Many will argue with me, but C++ is on its way out. It's primary usage these days is maintaining legacy Win32 code, or coding GUI's in Unix.

I would recommend learning c#. It's an easy, OO language to learn, is well documented and supported, and windows is moving to managed code for its API, meaning all the shit ya hafta use C++ (or P/Invoke) for can be done in any of the .net languages.

PHP is quick and dirty, but it's slow. Good learning language, bad language to use in practice with large applications.

If you want the best learning language though, I recommend Java. It runs on everything, has great server-side support...a well rounded language.

hi
i wont recommend c++ because of the reasons mentioned already but i would definitely recommend php , if you want to try out scripts on your website. It is quite easy. I dont know much about c#.

PHP Slow for big websites? pft! http://neopets.com has like 50mil users :S If thats not large, tell me what is?

I disagree..PHP is not slow, It is very fast and it serves the purpose of Web Applications very good, and who said that you can't make large applications with PHP? C++ remains a decent language I agree..but for web applications, I don't see a reason for not using php, it's scalable and even has some sort of object oriented programming, I do not say a real OOP but sort of..

So my opinion, If you want to learn something that's quick and simple, try PHP. Whether you like references you can get almost all functions within their manual.

Thanks for the opinoins guys i think i will do PHP.but after php what should i learn

mholt · 08-11-2005, 06:42 PM

No no! Sorry, but I must say learn C# - highly recommended.

DJ-Sound · 08-11-2005, 06:44 PM

after php? java maybe? c++ is good also...

mholt · 08-11-2005, 06:48 PM

Learn 'em all

I reccommand C# for the fact of Linux/Windows compitably. C# is the big Linux/Unix progrmming language.

I recommand Delphi for coding OS appys like those at Libary,etc

I recommand Java for games/ graphic appys.

I recommand ASP/Perl for major server communication website appys like control panels, game server control panels.

I reccommand php for web site stuff.. Everything else.

Each language has it goods and it bads.

Good Luck!

1 at a time.

I agree - PHP is a GREAT lanuage to learn from - and with the majority of opinion, I'll agree that it indeed IS fast.

I use it quite a bit. Before you start looking for other languages to learn, learn PHP.

Don't just learn it. LEARN it. If that makes any sense what-so-ever, get to know it. Become good at it.

Once you have a solid understanding for PHP, then move on to something else. The basics of all programming languages are the same - but until you understand how everything works, especially how OOP (Object Oriented Programming) is designed, don't try to overload yourself.

I can recommend a few really good PHP resources, by the way (that are free, and open source, of course!).

Good luck!
