Ishi Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 It'll be good to try. I study C and C++ but I'm not that good in them. I guess I have a long term math problem. I love computer maintenance tasks. Some of my favorite programs: Wordpad -basic word processing Notepad - temporary clipboard and basic scripting module Windows Media Player 12- video, music and online radio player Windows Media Center - live TV, local FM radio CCleaner- handy computer maintenance tool If something fails to work after using the registry cleaner, use SYSTEM RESTORE.

I hate parenthesis, brackets and braces like that off of the C Languages. That's why i chose to study PHP. Oh.... No fate but what we make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWebAtom Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I hate parenthesis, brackets and braces like that off of the C Languages. +1. I'm into VB.NET mostly, but I'm a bit of a PHP fan too I'm Shane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ident Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 +1. I'm into VB.NET mostly, but I'm a bit of a PHP fan too I love vb personally. It grew on my from a young age when msn chat rooms where open around 1999. My dads friend made on my behalf the authentication to connect to msn's gatekeeper. Then the rest i learned my self. Good old vb6. That lead me on to connecting mIRC to msn chat rooms. So that was my first scripting language. Picking up vbscript was easy. Mixed that with html obviously. I started learning asp.net but did not really like the syntax. So now i just stick to vb.net and started php. I need to learn xml better though for vb.

TheWebAtom Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I've found that vb.net has really sucky XML support, compared to other languages I've used - such as Java. Sometimes it baffles me. ActionScript (2) is a neat language to learn too, mostly because you can't actually break anything while testing. I recently learned it to build an "App Store," the thing sucked and the language is really messy, but really easy to get your head around. It's also light on the parenthesis, so it's a good place to start if you want to progress to C based languages. I'm Shane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Nergal Posted October 18, 2010 Moderators Share Posted October 18, 2010 This is awesome, it's actually how I got started in computers. programming games and logo programs in basic on a commodore 64 from a magazine. ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Aethec Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I think C# is awesome, because it hasn't got the downsides of C/C++ (pointers, malloc, and so on), and has great things (WPF, LINQ, and others). Once you get used to Lists and their LINQ extension methods, it's hard to use arrays again I hate scripting languages - I know a little bit of JS but all those vars with no type are really ugly...

I know a little C# myself, but I'm trying to fully learn it at the moment. Unfortunately, Microsoft's default programs for doing this are much too expensive. Any suggestions?

Kaxaml used to be great to learn XAML (what WPF and Silverlight are based on) without coding, but I don't know if it still works with Silverlight 4: http://www.kaxaml.com/ Another free editor is SharpDevelop: http://www.icsharpcode.net/opensource/sd/ Piriform French translator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunerz Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 yes wtf u quoting me 4 How come you "..hate parenthesis, brackets and braces like that off of the C Languages" and prefer PHP, when PHP itself is influenced by such language? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
