come on ccl0 i want something new i love old compiling tools but i need something new

KLINGON!!!

AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML)

.net seems to be the new trend. But it is heavy stuff though..

well i found a book about c#.net

i'm planning to buy it and try to learn it my self

it gonna be hard but i gonna try it <<nothin is easy

but first i need to finish the car license so i can get more free time

I've been looking into this a bit myself. I've come to the following conclusions.

1) Javascript, only widespread in webpages.

2) Java, clunky, non-standard GUI.

3) Python, excellent & powerful code. Done correctly, cross-platform. Major negative=no easy way to compile an .exe.

4) C++, The standard! Nearly all major apps are built with it. Combined with the GUI builder Qt, it's awesome. Major negative=difficult to learn

5) C#, M$'s 'improvement' on C++. IIRC, you can only develop with it in Visual Studio.

6) .NET, M$ proprietary code. Only cross-platform if you develop in linux using 'Mono'. Heavy dependency for users to install .NET.

I had Turbo Pascal 5.5 (with Object Oriented Programming). It came on many 5.25" floppies with three fat manuals. And it ran from DOS! Fun days, indeed.

Depends on what you want to do. For scripting, app-deployment, Active Directory and that kind of stuff: Visual Basic. For programming real applications: C, C++ or even C#. Edit: And for web development, I'd go LAMP: Apache, MySQL + PHP.

I think python would be nice. It's an interpreter rather than a compiler language like c,c++. You may use python for prototyping purpose for quick developing. I have been coding, scripting scientific programs with fortran,matlab mathematica,r,c for a time but I have switched to python and I recommend you to use it.

And you're giving advice to someone from two and a half years ago via some kind of time machine? LOL

Cheers and Regards

LoL well currently i'm using c# it's quite nice

got a lot of learning right now

thx for the Tip any way :punk:

1. Learn pseudocode and/or flowchart (why? development u logic, is very import)

2. Learn programming language

I recommend C#

Grrr, i also made the mistake of posting 2 years after the original post
