What is everybody best programming language?
I think my favorites...so far... (In no particular order)
Visual Basic, Java, C++
:)
Well, I'm very new to programming (big newbie here and we ain't just talking about hips here) but I've found C very enjoyable thus far. ;)
I've been self teaching it to myself.
So far I have only learned the basics of C++, VB, Html.:p
I thought HTML was nothing more than just a scripting language. Cuz if you're including that, then i'd include it. I've been doing HTML for well over 5 years (and none of them wimpy HTML editors.. all by hand in a text file thank you!)
I would have to say that my favorite programming language is c++, i have been learning it for about 3 yrs and i know all that they can teach me in college here...hey, if anyone knows some good tuts i'm up for them, i want to know it inside and out :P

LOGO! What other program allows you to control a turtle?
C++ is my favorite.
I had forgotten about LOGO. LOGO must be my very first programming experience. Thank you for refreshing fond memories.
For anyone interested, a simple search turned up these sites on LOGO:
http://www.edu.uleth.ca/students/logo/default.html
http://mckoss.com/logo/
http://midwich.rdg.ac.uk/staff/Ron.B.../Software.html
This last link has links to downloads of LOGO for Mac, DOS, and UNIX. The links point to local files, but just change the protocol from file to ftp and you will have no trouble.
my favorite is VB and the entire basic family (5 years)
and the web.. coldfusion/asp/php and the scripting languages .. etc. .etc..
i miss assembly language though..
mov DL,40h
cmp AL,0Bh
:p
The entire basic family is gross!
I started with basic because my 8088 had no hard-drive, and if you started it without a floppy, then it would boot into BASIC...
But It's totally lame!
Same thing with the other versions, I used
BASIC
BASICA
GWBASIC
QuickBasic
Ms QB4.5
In that order,
then i learned some other languages,
and it seemed like basic programming isnt even really like programming... its psycho...
Like that whole lack of structure thing...
With the lack of memory control and all...
VB is okay... but its so high-level that its... Different...
Now if im doing anything important then I'll use c,
and if its just some stupid little things ill use Turbo Pascal.
Im suprised that all of you guys are so into visual programming?
I thought that this place would be filled with c fans?

Well, I'm a fan of C, so you shouldn't be too dissappointed. Not too great at it, but I still enjoy it. JAVA's not bad either, but C++ is MUCH better.
VIsual C++, and Visual Basic
I'm learning java in school and can't really make up my mind if I like it or not. I just started COBOL and I really hate it! I know it's supposed to be basic but the crap just gets so confusing.
I learned C in colleague and have used it to learn Java, Perl, and ABAP (a proprietary language owned by SAP closer in syntax to Cobol). My favorite is C. VB is great for RAD (Rapid Application Development) but somewhat clunky @ runtime. HTML I consider a format tool like xml and not a language.
I once had to use 64-bit assembler -very efficient -very painful
I know vB and a bit of Java (and HTML, but like the last poster said, it's not really a language.) But which of all the various languages do you think are the most useful?
I know HTML is not a language but it is something i know how to write. I remember LOGO I played with that back in JR. High School.:D
C++ and VB and Java are what I think is the most usefull.
But others might think different
Right now it has to be HTML, and as another post says, all hand coded via notepad. I am currently self teaching Java and Perl.:D
Its all about Perl and C++,
but HTML and javascript's fun to play with (and they are so simple)
I do & like c/cpp (Visual C++ too), java, vb (for quick dev/UIs/database interfaces (ADO is just sooo easy))...
Dislikes: ADA (they teach it at the university I go to, though I've had those (most) courses credited; I think it's stupid to teach that as a first language since it's soooo unused...)
perl (I've used it very little, but I find the syntax weird and inconsistent... like a quote I've read before said "Perl, the only language that looks the same before and after RSA encryption!" ;)
and a few others I've tryied/use(d) (commodore 128 basic, javascript and ohter scripts...)

C. The only language that matters.
C++? Just some add-ons.....
Java? Just C++, 'cept partially interpreted, so you don't have to rewrite your sources for different machines.....
Perl? Nice, but it's not C.
Lisp? Too many parenthesis.
Assembler? Powerful, but rather more eyestrain than I like to deal with....
Gotta love C.
Prog. is not for kids, nor is i fun to makes prog's in prog lang's that are too easy. For example Java. Of all the lang's that i have seen so far, my personal fav will always remain 'C', with a mixture of assembly. There is nothing more powerful that this, there is no limits to what u can do with this combination. Next i like prog. with LISP, for it gives u extended features. But if we're speaking abt a lang. for a beginner, then there is nothing better than V.B.
It's gotta be MoonRock/SpaceDebris.
:borg:
Perl Perl Perl!
By far the most enjoyable language I've stumbled across. Powerful, rapidly developed, and fun. You should definately check it out. Judging from the fact you posted this topic, I'm guessing you haven't used it much before ;-)
I like delphi!

^25 sites that I am attempting to deface today
plz don't re-crax k thx.
Why do you hate my GUTS JP !?¿i
EXPLAIN why you boot me from the irc room before I say Hi.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????
And MsMittens -- Just because you are new and you have " + " been voiced doesn't mean you should abuse your power and kick others who don't deserve to be kicked like me OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!
Favorite compiled: C/C++
Favorite scripted: TCL
Other languages that are good:
Java, Perl, Pascal (for my old DOS machine), Shell scripting
XML is a data definition language, NOT a format language like HTML.
Some of the XML Schemas are used for page layout (ie XHMTL) but most are used to define data.
Happy Hacking!
Logo one of my favourite languages that i have learned in early ages or i rather say its the first language I learned 8-9 yrs. ago, but still i like it ,Quote:

FD, RT like that stuff.
Besides Logo i love assembly i only know its basic but since its the most powerful language via u can do hardware interfacing thats y i like it .
No doubt C and java have gain market they cann't beat assembly.
I've started learning ASP and VB scripting these days let c where i go from here.
Yeah . If you learn C++ well, NO ONE will be able to challenge your programming skills.
For the web , do learn Java Script and Perl
For more mail me at [email protected]
assembly
python
c++
I am pretty much the same as a few folk in ere
Ive done pascal,VB, java,html, n a bit of C++
but i want to learn perl next.
I dont know them through n through but i do know a fair bit on each language.
Python, nice to see someone else with an interest, Im not bad at C either but no guru. Assembly is great for virii writers [evil people but anyway] and as for HTML and javascript, well I reckon you could teach nearly anybody HTML but not everyone could learn Perl.Quote:

For the web, I think that JavaScript is pretty good. Combined with some ActiveX controls (Mainly to Save/Load Files), I can do quite a few things with my JavaScripts...
I also Like PERL, for writing CGI scripts, but I haven't time to learn it now, especially since I'm trying to write some CGI in C++...
C and C++ are good languages, but I don't know too much about it yet.
If there were more interesting things to do in my QBASIC programming class (Since they won't let me take anything more advanced :(), then I would probably like it, but it seems that I can do more in C++ (even with my very limited knowledge of it...)
Visual Basic

Man Assembly is not gr8 for evil ppl and for Virii, its cool cause u can control ur hardware. Most of the virus are created in VB and VC, but i have not come to know or i haven't yet seen any virus coded in assembly.
The most important thing of Assembly is that u can create C, or C++ like that languages in Assembly but u cann't create Assembly in those languages.
There are virii written in pure assembly Kakakool, do you have a broad interest in the subject or are you simply trying to undermine me. Yes VB is a popular language for virus coding perhaps due to its simplicity but assembly virus is not something I made up for fun.
Hello Kakakool ...
It was a long time since you said something completly stupid. Seems that you can't control on that point, do you ?
You can write a C/C++ compiler in assembly. You can also write an Assembly in C/C++ ... you can even write it in VB or prolog.
Virtually, any language is equivalent. What change is the need you have for it. You could reprogram an "hardware device handler" in C if you want (Basic would be far far far far more difficult to use, but not impossibe to use, I worked once again with a microcontroller that use BASIC to be programmed), and you can write a whole internet browser in assembly if you want. Both will be harsh works.
My favorite language, for now, is C. Pure C I mean, without C++ extensions. 80x86 assembly is also cool, but tend to be a little hard to use when it comes to code optimization, because of many many penalties rules to be checked.
I was also a great fan of Z80 and 8051 assembly.

No im not trying to undermine you, its just i like to learn and more abt. virii. I have developed a few virus too. I like news and views abt. virus a lot . So if u can provide me information abt. assembly viruses i'll highly appriciate it .
The point i wan't to make in my post is that since assembly is mainly used in those areas where hardware is mainly involve whereas C is not used for such problems thats y i said one cann't develop assembly in C while a C can be develop in assembly. You can develop compiler of any language in any other language like i've done i develop the compiler of PASCAL in C. It wasn't that good but was my first try and i think i learn a lot from that experience.Quote:

One more thing abt. assembly ppl. can play with languages like C and Java blap balp, but one is very cousious while using assembly since it directly store values in registers and work with ur hardware.
Anyway i also recommend C , casue assembly coding is quite difficult and u have to learn lots of codes for simple operation. Thats y i've not bound myself in any language im a general programmer its upto my collegues to code the softwares that i analyze .

One more thing thanx for the complements
Well I've gotten into a little C/C++, and just started getting into Perl. C is easy to learn and code and is fairly powerful, more powerful than C++ as far as non-graphical code goes, but if you want a mouse involved, C++ is the way to go in C/C++. But now there is C#, which is a combo of C/C++, and Java, I've heard from people who were learning it that its a pretty sweet ass languauge. But then Perl just kicks ass, its much like C/C++, but you don't have to define variables (you can if you want, but you don't have to) and no stupid header files. Plus its mult-platform without having to add extra stuff like you do in Java......
Just my 2 cents.......
:cool: I really like java and visual basic, however there is nothing like the unstructured madness of QuickBasic.
