If you want to "be a programmer" and learn lots of languages, learning C first will make everything else easier. That's my understanding anyway, I don't know C. The choice of language would change based on your goals if they are less general (and less involved) than that, but most of them are interpreted languages instead of compiled ones. Depending on what you want to do, perl, python, php, java, or ruby could all be valid choices, as could a handful of others. ~Ben --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
