Hi All, Was contemplating trying to learn a programming language and Jeff's offer of books kind of inspired a debate within...what language should I learn?
I am thinking of something related to web development. Keep in mind I am no programmer but I have worked a bit with SQL, JavaScript and HTML. I would eventually like to play with Java but I think that is a far way off yet. I would like something that ties into databases well, is fairly easy to learn and develop for and has a good grounding in the industry. If it is open source so much the better. I have talked to a few people and they say perl or python or something similar is good. But asking someone the best programming language is liking asking them what the best beer is. Any non-biased or "good case for" arguments or ideas anyone would care to share?
