what should i begin with

[Antonio]

i want to study script ,which one is easy to learn by oneself?
PHP OR ASP:)

anyone can give some advices:p

[dawizman]

I would learn PHP personally. It is easy to learn alone, or so i found. When i tried to learn ASP, it was more difficult.

I like perl!

if you know c, c++, or java, perl will make a lot of sense to you

PHP in my opinoin. They both have strengths and weaknesses, mabe you should read this (http://www.sitepoint.com/article/870) article from SitePoint.

Perl is cool, syntax a lot like that of C, except you dont have to declare every variable, fast scripting language gets compiled before its run.

PHP is really cool, its syntax is that of Java, C, C++, TCL, perl and qB/vB mixed together to create a powerfull web language that can also perform tasks on the command line eventhough its not commonly used that way.

C++ is the newer version of C, its updated syntax is more OOP oriented, its syntax is a lot like C's except with a lot of differences on how some stuff gets handled by the compile.

C is the first language that came before C++, it really is the main language for most programmers since it was used before, and has a standard where as C++'s standard is still evolving. This language is considered old school, and is mainly used on Linux/BSD/Unix.

TCL is a language that has been mainly forgotten, it can be found back in such products as Eggdrop and quite a few other irc bots. Its not widely known and resources / scripts for it are mostly just for Eggdrop's.

Java is like C, but it requires different ways and more advanced ways to get stuff from lets say the command line or a file, everything has to be explicitly stated or an error has to always be caught. Its power is OOP, although it is a language that runs on every single system, for some tasks its slow, and i personally wouldnt use it. It has to run thru a VM to be able to do anything.

ASP, this is basically a mixture of vB and some other language, the background of this programing language is unknown to me, since i did very little coding in it finding that it was not all that much, and found it hard to understand.

C# is one of the new comers, this is basically MS Java with some addon stuff from vB. This language has been predicted not to go all to far since its closely integrated with .NET and probably never will be able to be compiled on *Nix unlike C/C++.

VisualBasic, this is the follow up from qBasic, its mostly just a click and drag interface, and then you add the code. It can be compiled into executables but it will require DLL's to be avail on the system executing, which Win98/Win95 are missing. For the rest its basically like qB except for some minor changes and how things react. Easy to learn.

Delphi, the borland created language. I believe its a follow up form pascal. Its alsoa click and drag sort of thing, but it is reallly powerfull as well. It can do certain stuff that vB cant.

If you need a web language to create werbsites with, go for PHP. You can use a MySQL backend and be on your way, the online help is very broad and the PHP manual is really good.

If you need a language to write a program in that is supposed to have windows and you need to have something done quick, learn Delphi, its a powerfull language.

If you want to do some console programming for *nix, perl or sh programming is the way to go. perl is a really strong language that can do a lot and still have small programs that are nice and easy to create.

Want to learn how to make small fast and hard to write programs take C++, its a hugely used language and can do a whole lot that perl cant accomplish, plus since its compiled its a whole lot smaller and faster.

thanks guys

i feel i can start with php and i can learn some ASP script at the same time as many hosts in china run under WINDOWS IIS5:)

perl, its ultimate weapon is that powerful regex. although you can find regex in php (adapted from perl), perl will perform better if you want to build a search site.

Well said, you seem to be a hardcore programmer. :)

i think we can consult programming problems with Mr. X-Istence...:)

[Antonio]

mmm i feel X-Istence is quite good at programming:)
