and in-demand. It's also quite easy to learn as you can master it in about 3 months.

Hi Kingley,
I am a computer operator though I had basic knowledge in programming (dbase II, III) but not enough to face more challenging tasks in programming.
How long will it take me to master say sybase or any data based management programming language? What is the cost? Is it possible to have any financial support anywhere to ease my costs?
Thanks.

Hi Emmanuel:
Of course you know that dbase skills are no longer relevant to the world technology market. I learnt or was introduced to dbase myself in the early 1990s when tools like clipper, foxpro, microsoft access etc. where the rave.
It should take you about 2 months to master a modern relational database management software like Sybase. It may even take you 3 months if you don't have a lot of time. Bear in mind that this is only academic or theoretical mastery. Real mastery will develop after a few years using or working with the tool.
Speaking to your question, the cost is whatever you make of it. There is no one way of learning any programming language or database tool. However, some learning methods will take you much longer, perhaps years when compared to more effective learning methods which are inexpensive. Budget a few hundred dollars for buying books to start with.
There is no financial support available except if you go to college and get financial aid here in the US. Otherwise, you will have to do what I did and what several other people did which is pay their own way through. Nowadays, with so much opportunity available for making money online, it's considerably easier to earn an income online to support your education.
I hope I answered your question.
Thanks,
