I want to learn more different programming languages

I've finished the javascript course on www.codecademy.com, and I was thinking of learning a new language. I'm still young, so I thought I should keep open on other things, not just web development. Can you suggest any languages I could learn and make fun projects with? Thank you for your time!

Solution 2

As RyanDev has suggested, C# would prove useful ... it can cross between web and desktop and server environments. VB.NET in a similar fashion - my preference is for C# but that is largely a personal preference - but as you are "still young" it should work for you too :)

Getting some good database knowledge is definitely a good idea. Learning T-SQL covers a lot of options, SQL Server obviously but MySQL and SQLite (etc) are very similar, and Oracle or DB2 are just a step different.

After that ... well try looking at jobs that are being offered in your location - see what is popular and go for that!

One really, really serious word of advice though ... avoid VB6 (also known as Classic VB). It is still being taught (I would not pay money to those colleges), it is still being used commercially (*sigh*) but it really is "old hat" - you will be better off learning something that has a future and will continue to be developed/used.

With anything, try to gain as much knowledge/expertise as you can without knowing a little about a lot - it has its place, but try to become an "expert" before moving on

Enjoy, and good luck

Sorry, i'm not that familiar with how c# works, but from the other answers, they say I need to learn .net too? Is .net another programming language? Do I need windows 8?Also, what can I make with c#? Sorry again for all the questions :/

Sascha Lefèvre 30-Mar-15 19:31pm

.Net is a very wide term for interrelated things. At its core it's a programming platform and framework supporting multiple programming languages. C# is one of them, VB.Net another one, F# yet another one. If you want to learn C#, you will have to learn about .Net in general for the same reasons you also need to learn about HTML, CSS, jQuery and whatnot when learning JavaScript: The programming language (be it C# or JavaScript) can't do a whole lot on its own, it needs the ecosystem around it (.Net, resp. HTML, CSS...). With C# you can develop desktop applications, client-server applications, mobile apps... And theoretically Windows XP would do. Windows 7 recommended.

Thanks for the help! I found a course for c# game programming with XNA, I think I'll get interested.

What happens if I had a mac? I did some researching, and it seems that c# does not work on a mac.
Could you suggest any other programming languages to learn?

CHill60 31-Mar-15 17:29pm

Sorry ... Mac's not my "thing" - I'll leave that for others to respond ;-)

Solution 3

Probably you should consider learning .NET[^] framework; C# as language[^]. It would be fun programming .NET applications. To be noted, these are high-level languages. Since you've already learnt JavaScript, learning Java[^] would also benefit you... For programming Android applications[^].

For low-level language, you should consider C++ to be learnt[^] and other languages might include SQL[^] (for databases).

I was thinking and I thought to myself that most schools( including college), teach Java, so I thought that I wouldn't need to learn Java now, do you agree?

Afzaal Ahmad Zeeshan 30-Mar-15 17:32pm

Yes, I do. You should focus on any one of them and learn it... :)
