I would love to help out but what you are doing with your programming language is more important. Accounting uses languages that gamers can't use. Internet applications use languages on-board apps do not use. Operating system programmers can't use most languages because they are too slow.

So what are you studying to become?

Thank you for your concern.First,I have a great interest in hacking i.e ethical hacking which I think somehow it is accelerating my interest in programming.Therefore I think about internet applications as well as mobile apps.

Hi jonnmso and welcome to bytes.com!

If you're interested in web applications, some recommendations would be JavaScript, PHP and Java. I would also recommend learning about XML, bash and unix-like OSes (e.g. Linux) in general as these are commonly used in combination with webapps.

Concerning mobile apps, those are normally written in Java (Android), Objective-C (iOS), C# (WP8) or HTML5 and JavaScript.

In any case you should learn about networking protocols (e.g. IP, TCP, UDP,
DNS, HTTP, SSH, TLS/SSL, BitTorrent, ...) as these are the backbone to any data transport you'll be using.
