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.

Keep on topic, OP was about programming languages not spoken languages.

What evidence do you need. I said it was harder and if you look on the internet people will agree with me and most will propose a easier language. What the point of struggling with a hard language and getting no where far when you can get a better start with an easier language. It's like Rubik's cubes people don't go do 4x4x4 or 5x5x5 without learning how to do a 3x3x3 and even then it would be easier to figure out if you had done a 2x2x2.

Action scripta nd htmlI already know


Do you know when you say you know the language but don't actually know it all then you don't know it?

Ok, then mabye Java??


Best choice if you believe your to l33t for python, which no one is.

There is nothing more I can tell you it's your decision either way.

I agree with darkroot on this one. You claim to know AS3, HTML, XHTML, some PHP and MYSQL.

The fact is if you knew these languages, you wouldn't have to ask other people what language is next. You would automatically know because you would have a complete understanding of what each language you "know" can do and what you are trying to accomplish with this new language.

You are a beginner and need to get this into your head, you are 13 years old and obviously think you "know" programming/markup languages when you do not. Just knowing what they are and a couple things you can do with them does not mean you know them. You need a complete understanding of what is and isn't possible with each language.

It would be correct for you to say that you know a little AS3, HTML, XHTML, and you've heard of or used pre-built PHP and MYSQL applications.

a couple things you can do with them


I can make an entire website in HTML if I want to. And wiht HTML it is not little.

PHP and MYSQL applications.


I almost never use pre built apps, unless I need some thing eal quick which is rare.

The fact is if you knew these languages, you wouldn't have to ask other people what language is next.


Well, I don't want to do anything with the language, I just want some to know it and have some expereince in it.

Specifically I can create a horrible page in 1 second.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Best page</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P> OMG <P>
</BODY>
</HTML>

There done. I know html now.

Well, I don't want to do anything with the language, I just want some to know it and have some experience in it.


Maybe it would be better if you just actually "learned" a single language properly before heading off to "learn" another one.

ok, not what I meant is I can make a good website(not page). With css.

Same, but I took out 1 small book. Then came a long time getting experience.

btw, all that crappy html was not funny.

Why not try C#? It has both Mac and PC compilers, it's fast, it's a type of ECMAScript like ActionScript and it's quite similar to java, except that it is more beginner friendly.
