 It is wonderful that you have decided to undertake the hobby of computer programming, but which language should you choose: Python, PHP, Java, C\#,
-C/C++, VB, Ruby, Scala, Groovy, Javascript, or one of the thousands of others languages available to programmers. There are many factors to consider
-when choosing a programming language especially when getting into programming for the first time: paradigm, syntax, platform and even just the

+C/C++, VB, Ruby, Scala, Groovy, Javascript, or one of the thousands of others languages available to programmers.
+There are many factors to consider when choosing a programming language especially when getting into programming for the first time, some
+of which are the languages paradigm, syntax, platform and even the coolness factor of the language.
 
 \subsection{Paradigm}
-A languages paradigm refers to how the language is constructed. For example the three mainly disucessed paradigms are Functional, Object Oriented
-and Multi Paradigm. Functional refers to languages that are based around completing tasks using Mathematical functionals; C is an example of
-a functional language because it does not support the use of classes or objects. Object Oriented languages on the other hand are constrcuted
-by designing classes and objects to complete your programming tasks; Java is an example of an Object Oriented programming language because
-regardless of the type of program you develop you are forced into using classes and objects. Multi Paradigm languages are usually a mix
-of more than one paradigm. For example Python is a Multi Paradigm language because you can choose whether or not to use classes and objects
-when programming.
+A languages paradigm refers to the languages overall style of development.
+For example the three mainly adobted paradigms are Functional, Object Oriented and Multi Paradigm.
+Functional refers to languages that are based around completing tasks using Mathematical functionals; C is an example of
+a functional language because rather than using classes or objects to complete it's tasks it used constructed functions.
+Object Oriented languages on the other hand are constrcuted by designing classes and objects to complete your programming tasks;
+Java is an example of an Object Oriented programming language because regardless of the type of program you develop you must use classes and objects.
+Multi Paradigm languages are usually a mix of more than one paradigm.
+For example Python is a Multi Paradigm language because you can choose whether or not to use classes and objects when programming.
+\par
+
+There are many more types of paradigms that languages can follow but most languages you will come across today are either
+strictly functional, strickly object oriented or they offer the best of both worlds by supporting both.
 
 \subsection{Syntax}
-A languages syntax is very important when choosing a language. This is mainly going to be a personal preference. Personally I like C style
-sytanx languages like C,C++,Java,PHP,Javascript,etc. Other people might prefer other languages because their use of other syntax styles. Your
-personal preference will come with time as you move from one language to another and develop your own personal style and preferences.

+Your personal preference will come with time as you move from one language to another and develop your own personal styles and preferences.
 
 \subsection{Platform}
-This is a very important factor when choosing which programming language to use. What platforms do you have available to use? Do you only have
-a Windows computer at your disposal? That might remove some of the options out there as some languages might not support developing on a 
-Windows machine.

+That might remove some of the options out there as some languages might not support developing on a Windows machine.
+\par
+
+When starting out try and choose a language that works on a platform that is readily available to you.
+Do not try and move to a new or different operating system in order to learn programming.
+Keep things simple.
 
 \subsection{Coolness}
-What seems cool to you? Right now as I write this a lot of people are trying out Node.JS (even myself) as it is somewhat new and exciting.
-What do you want to learn? Does the idea of developing real time event based web applications seem cool? Then maybe you should check out
-Node.JS. Prefer to develop Windows based desktop applications, why not try out C\# or Vb? Go with what you feel.
+What seems cool to you?
+What is everyone else raving about right now?
+What is new and different?
+\par
+
+Some may think that this is a silly factor to introduce when trying to pick a programming language to use, but I can honestly
+say that it has effected my choices in the past.
+When I was learning programming in college we were being taught Java, but I picked up and learned PHP myself on the side
+mainly because my friend was using it and I wanted to impress him.
+This is not a bad thing.
+Let others help influence your decisions when programming, that is how you will grow and learn things you might not of
+experienced without the influence.

 \subsection{Conclusion}
-Advice, if after doing some research you are still unsure which lanauge you want to use, especially for going through this resource try out
-Python. Python is available for every platform, or at least all of the ones I can think of, it is interpreted and lastly it's syntax is
-going to be one of the closest to the sudo langauge that this resource uses.
+So, we have taken a quick look at how to go about picking a programming language.
+Some of you might say, "that was not really helpful, you did not tell me which language to use", and your right I didn't, it should not
+be my choice which language you learn first.
+I want to try and keep some bias out so that this resource is as lanuage agnostic as possible.
