I think C++ is the easiest? I havent tried any of these and dont have any plans sooner or later but I think might be the easiest because they offer it in some highschool.

I learnt Visual Basic, QBasic, Flash, LOGO and QPascal in high school. I've already detailed my exploits in Visual Basic. I've forgotten anything to do with QBasic, Flash was great; me and some friends made a cartoon and sent it into some competition, but we didn't win anything. LOGO was fun, but I didn't do too much with it. My greatest achievement with QPascal was to make a simple voting thing which I'm sure worked better than the voting machines in Florida back in 2000.

Visual basic is only a handy tool which allows you to (visually) improve procedures within Excel.

You can do much more than that, although that is one of its primarily purposes.

C is used everywhere.. Java sucks, its too slow, ask any programmer that works in Java.. they hate it.

C is by far the better language out of all you have listed.. all workstations, servers, mainframes are all running C programming..

you also have to know what you want to do with the software you want to create inorder to pick what language you want to use..

there are millions of well trained software jockey's around the world you know.. all ready for hire

My girl's thinking of taking up C#, and I was planning to take up Java so that we wouldn't "compete" for clients.

Is Java really that bad then? Care to elaborate?

HTML for web and flash is making leaps and bounds.

Yeah, but I already know HTML... and DHTML, and CSS for that matter.

ef: I heard VB is going to be killed off. I doubt if Java's actually dying, since that's the standard for mobile technology.

i voted for Java
not a big fan of C++. due to its logic. for me visual basic was fun at school, but if you want to make money go with either Java and C++. if you know C++, you could take on Java since most of its scripts are taken from C++.
when i was in college i took the lader system basic, pascal, visual basic, C++. and i quit before taking Java.

hey, look at this.

http://www.csharphelp.com/what.html

did more searching on C#(since that's the one I know the least about), it's kinda cool. It's like half java, half C++.

Download program written in Java for the PC and tell me if you like how it runs

Sir_GT · 08-01-2006, 10:19 PM

^^^ Wouldn't that be a reflection of the person who wrote it? Rather than the language itself? Dunno. Just asking.

black_magician: Cheers for the link. Really interesting.
