Alright, time to finally settle down onto a programming language (Poll)

08/25/2011 01:09 xBlackPlagu3x#1
I've tested out a lot of languages.

A lot.

But I hate them all. Why? I can never get any better than the basics on each one.

Java Story:

Python Story:

C++ Story:

C# Story:

So what should I do? Pick a language from the poll and help me decided. Post comments on giving me tips on how not to quit the current language and keep pushing forward! Thank you.

C# is powerful while allowing rapid development, using the .Net framework you can have a server (for example) up in a matter of hours if you know what your doing.

Java is alright if you want to do cross-platform stuff although your still probably better off using C# or C++, Python is slow and has major threading issues, C++ is great if you have the large amount of time it requires to develop software in, but then theres the library issue which makes the whole thing abit of a nightmare at times.

These are my opinions of course, though alot of my opinions are based on material ive read.

Delphi is far more amazing than C++ at RAD. It's pretty much .NET, but native. So, I really wouldn't make fun of it :rolleyes:

Oh wow, I truly had no idea! I apologize for being ignorant DX

One question, what does RAD stand for?

Rapid application development.

Seriously, you learned about operators and variables in C++, then you moved to an RPG. Stuff doesn`t work like that. You need to learn about other concepts, start with the C part, learn about structs, arrays, I/O, pointers, etc, then move on to OOP concepts, there`s still a lot of missing skills in your set.

Like I said it wasn't a full, 3D RPG, it was just a text-line RPG using basic data storage and loops and cases and mathematics. I agree though, there is a ton missing from my skill set but I just can't grasp the concepts. Structs? I/O? Pointers? Yeah, I am missing a TON.

Lol @ Working with C++ and not knowing structs.

If you can`t grasp the concepts you either lack basic IT knowledge, or you aren`t able to think in code. This thread is pointless, you really don`t need a poll to help you choose where to settle down, you didn`t get into anything but a bit of C#. I suggest you to continue working with that, and hopefully you`ll get used to the way of thinking programming requires.

It's not either, I honestly think it's my lack of abstract thinking. I can code with HTML just fine, same with CSS and even PHP now. I can even code with AHK which is a scripting language for AutoHotKey but I'm pro with it. It's just when it comes to advanced stuff like using dlls and using wrappers and methods.

Well put up some list and take one point after one.

Really? I must've done this backwards then. I learned the OOP stuff way before I learned the I/O and pointer-logic.

First thing we had in college was OOP. :D

I began with oop too. My point wasn`t the order.
