Since this is an "I want to learn programming" topic let me ask experienced programmers a question: Is it better, when self-teaching, to start with a low level language like C, or a high level language like Java? I tend to suggest Java, so that you can learn good software design principles first. I don't really know if that's great advice. Java is a great starting place. People also can use Python as a good starting language, but it doesn't have as much mainstream adaption as Java. Not that I hate Python, just that when you look at how many 3rd party tools exist for Java compared to Python there is no doubt which one makes things easier for bigger projects. Once you learn the fundamentals with Java, transitioning to something like C/C++/C# is a lot easier. I've used python for creating GUI front-ends for existing software and it's unbelievably easy to get something up and running quickly, but when I tried using it to do a lot of number crunching it slows to a crawl. I also looked into file archiving libs and learned that they are terribly slow in python. I really like python for the simple, intuitive syntax, but I pretty much quit using it for anything other than simple scripts. Also python only took like two days to learn, so I guess that's a pro. --- http://i.imgur.com/NkZUeFd.gif <cite>kind9 posted [p:892674681] in Guys, I wa...
