ok, so I know as3, html, xhtml, some php&mysql. I want to learn another language, preferably something not website based.

I would like something a bit different from the other but not too much.

Definitely JavaScript or J query (which is equivalent to JavaScript on steroids) I would also suggest c++ c# good luck

JavaScript


Not website based? It is website based.

I think I'll try my luck with C++ as its a common language and used very often

Python or Javascript. Java is mostly website based though :P


Shame on you for not knowing the difference between java and javascript.

There is a difference between know and have used before. If you not proficient in OOP and know how to construct and use Recursions know basic boolean algebra and logic. I would recommend the same list I believe in which is Python > Java > C++ .

I agree.

Python? Why does everyone say that? What are it's practical uses? But the I think I will with darkroots line, because of many reasons. but can you tell me how to use python, because last time I tried it out I couldn't do that?

Please keep on topic and less ego stroking :P.

Python? Why does everyone say that?


Because it is the best language to learn for beginners.

What are it's practical uses?


A lot but practically should not be a concern to a beginner.


but can you tell me how to use python, because last time I tried it out I couldn't do that?


What the problem? If your having difficult with using python I would forget Java and C++ because they are exponentially more unfriendly and harder just to navigate and use.

But seriously I would learn C++.


Why?

Why?


I just think it is a pretty common language and it would be useful. I don't know much about code but that is a pretty common language.

All languages are useful. But it depend on what you need to be done. C++ is not a good program for beginners.

No, it's not the code that's hard it's the GUI, I don't know how to run a .py file. I tried C/C++ before a little bit and didn't find it very difficult, with Python I cant really understand how it works.

Python GUI is just line by line commands. Go to Python GUI > File > New window and then you can write multi-line code then > save the file > run > run module or f5. C++ is much much harder and I would not recommend it even in my wildest dream for a beginner. You have to understand binary and how to convert it and mathematic logic just to get anywhere. Also you have to spell out EVERYTHING to make it do what you want.

Java is a good place to start. Not overly difficult to learn, and has a lot of tutorials as well.

I have no difficulty with mathematics(I am near the topof the top class in school. Also I know the basics of binary and I can convert it do decimal. All I need is to just learn some more about binary and there you go.

Also you have to spell out EVERYTHING to make it do what you want.


Spelling is also not a problem, the c++ words aren't that hard.

Oh and what do you mean by begginer?
