Would this camera be good for a beginning photographer?

I'm looking for a camera that would be worth getting. I want to get into photography, but I don't know much about cameras. I want to find something under $800 that will do me good, and I can take and use to learn with and hopefully use for classes?
If someone could recommend me something, that would be great!
Added (1). I kinda need reasons why the camera might be better or worst compared to others? D:

My camera (s) won't charge?

I'm going to a concert soon, and my camera won't charge. I have a Nikon Coolpix s230, and it won't charge at all. I used a wall adapter to try to charge it.My friend is letting me use hers, but hers won't charge either! She has a Nikon Coolpix s3000. Any reason why this could be happening?

I can't turn off the shutter sound when taking pictures now?

Every since I sent my Nikon CoolPix L120 to get repaired the shutter makes a "click" noise when I snap pictures and I have no clue how to mute it.It didn't do that before the repair ( the camera works fine ) and its rather annoying, especially since I use the camera a lot for my work.
Added (1). It never did it before the repair, I can't remember if I found a way to mute it or not before.
