I am looking to get my feet wet with encryption. When I say encryption
program I am talking about something to get me off to a quick start.
Something very simple, far less than the 40+ bit encryption code.
What I need is an easy to understand language choice. I've used BASIC
a long time ago but is there another language that is better and more
supported?
There seems to be hundreds of languages so it's hard for me to just
pick one.
I also wanted it to be a freeware or shareware programming language
with a compiler and maybe an editor that has colors and error
checking. I'll need it to be usable in a windows/xp environment.
Maybe a one that compiles into a self supportive EXE?
As I said I am just starting by trying to code a very simple
encryption program. If anything fits this bell then please give me
some information.
Thanks.
