What I ment by change the question was that I would change it to read : Which languages do you prefer?
Code: Select all
ww@localhost:echo $name

"\  /\  /  /\   |--  |--  |=   |\  |"
" \/  \/  /- \  |    |    |--  |  \|"

Done

(I know more languages to some degree than I care to list -- I'm nearly finished with a Master's degree in CS and will start my PhD studies in October)

By the way, this should not mean that Ruby is a computer science favorite! That would be a very wrong implication. Most of the hardcore theoretical CS types I know are into Haskell or OCaml :wink:

For stuff that has to be fast even at the expense of longer development times (and that's not a lot of applications these days) I still use C++ or even C (depending on the size of the project and the libraries used). Also, SIMD intrinsics are useful for number-crunching stuff.

Yeah, phpBB 2.x polls suck.

Ok; I want to know what programming language I should start with. This is for someone who is an absolute retard and has never touched anything to do with programmiing before, so something intuitive, easy to use that maybe comes with a tutorial or something... Any suggestions?? :D

C/C++. :)
Unfortunately, I don't know where you can find some English literature about starting with C++. Maybe, somebody here knows :wink:

Well, For my recomendations, I would start with either basic programs (Visual or Quick) and get a for dummies book on them. I found that series very usefull. :lol:

C is the most flexible language(yep, I mean hi level language, not assembler, ect). But one man cannot write under naked C. It's too hard work. You must choose some pack of libraries and tools. My opinion it's QT (The best GUIs developing, IMHO). But this can be disputed.

But if u dont want anything strange from your code, u may code under anything u wish, even basic ("3-buttons-apps", ect).

P.S.
If u r absolute newbi, it's good to start with Turbo Pascal 7.0 (Almost in all russian schools it's the main coding language), 'couse it's easy and unvisual, so no hard things to understand. But this can be disputed too.
For example, Nick does hate it ^_^.

P.P.S. Dont beat me with sticks for this post :)

I just found a coding book i have had for awhile, so i decided to take a look. The programming program is called microsoft macro assembler 5.0. what it lets you do is stich together programs with multiple launguages! the example on the cover did basic, c, pascal, and fortan! If anyone could use there all-powerful internet finding skills to find it, i would be really gratefull!
