Hello. I'd like to ask for some guidance, if possible. I'm thinking of signing up for a programming-related course, but am unsure what to go for. One friend tells me to go for Java or Visual C+, maybe even COBOL. He says it's what currently in vogue. I'd prefer C or C++, for various reasons. I'm reading a beginners book on C and while I can't say I grasp everything yet, I feel it's not outside my capabilities. The course is not too expensive, but I wouldn't like to waste time and money in something not worth it. I'm not in the computer business, but would like to be in the future, as a programmer. I use an uncommon platform (AmigaOS) and would like to develop for it (C and C++), especially since there are few programmers left, but could branch out to more mainstream stuff. I'm getting too old and want a desk job. ;)
So, can you tell what languages should I aim for? I know this is probably a too broad subject, but some basic guidelines would be welcome. Thanks in advance. Bye, Nuno
