What is everyone's favorite programming language (HTML is not programming)? I prefer Python. It is a simple language that, although graphics can be tricky, is easy to learn, and is capable of network and internet programs, such as e-mail. It can handle any kind of file that uses text, and is capable of calling functions from other Python programs without having to define them. I am posting this because I need to learn more programming languages, as I plan to make a site that sells programs.

Python for me as well, although in some ways i prefer C++.

I dont like the way you use tabs in python instead of curly brackets. I would much prefer that. And python is interpreted as well, whereas C and C++ can easily be made into programs that you can run on everything.

PHP all the way for me. ;) I can't do anything else, even though it's not programming. XD

I actually prefer the tabs in Python, it looks much cleaner and there are fewer syntax errors that way. Is C++ an easy language to learn? Or at least to begin learning? Because I know it is very powerful, and I want to know how to use it.

I am well versed in Java and it is good but there are some quirky things about it. There's nothing like the old C style programming :P I will be taking some assembly language next year which is really gonna be interesting as you are manually manipulating the memory locations and such.

So probably C and Java right now.

I tried learning C++ on my own once before on a website.

I think I lasted 4 minutes :|

To be annoying and so coders can feel special cause they know a language normal people don't. 8)

I'm messing with Java so yea, i'd say that for now.

C++ is quite easy with the basic stuff, however you get to a certain point and think "woah..." and it gets a lot harder very suddenly, especially if you are learning on the internet.

If you're going to learn C++, DONT use a web tut. Use a book. Books explain stuff in more detail normally, and its easier to make that transition from "oh this is easy" to "Woah..." difficulty.

If you want to know how to be 73h 1337 h4x0r, C is a good language. It is very powerful. C++ is easier to learn, but slightly less powerful.

Assembly is very powerful, but can be very difficult to use, and there are probably more than a hundred variants of it. Each variant for each kind of motherboard.

Anubis, try learning VB, you might like it. Its quite like english. I personally hate it, but thats probably because it only works on Windows, whereas Python, C, C++, etc, etc are all platform-independant.

I would like to learn Beatnik, but its **** difficult.

This is a variant of the standard "Hello world" program, the program that says "Hello world" then closes itself. Except this one says "Hi" then closes itself:

Code:
Baa, badassed areas!
Jarheads' *****.
Queasy nude adverbs!
Dare address abase adder? *bares baser dadas* HA!
Equalize, add bezique, bra emblaze.
He (quezal), aeons liable.  Label lilac "bulla," ocean sauce!
Ends, addends, duodena sounded amends.

Yeah, I was going to try and learn some C# next year, plus my friend found a site that tells how to program X-Box games with C++ 8)

Also, for Java, do I need to download a special compiler?

For Java, yes you do.
You can use Eclipse IDE which I think is slow. I just use the official Java SDK compiler.

For Java IDE's I've used BlueJ. It's nice and simple, to the point... Eclipse has too much stuff in it.. There's also netbeans which comes with the JDK. I like BlueJ for simplicity though.
