which language programming is best?

i wanna to learn and use a language progarmming but i don't know which one is good and one of them is trash...
can you help me ?
i serach in google and sfind more than 2500 language programming but i can't select one of them . (LUA ,C ,EUPHORIA, or another one )
i wanna some lang. for windows linux and for pc interfacing ....
and for hobby make some software(maybe GAME and so on )
thanks for your help

Well that's a tricky one ,infact not a very right question.
The answer to this question would be subjective.

It depends on the individual, for eg. i love C and Basic for graphics and game programming. But i like VB for interfacing. Euphoria is also my choice ,when i want to experiments some changes.

But the opinions can be exactly opposite, my friend says Graphics in C is the invitation for the DEVIL , so he uses graphiX 2.0 version.

So just try some basic programs on some of them and find which one suits you best.

yes , your answer is good for all but i wanna use one language and i don't know differ of them and which is best.
maybe i must learn 2 or 3 language , yes ?
then can you tell me some good language programming ....

Hi,

Just start to learn C now and you'll never be disappointed .


Bye

ya c is the best to start and i will suggest go by K&R book only...

c language if u only need to write some sofeware code!

I know Pascal, VB and C. I agree with them who say C is good. It is more powerfull. After that I tried C++ (really visual C++: very complicated). Working with objects apparently is powerfull but needs a lot of time to learn.
So, to start I think C is good.

i highly recommand you C
it the most powerfull high language
u can use delphi too wich is similar but a little limited

regards

Yes, C language would be a good start. But it's up to you, to how deep you want to know the things.
But if you are curious to know how games are made, if you love to understand internals of machines, if you love speed&performance, if you feel tough enough... well don't hesitate to learn Assembly language.

Top 10 reasons why Pascal is better than C

1. Pascal, noble language as it is, was named after a famous French
mathematician and philosopher, Blaise Pascal. C was named after a
Sesame Street character.

2. Pascal's inventor, Nicholas Wirth, and parameter passing conventions
coalesce to form a nifty pun: You can pronounce his name by reference: Wirth
or by value: Worth. C was invented at Bell Labs, where they wouldn't know a
joke from a transistor.

3. There is only one Pascal, as defined by Wirth, while C has (shall we say?)
several fathers: Kernighan & Ritchie, Harbison & Steele, Barnum & Bailey, and
Laurel & Hardy.

4. In C, the following variable names are all different: thesame, TheSame,
theSame, and THESAME. Nuff said.

5. In Pascal, when you fool with a pointer or handle, you know you're fooling
around with a pointer or handle. In C, you could be fooling around with anything.
C is the ultimate language for computational promiscuity.

6. In Pascal, we *know* how big an integer is.

7. C is used by liberal, Democratic, Mike Dukakis types of programmers.
Pascal is a favorite of the GOP. Hey, we know what the big language at
Berkeley is, don't we?

8. C is the only language in the civilized world that still refuses to recognize
the $ sign for a hexadecimal constant and continues to promote that base
pretender to the throne: 0x00.

9. Pascal has well-defined rules for Scope, while C appears to be using Listerine.
This accounts for the medicine breath of many C programmers.

10. In C, you can do this:


In Pascal, you CAN'T do this :

:wink:

i agree with Cortex , _OuzO_ , hugo, feel_on_on etc that c is a very good language to start with

but once you have mastered it you should go on to c++ or some other object oriented programming language

hi,
in fact I think that for starting programming the best is Turbo Pascal or C. for me IK'm in love with C langage it's so puissant

c language is the best! so far....

C language is the best.I think.

I am can also recommended C programming, unix OS also written using C.And it base on Dos flatform. But it is little bit difficult. As my experience Visual Basic as easy than C.

I think C++ is the best for engineering.

Hi


I prefer:


Java
Perl
Matlab
C/C++


tnx

i suggest that u do c bcos it can be used easily for interfacing ( at least parallel port cos ive tried that )

Three basic steps:

1. DON'T USE BASIC, EVER.
2. Start with Pascal, learn it.
3. Migrate to C, C++, become a master.

There is no such thing as a 'good' programming language and a 'bad' one.

Different programming languages exist because they solve different problems.
C is the defacto language for System prgramming whereas application level development is best done in java or c++, whereas it is best to develop scientific apps in Fortran.
It depends on what your requirements are
