in thread C++, C# or Java

I am not looking for language because it's a great new language and has excellent features. I love Perl. I can do so many things in Perl readily. Similarly, I like to do with other language which has lots of ready made solutions available. My focus would more on accomplishing with the new language rather than 'learning the language' for the sake of its features.

    Amen. If you're looking for a new language to learn, why bother with something nearly identical?

    My recommendation would be assembly. It's quick to learn and if you play around with it enough you'll learn more than you ever thought possible about computing.

    Secondary recommendation (in case assembly doesn't peak your interest) would be Prolog. If you choose Prolog though, give it some time, there's more than what first appears. Just don't think everything that's written in it is "AI programming" (as so many do).

    Either way, enjoy.

    Then you need a language that can get you work, right?

    I recommend:

    Java, C++, C#

    You also need to lean some technologies if you want to get a job fast: such as web services, server programming and so on.

    what about XML?

    comments?

      I think Java is the way to go, although C/C++ is good for looking back at legacy code. A lot of my work changes old C/C++ into java (well mostly JSP). I agree with you on learning XML, but it is really pretty trivial to learn. I use JSPs to render all of my XML. I guess you could say I learned Java and then just picked up XML along the way.

    C# is the better choice , becuse now a days C# usage is very high and lot of people shifting from their current programming language to C#. So lets a try to C# if you want to lern very simply follow this csharp.net-informations.com , c# is Object opriented and very easy to learn. Vayne
