Programing learning
For backtrack which programing language is the most useful? C? phyton? perl? or bash?? im trying to decide on which one to start learning..

SuperMiguel, my advice would be to try a little of everything, and go with the one you adapt better. Different people like different languages.
pearls can be found in sea,perl can be found in programming.I would suggest you to start with C if you wants to be serious programmer as it will make you aware of all those basic concepts.that later you can apply in shell programming,c++,java,python etc.
well to be honest i dont really like programing that much, like i dont really like bein in front of a computer entering code for hours... but im starting to find out that mild programing helps aloooot sometimes.. So i guess to reformat my question.. Which language is the easiest to learn and at the same the one where i can do more things with out knowing it very very well.. by doing a bit of research must people say either python, perl or bash.... what would you guys recommend?
Sorry I cant spell..

Depends on what you are using the language for. When pen testing the tasks that I use programming to assist with are mixture of automation (running repetitive tasks automatically), text manipulation, binary file editing/manipulation and exploit writing. I use perl (and sometimes bash) for text manipulation, bash (and sometimes perl) for automation, perl for binary file manipulation and python for writing exploits. I am more familiar with perl than python, and I haven't tried to use python for anything other than exploit writing as yet, but Im intending in the future to investigate to see if I can easily use python to perform the tasks I use perl for, because python seems a little easier and cleaner than perl (especially when trying to grok a program you wrote a while ago).
Id suggest that you learn python and bash. You don't have to learn bash in detail though, even if you just learn enough to deal with command line parameters for scripts, user input, some basic conditionals (e.g. if statements), and looping with "for" then you can translate basic Linux command line skills into some pretty useful programs. Learn python to do some of the harder things, such as working with binary data and network sockets.

Python is quite easy and C based, clear and simple.
But you will need to read much about the concept before take out to more complex scripting..
I take much time to get it because i didn't have much logical math concepts.
The more you are able to make math calculations, the more easy will be for you to learn any programing language.
so bash or phyton to start learning?? thanks
Pick one language and learn it. Stick to that one language and don't jump around once you hit a roadblock. It is necessary to learn it properly. Once you understand the concepts of programming it will be much easier to learn another language. I'd recommend to dive deep into C since it will give you the best idea of how programs work and will make you understand errors at compilation time of tools and whatnot. To learn other languages afterwards is a piece of cake.
