[Debate] What do we recommend?

[Huntondoom]

since we have a lot newcomers
and ask us how to "hack"
but what are we going to say?

I usually say something like
learn C Then C++ and php
(really standard)

but what should be added/delete/modifyied?

[Stackprotector]

For now we will help them out, like telling them where to start based on a specific goal stated by the newcomer.
I delete every single post who is to much to "how can i learn to hack", how to hack facebook etc., just because, it is clearly stated in the rules, and if you won't read them as newcomer, dont cry when your post get deleted.

Tough we need an introduction post who is created for the total noobs, beginning skids.

The C Programming Language.

I always tell them to begin with HTML and CSS. After that PHP and MySQL. Relatively easy and you can see quickly some results..

But thats only when they wanna go the web-based way

I always tell them to learn to create before learning to destroy - because if you know how to create, you can think of more productive/effective ways destroy stuff and I like creating more, because then you have something to show. Like those skiddies doing SQL injection without having a clear picture of wtf SQL is - this just makes me sad, really.
Those who don't want to learn to create and just want to destroy - I never help them, it's my principle.
But yeah, if to be more precise - I'd probably suggest PHP/SQL/HTML or Python/Delphi? (because they are really useful and really easy languages - Delphi ain't dead bish!), or C and all its branches... depends on what the skiddie wants.
