The best programming Language to Learn?

There are so many program languages available with specific and different functionalities. But as per my idea is concerned PHP is best for web and server side application, Visual basic .NET for web and application, Ruby for scripting and web, Python for general, scripting and application based with web.

 

I meant C in general and not for web sites specifically. No, we don't go too low-level for that. At one time I did do some direct TCP/IP stuff on the web just to try it but there were too many variables and too little time to mess with it then.

 

And I'd bet you don't know more than one of those languages, if that many.

 

OK I see. I've done some TCP programming but on a much higher level, I expect it's much more manageable. Do you use the usual languages when maintaining web sites?

 

learn Php and MySQL

 

Whenever we need coding in PHP, Python or Windows stuff, we farmed that out to a select few guys who do that work cause we no longer have in-house people who do. But our focus has shifted this year. I'm not likely to take on new clients and am limiting us to the 10 regulars we have now. We are their IT department, if you will, and do pretty much what we want. All programming is done in C except for the shell scripts on FreeBSD and Linux. We did have some .NET stuff for one restaurant chain's cash registers that were based on Windows but the chain took over their online ordering so we don't do that anymore. That coding was farmed out, too.

 

Lol...typical @sshole aswell....

I am pretty familiar with PHP as I do my own programming.

I said its the easiest to learn from what I read because I do not know any other programming language so I can't comment personally on difficulty of learning other languages.


lol..

 

Then you shouldn't be making recommendations, should you.

 

I learned PHP myself by using the internet. I found it the easiest programming language to learn. I'm sure plenty will agree.

I recommend PHP.

 

Hello dear basically if you want to start any language you should have knoledge of C and C++ if you know this then you can proceed for C# or VB.net i will suggest you that you go for c and then C# and VB.net because here you will not have much stuff it is some what easy than java and in DOT NET we are having more scope and with this for back end you should learn SQL server 2008 it is good

Good Luck!!!

 

PHP and Mysql, if you have time javacsript and your pretty much set for anything online.

 

Interesting you should mention that particular order. I learned C# first then C++. I'd recommend this way if you're a complete beginner, then again, I wasn't

 

I think better choice Php MySQL

 

I started Java on my own for about 4 months and find it a very good language to start with.
Having benefits from both high level and low level programming languages.
But remember thah the programming language is not all when it comes to learing programming. Having some good tutorials, books or teachers is just as important

 

I would say start with PHP / MySQL, then continue to Java.

 

Learn Python, C++, Java, and PHP/MySQL

You can't go wrong with that mix!

 

yes, without tutorials and someone to help you out when u get stuck, its difficult to learn any language for that matter

 

one should have some basic knowledge of c and then C# and VB.net because here you will not have much stuff it is some what easy than java about web designing PHP is best.

 

OP, I've noticed almost everyone here encourages learning the easiest of the options. No man, If you really wanna LEARN, go for C++. I understand you're interested in PHP also. Well there ya go. Master C++ and you'll be walking all over PHP the very day after. PHP was influenced by C/C++ to begin with and its syntax is also C/C++ based. With C++ you'll learn of modern day Object Oriented (OOP) concepts - a must have in the industry today. C is a great beginner also, but it doesn't give you the OOP knowledge. PHP is cake, hence the reason its one of the most popular. When you master C++, you'll understand whats really happening in the unseen silicone world. Go for C++ and don't look back. When your at the C++ finish line, Java, Javascript, C#, PHP they all come to you in a week or less.

 

If you want to use it for your career, try Java.
As of this time is is the most in-demand for programmers today.

You can study PHP later on on your free times.
