Actually, best bet is to experiment with a lot of languages. Programmers are typically only really good with a couple of languages, but can quickly pick up the basics of any. Everyone should learn C Everyone should learn an assembly language so you understand what actually happens against bare metal Pick one... Perl, JavaScript, Python, Ruby... Pick one of Objective-C, C++, and/or some enhanced Pascal Pick one of Java, C# XSLT Scheme Forth Not saying it's wise to use all of these on every corporate project that comes along, but you'll be a better programmer for having a breadth of knowledge of programming languages -- John. _______________________________________________ LinuxUsers mailing list LinuxUsers@socallinux.org http://socallinux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxusers
