Which programming language should i learn

13 New Member
I'm currently in the final year of my b.tech . I'm quite comfortable with c/c++, now i want to learn some application oriented programming language which can be used to get things done. I tried java for few days, but it didn't seem to arouse any interest...need help from experts.
thanks

anything which can peak your interest towards coding. hey, you got to be patient with java. It's the best application based programming language out there.

C and C++ are obviously the stepping stones but Java is the best utility and most sought after application oriented language.

it also depends on what your application needs to do. no one programming language is the best at everything. Java is pretty great because of its portability but that shouldn't be the only reason for choosing it as the language you want to learn. Like some of the other peeps said, try a few and see what floats your boat

I agree with @rotaryfreak. Really think about what type of applications you want to develop and then focus on an appropriate language which is well suited and used in that area. E.g. I'm a GIS Developer. I specialize in writing ESRI ArcGIS applications. I program in C# and Silverlight. Previously I worked as a analyst developer where we wrote CRM and Machine Rental Systems. There I programmed in VB.Net.

Try Prolog. Its latest version is Visual Prolog but you can learn the essence of the language from the PDC Prolog.

I'm curious about something... many Artima.com members who have a Java background and learned Python have come to the conclusion that Java and Python are highly complimentary languages. They would never consider filling the place Java has in their toolbox with Python, but recognize there are many tasks where it really pays to add Python to the mix. I want to ask you hard-core c.l.p Pythonistas: Do you use Python for everything? (and...

I've been programming in C++ for a few years now. At one stage, I had a great deal of it very fresh in my mind.

I've been utilising C for lots of small and a few medium-sized personal projects over the course of the past decade, and I've realised lately just how little progress it's made since then.

I can no longer understand why anyone would willingly use C to program anything but the lowest...
