Posted: Fri Nov 06, 2009 10:14 pm Post subject: Whats the best language to learn for all general purposes? |
|
|
VB?
Flash?
Java?
C?
C+?
C++?
C#?
Delphi?
^ one of them please...
Currently I'm good at Flash (AS3).
I'm learning VB (in Programming 1 class).
I want to learn C++ but the syntax seems really odd, almost as odd as assembly.
I'm just not sure whats best, I don't want to waste my time studying/using it if it doesn't help but only one thing, for example: Flash - really only good for Flash-related items.

probably C#
if you really want to start with C++, you may find it easier to work with C at first. mostly everything from C carries to C++, though not necessarily the other way around.

Win32 is pretty simple once you get the concept nailed down. Not a good idea to try without at least having the basics down though.

I'd advice you to move from vb to c# and maby then from c# to C or C++.
Moving from VB to C or C++ would be fierce.
Why is flash in the list?

Oh okay, thanks dudes. Hopefully next year (when I'm a JR) I'll take Programming 2 and we'll learn C#.
Also I put Flash in the list because thats what I'm best at out of all of them.

I find that the debugging of C/C++ code is very hard, and that Java can be very good for learning concepts. But as far as hacking goes, Java is worthless (although bots are possible).
I went from Ruby to Flash AS2 to C/C++ to AS3, Java, etc.

no no no, this is bad advice.
VB is useless outside of maintaining legacy code. C# is much more elegant.

Guess I'll attempt to start learning C# lol.
Now, any compiler of choice? Visual Studio?

0. ASM ftw!
1. C++
2. Java || Perl
3. PHP || Python
4. VB...

I actually meant C# You can see that it is a typo becuase I said so later in the post
I meant that it would be easier to migrate from C# to C++ than from VB.

Anyway, Python is nice for all sorts of stuff and it's portable.

You can decompile C# IIRC.
There is no such thing as "better programming language". I don't understand why it keeps getting asked.
VB isn't really "Legacy", it's just really really bad because of the run times. VB is a RAD language. I write libraries in C for VB all the time.
I learned C fairly easy years ago, the syntax is easy to get the hang of and their are lots of nice IDE's out there(PellesC) to use. Lots and lots of source code to learn from.
Just take your pick, find something you think is fun and stick to it! If you mainly want to hack video games, then you should know that practically any language is capable of doing that.
Also, the "Java is worthless for hacking, but it can be used for bots"? What?

He means memory editing other processes is fiddly to do in Java. It can be done but with a lot more hassle than it's worth

| For faster development and compatibility use Java. For more wide coverage of your applications use C/C++.
