Hi Nitant,

Great initiative!

-I recommend starting with c#: it is very similar to java so it is a good way to know how to switch to processing later if you are interested.

-VB is not case sensitive which can be friendlier.

-Python is nice because you don't need to declare variables but it is only on Rhino5 and might be confusing at first as you will use Rhinoscriptsyntax as opposed to RhinoCommon.

*RhinoCommon is the SDK of Rhino (your ingredients). Have a look: http://www.rhino3d.com/5/rhinocommon/

*You can learn how to code on Java on codeacademy.com and you can ask questions on Stack Overflowwhich is a great forum for programmers.

*It will be fairly simple to switch between languages using the convertor: http://developerfusion.com/ most scripting concepts are fairly similar.

*Also I noticed this great tutorialseries on c#.

*Finally, have a look at this example to see how scripting works on GH with different languages.

All the best,

Arthur
