Which language is the best for genetic programming?

Which is the best programming language?

  • I am 16, and looking into going into computer science in college. I would like to learn a programming language while I am on summer break. Which programming language has the best outlook and use?

  • Answer:

    If you are major in Computer Science, you will learn C, so you could get a head start. However, C is a procedural language and not OO. Almost all application development now days is done using OO languages like Java and C#. Most jobs are using Java and .NET. Most jobs using C are very often for embedded systems (which is cool and assuming you like that). Once you learn C and C++, everything else seems much easier (as far as the language). Now learning the framework (such as the Java packages or .NET takes much longer).

C probably has the best outlook, but if you're looking for something to learn, try Python. A lot of the concepts are basically the same as C/C++, but the syntax is a lot nicer. It allows you to learn how to program without the complicated syntax getting in the way. --Additions-- And don't learn BASIC. It will teach you AWFUL habits.

Learn C or C++

C It's never going away and is the basis for a lot of things.

C++.

Personally, I started with Java, and it's a great language for beginners to build up basic concepts. You want to start with a language that's easy to learn and teaches you the important concepts that can be applied to other languages. Java is the way to go.

There are two programming languages that are really worth looking at. C# and Java. C# is a very Microsoft way of going, while Java runs on multiple operating systems and has lots of open source projects. C# is starting to have open source projects, but it's not as vast as C#. Program Java or C#. The rest of the languages will come after that...HTML/CSS, SQL, XML/XSLT...these aren't quite programming languages, but are extremely useful. Oh, and learn Regular Expressions (RegEx).

Focus on learning a language that uses an object oriented paradigm (model/methodology). It will have more immediate commercial viability. For example: Java, Visual Basic. They both have global applicability for database and web development. Java, for example, is platform (OS) independent. I have been in the industry long enough to tell you not to waste your time with 'C'!

C++ or Java not very difficult very good for beginners
