Which should I learn?

Post by JelvinJS7 »

I finally installed Xcode—and eclipse. So now I can learn more programming languages. Teehee! :-) I'm evolving from web development. I hope to install gestures on my iPod without jailbreaking–if possible.
On my bucket list for languages are Java, C, C++, Objective C, and maybe/eventually Python and C#.
I'm curious to know which you guys think I should learn first. Based off ease of learning, and knowledge I've obtained from php/JS (my friend once showed me a C snippet of code, and I knew what it was based off its similarity to php).

So… thoughts? What's recommended?

Well, to what I understand it. PHP sort of gets compiled into C code anyway. Because you can write permanent functions in C which makes it more efficient. But dont quote me on that.

If your aiming for Objective-C. I'd probably start off with C, since Objective-C is an object orientated version of it pretty much. Obviously, with lots of APIs and such also.

I'd personally go for either Java or C++, but thats me.

What i did go with was Java, then Obj-C.
I don't like to brag, but I wasn't circumcised. I was circumnavigated. ;)

Want to learn something new? Or maybe reinforce what you already know? Or just help out? Please subscribe to my videos: http://goo.gl/58pN9

I think Python would be easiest as it's a scripting language and based on XKCD it has a reputation for being easy.

It terms of where to go from PHP, Java and C both have very similar syntax.
