Default Re: Dom-III PBEM manager

I have worked with C, CPP, Perl and Java (for RT, not J2EE).
Python, I've heard a lot about and decided to check it recently. I think its a superb language, elegant and consice and with a giant code base on the web.

So Nerfix, It all boils down to what you need done. C is best for performance, Java for web, Perl for information mining and Python for prototypes I use them all depends on what I need done, Oh and don't forgot to use VIM as your text editor

I think I should learn Java properly first. We had a longish course about it in the BC but we barely reached the objects. I studied it a bit in home but then schools started and work piled up on me. D: I did manage to program some sort of store software using objects & all with it though...

We'll have a course about PHP though and it's supposedly a lot like Java.

But studying a smitter of some easy to learn language that's still useful would be helpful in the future. i'm bizarrely interested in coding though I have recently heavily shifted toward HTML, CSS & all. Learning Javascript would propably be the next logical step.

Ahhhhh, so many choices....

It depends.
JavaScript is good if you are interested in doing more with what the user sees on their screen.
PHP is good if you want to do more with what goes on at the server end for providing services.

On a Dom3 website JavaScript would be good for making a god-creation tool people could play with.
PHP would be good for making a web-based game managment system

IMHO
