Wich proggraming language...

I'm trying to get a feel for all the major programming language and I would like some advice. I know html, xss, some java, alot of visual c++, bit of C, and I have mastered a few smaller languages for programs such as flash.

I'm trying to be a jack of all trades to get the feel of everything and know basics. Wich should I go for next? I'm hearing alot about Perl/Python but would like some proffesional advice.

Thanks in advance

lisp

do you know any browser side scripting languages like php. If not go for that or SQL (even though its not really a language).

I've mastered SQL but I too didn't think it was much of a language. I think i'll see about getting my php skills improved.

personally i think being a jack of all trades is overrated. get really good in one or two languages.

i recommend python or java

Erm, you mean CSS? :P

It depends on what you want to go into. For low-level (operating systems, embedded systems) programming, C would probably be best. Java and python are extremely versatile if you just want all-around stuff.

Alright then, I'm going to do php and java, thanks for the advice guys B)

….. browser side?! you want some advice? STFU unless you know what you're talking about.

And Devil, stop saying "mastered", you haven't mastered shit.

You're competent, at best.

IF you know a bit of java, C# would be good. It very like it in many wasy and allows stand allone apps like c++. However I don't know any c so I can't tell you if it's close to it. c, and C++ are suppose to be good as in stand alone apps (like I said, I can't judge for c cause I don't know any of it). Java is suppose to be very good for internet apps(I only know a little bit of java myself). C# is suppose to be a combo of C++ and java(I also can't vouch for C# cause I only know a little bit as well).

hope that helps Alcatraz

C is the only logical answer. I just like looking at it. It's like porn.

Hear, hear. C# ain't too shabby, either.

i still say lisp!

from any point of view that i look at it, i cant see how CSS is a language. please help me, i just cant see it. let's say for example im interested in coding a little media player in CSS how would i go about it? thanks

Well, if you make the assumption that a language must be completely self-sufficient, then no, CSS isn't a language. Neither is Javascript. If you look at the binding of syntax and structure in order to achieve a goal (no matter how small), then CSS is a language. "Language" is loose enough to include those seeming exceptions, I'm sure.

For that matter, write a media player in XML, HTML, or any other "markup language". They're languages, but their functionality and purpose are different from what most people consider to be "languages".

i agree with what you said but at least javascript allows you to declare a damn variable. variables would be really helpful in CSS and would make achieving its goals better, and could make it much clearer. but can you make something as simple as that in css? nope.

Exactly. Languages like CSS and Javascript aren't //programming// languages but they ARE languages.

Then build self modifying code in other languages!!!

hehe, i've done it in python, and i've seen C that recompiles itself and then leaves a call to itself on the stack when it dies.

sorry, this may be a bit off topic, but is python considered a funtional or a procedural language?

Procedural, but it's hella easy to compile with gcc so it's considered compied as well.
