what should i learn

[whit]

Because you Love Computer...?

Well
First Start with Visual Basic and then try to use C++.
That how i get started

Why Vb...?

[cosconub]

Batch, Vb.net, c#,c,c++,Asm

thats the order i did it not including

ruby html php java css perl

vb.net is worthless he wants to make hacks lmao ? C++ Optional (d3d,opengl)
if you want to release other shit b4 others and make your own ideas alsolearn Assembly and reverse enginering to get your own addies

Actually, Java is a great language. Maybe not for hacking combat arms, but video games are only a miniscule part of computer science. And even then you can make your own games (runescape for example).

The reason Java is a great language to learn, especially for a career, is because:
1. It works on all platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac, etc.)
2. It is used extensively throughout the internet
3. You can make apps for cell phones*
4. Cell phones are programmed with Java
5. Cars are programmed with Java
6. The syntax is very similar to C++, so it makes it easier to learn
7. You can make applet based video games - similar to how d3d is used
8. You can make desktop applications - similar to VB/C#

There are a lot more I just can't think of anymore off the top of my head right now.

Java is a relatively newer language that is based off of C/C++ and is rapidly expanding it's capabilities.

*There is someone I know that made $120,000 last year making cell phone apps. He is 15. Get the picture?

As a side note I find VB a "meh" language, but it does have its uses.

Learn VB, first.
Easiest and it'll let you get the hang of things (Y)

[mmbob]

pff... Learn TI-BASIC, then you'll know basic program structure and how to optimize your code.

[cruizrisner]

VB is crap lol
Java is slow and i really dont like it
C++ is ultra powerful and great for perfomance code and is more difficult then other languages and if you know C++ then you will easily learn other languages. in fact learning C++ is like learning 2 languages at once, C++ and C, since C++ is just C optimized for OOP.
also it is a great idea to learn assembly, it really does make you alot smarter when it comes to computer science and programming.

Oh my god! TI Basic! I remember doing that when I was like in 6th grade! I made quite some few games for the calculator that were all over the school. I think a few of them are even on the internet.

This is STILL fucking open??

Vb Aint Crap...
Java Is Awesome Learning It In School Atm..
C++ Is The C&p ' D Language Of The World..

true dude i am taking java in school...
its also easy if you pay attention to teacher


Here is a greeting app made in java.
Really simple and small.

/**
 * The Greeting class displays a greeting.
 */
public class Greeting {  //start class definition

 public static void main(String[] args) {
  System.out.println("Hello, world!");
 }

}       //end class definition

[Kanye]

learn it all,, totally worth it.
