anandvivek88 Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Sir, I have known C language and I want to study other programming languages . What programming language can I study to be useful in the future? Can I study Unix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanJ Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 You'll have to be a bit more specific. There are hundreds of programming languages out there in two main catorogies (three really...) Catigory 1: Web Programing Catigory 2: Computer Proramming. C beloongs in the second catogory so it all depends on what area you wish to focus If you like computer programmng then things like Visual BASIC, Java or one of the other versions of C may suite you. If you like web programming then Java, PHP, ASP, Javascript my suit you If you'd be more specific to the language(s) then I'd be glad to offer as much help as I can and point out some good references for you Cheers, Ryan Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BriVaps Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 UNIX is an operating system you should know how to use it Java is good to know for web related stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaynos Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Catigory 1: Web Programing Catigory 2: Computer Proramming. Way too simplistic. The question you want to ask yourself is: What do you want to do with the programing language? JAVA is a good language to learn imo because it forces good coding practices apon people...

anandvivek88 Posted October 31, 2005 Author Share Posted October 31, 2005 Thank you Ryan, I prefer Computer programming only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5614 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 And what kind of thing would you like to program? I think a good question to answer (which I can't) is what programming language allows you to do a lot of things which you simpy cannot do in C?

I actually think that C is the most powerful language for just about everyhting though some will probably disagre on that. C is highly customisable and is a very poweful lanaguage but is quite hard to learn and requires strict syntax. There are other poweful languages with loads of features: a few of my favourites are: Visual BASIC - a poweful language that runs on Windows only. Syntac is based arround objects and mainly forms. You may also want to look into the VB.NET - its the new thing Pascal: Simmilar to Visual BASIC. Java: Again anotehr very poweful language and it links into the internet too! Other variations on C such as C++ and C# are also very good There are loads of others too but those are a few of the ones I know and like a lot Cheers, Ryan Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5614 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 VB is my strong point... though it'd be nice (IMO) to know C## not sure why but I've always thought I'd rather go for C## than C, there was probs a good reason once! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woelen Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 VB is my strong point... though it'd be nice (IMO) to know C## not sure why but I've always thought I'd rather go for C## than C, there was probs a good reason once! The language of your choice strongly depends on what you want to build in the language. The C-language is very good at low-level things (e.g. control of machines, fast algorithms for computations, data processing, I/O on multiple devices, etc.). The C++-language also is quite good at these things, but sometimes the virtual method table lookup overhead in accessing (method)members may be a burden. Even with JIT-compilers at hand, Java and C# do not come close to the performance, which can be obtained with truly compiled languages like C and C++. If you aim for end-user programs with GUI, then C is not your best choice. Of course there are numerous libraries, which allow such programs to be written in C, but things can become quite cumbersome. Enterprise-applications hardly are written in C and C++ nowadays anymore. Languages of your choice here are Java and C#. With many pieces of middleware, higher-level languages may be available also. Another question you have to ask yourself is on what platform you will be developing. I've developed software for mainframes, PC's, but also for embedded small devices. The environment, OS and hardware possibilities widely vary and not each programming language is available on each platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
