Well in terms of power or what? If its in terms of power than its C/C++ because you can do ANYTHING with them. They're so much faster compared to VB and anything else. Also you can work with OpenGL and DirectX with them.

i want to start learning programming...but dont know which one...thinking about C++ or JAVA...which one is easier to learn?

PHP was built on C and C++. I like PHP because its free and works well with an amazing database, MySQL.

PHP is only a web scripting language it's no good for computer programming

ASP is the worst scripting language for the web

Perl and Python are very good for web and computer programming

Java ... tooo slow

Basic and Pascal are died

C/C++ are the BEST computer pogramming languages


bye

Php is good for web devolping but for computer programming has too limitations
C/C++ and Perl are very powerful in computer programming and sometimes Perl is also a good web scripting language

I'm kinda a newbie to webdesign...I like regular html X_X

Though java is pretty nifty!

hm, we should all draw a clear line between scripting and programming.
asp & php are scripting languages, just like javascript.
they are not compiled and thus are by definition slower than real programming languages. they are not meant to be hyperfast either, they should just be easy to learn and be very compatible.
java is cool because everyone can use your program. the ability to make web-applets is nice to.
i learned programming to c++ and i would advise this to everybody. c++ is a very powerfull language. it's a bit discouraging that you're only writing command line programs in the beginning, no visual stuff. but once you know c++, you know it all: php, java, javascript, shellscript, awk,...

vb is really shitty. i hate programming vb.
vb.net is better, but still sucks
asp sucks, just like vb.
asp.net is pretty ok. it's very cool that you can use c# instead of vb.net, cause c# is pretty cool. it's something between java & c, my two favourite languages.
c is very cool if you want to do some network programming.

to answer to the question: i'm doubting between c++ & java.
c++ is faster i guess, but it's harder to learn visual stuff, while in java, it's really easy to do visual programming. on top of that, java is multiplatform, so 'ill answer... java!

I started learning perl recently.
because I'd like to write application using it. . .would it be possible??
because I never heard that before.
but I think it's as same as php. or it's a web language only??

perl is a programming language. you have perlscript too, which isn't.. compare it to java & javascript

I think that everyone would like to know how many people write programs in the same language he writes.Let's VOTE !
