which, in ur opinion is the only prgramming language one nee

[tuxfan]

The best way to find out is to go thru the job classifieds for some days and have a look at the demand from employers.

 

[#/bin/sh]

you have to start some where...
'c' is good path

 

[geekgod]

so, thnx to popular demands, i decide to conquer c(or die trying ). and as i wish to be self taught, i thought about following this pattern
gottfried->ritchie-kerningham->robert sedgewick->fiuer&fiuer.
what do u think of it?

 

[GNUrag]

does it mean that u prefer c over python

Yes of course.... C is the Grand Daddy of languages... i like python coz my work is in python only, but C still remains the grand daddy...

If you take oops features of c++ , platform independence of java, simplicity of python, ease of writing Perl..... then also, C still remains the grand daddy of all languages...

C rulez Man!!!

If all programming languages were represented as buildings then C would say...

"Hey! how weather down there"...

Yall are crazy....all u will ever need is Assembly, u dont need anything else if ur good at assembly.

all u will ever need is Assembly, u dont need anything else if ur good at assembly

But how long does it take to master Assembly!?! And even if you master it, there are so many things that you need to take care of while programming!! Learning and implementing something like C would be far easier. And when something like C satisfies all the programming needs, why should someone bother to go thru the trouble of learning Assembly. I don't think I will use an AK-47 if a plain simple revolver does my job

 

[sniper]

Well yes i do agree...but then the question says "the prog lang ull ever need" and the answer to it is indeed assembly

C indeed is the king.
But i wud prefer ne one to learn PYTHON b4 lookin at C.
In the B.E courses in Mumbai univ they teach pascal b4 C. Pascal is kinda old infact very old but too simple.One who knows pascal can master C easily.
But since pascal wud too elementary for ne one to learn another easy language wud be PYTHON man its wonderful simple though not in comparison with c one can master PYTHON in no time and also understand C better in a way.

You are talking about yr. 2000 and before... a lot has changed since then.. they've phased out Pascal from entire engineering syllabus...

Hi. Im an engineering student (se). Our syllabi covers very little of advanced c and c++. So i want to know where (as in which sites) can i find more info and useful codes. Im particularly interested in graphics using c.

 

[allajunaki]

My Opinion (If anyone cares to listen..)
C -> Essential Lang. (Hacker's weapon of choice)
C++ -> Object Oriented Progging Unleashed....
Java -> Do C++ and then do Java.. Object Orientation taken to whole new plane!!

Vc#/VB.NET -> Future Direction of progs...

Perl -> Best for Hacking Linux (Couple of scripts On my Linux machine to do vrious stuff i do using .exe files in Windows).

thanks for the link technomodel. it was very useful!
