Hi What is the more appropriate programming language to use for Linux --perhaps one suitable and sufficently developed for Linux and Windows. I have learned a litle Turbo C++ in the past. But it seems it a language more for DOS and Windows that Unix or Linux. I read somewhere that C is a more suitable language to learn. The point is that I have been learning, quite satisfactorily HTML, and all the more after hearing what Enriko had to say. My success and enthuasism here is due to it being of use in developing web pages. I can see its use and how I can use it. With the general programming languages I cannot see the sense in learning if there is no reason why I should learn it. I dont want to go through a learning process that involves writing elementary useless programmes that of no benefit to me. If I could see the use of a language I would have less difficulty about it. Enriko has added to my views as to why I should create and develop my own web pages by hand using the html code. Now makes sense to the exercise. Because immediately I can start working on my web pages. If programming was shown to be more immediately relevant perhaps more people would learn it etc. Thanks you for assisting me in various ways. I have been learning from your responses.
