Buy or download (legally, of course!) eBooks. It's called a "language", not a script. Script is a file of code. A scriptlet is a small part of a script. C/C++ is easily one of the hardest languages to learn. Visual Basic is considered a "newbie" language, but it's a good place to start. The hardest you should even consider is Java, but that may be pushing it a little (that's assuming you have NO prior programming experience in ANY language, server-side or client-side.)
i started in VB then i went to python then c and c++ i sugest that progresion . Python is a great program to know not alot of people know it but it sure is a very nice language. i have not programed in almost a year and i fear i might almost have to start over. ;( ;( but i wish you all the best. o and BTW i would talk to some it prople at you school maby you could ask them to intern and they could teach you. but just read tuts tuts tuts. good luck my friend. P.S. Code: Print "Hello World"
Do NOT learn C++. You will be wasting your time. C++ is a dead language now. Learn C# if you are going for anything that will be usefull. Also Java and PHP are good to have knowledge of. Currently I am learning C# and a little PHP.
Well, server side scripting (PHP is one) is getting really good to know now because of the large amount of push for migration to web based programs. Whats really great is to know AJAX, which requires javascript, php, mysql and sometimes XML knowledge, all put together. (AJAX = Asynchronous Javascript and XML)
Visual Basic teaches bad programming habits, and requires runtime DLL C++ is alot harder than java. Java is OO but Object Oriented Programming is just a style. The cool thing about c++ is that you don't have to use classes and stuff in C++ although you can if you wanted to. You think C++ is dead? Is that why you are using a crappy .net language? php isn't a programming language btw. It scripting. Java is very slow, doesn't support multithreading. C++ has a few flaws as well like buffers.
really I suggest u learn vb then if u like it and want to proceed u should try c# if u suceed in that THen i SUGGEST C++ personally i am at the C# level and i for scripting i suggest php,mysql are goof laugnages also but hey thats just me
I have programmed some C++ and I think that dev-c++ is the best free compiler out there. To get started, buy a book and if you know anyone that is a programmer (any language) ask him if he can help you and maybe guide you if there is any problems.
Java has few flaws also, and it works on all OS's (or at least the most common.) It is also in high demand, along with C. PHP is a great language, but if you want to learn a server-side language along with programming, then I suggest Perl. More difficult then PHP, will get you set in tone with other common languages mentioned in this topic, and is a top notch hacking language. Easy to use with the CGI, so yeah. Just some choices for you.
Well actually I do think its dead. And C# will earn you a lot more money if you know it. And yes, PHP is known as a language. Doesnt matter anyway since I never even said it was. If you are going to try and call me out on a public forum, maybe learn what your talking about.
Yes but it runs on a vm. I don't think the guy that started this thread is after money.. yet. Php is a language but not a programming language which is what this thread is about. It is a scripting language.
