Re: Which programming Language

[Robert Baron <robertbartlettbaron@gmail.com>]

For what it is worth:

I would start by learning C.  Basically, C++, java, php, perl, python all share enough similarities that they are
rather easy to pick up (Yes I know php, perl and python have less in common which is why I put them later in the list).

Don't worry about if a language has strong or weak types.

The following tools I have found useful for 90% of what I have done professionally (sort of in the order that I have found
them useful):

C, SQL, vi, cvs, php, ksh, cron, perl

and for certain problems/situations

lisp, ml, prolog.

If you do start with C, I would consider the following books as a good starting point:
    The C Programming Language, Kerrigan and Richie
    Expert C Programming, Peter van der linden (?)

The best C++ programming book that I have read is The Design and Evolution of C++.  Unfortunately, I didn't
find The C++ Programming Language to be useful at all. 

Just my 2 cents worth.

HI,
There are many and many programming languages (mainly : C,C++,java,
Shell, Perl, python, php). which learn and use, in which circonstances
use that language instead of the other.

In many situations we can use anyone, but which is better.

thanks a lot
