What should i learn? - 3r3bus - 07-26-2011
Hey,
I am wondering what would come in more handy, Python or C or C++.
I have done some Python programming, although I would like to know which one would come in the most handy?

I am serious about learning one of those although am not sure. I have done some python programing some time back so ima little rusty. Although i would like to know which one would come in the most handy? even if you would like to suggest another language that would be fine to
From what I have seen, C++ is much better then C. I don't know much about Python though. It all depends on what you want to do.

Yeah i think i might start learning C++ any 1 disagree?

I am just wondering, what are you mainly planning on coding?

Well i am not quite sure. I am just looking for a good language to code in.

C++ that's for sure (and my favorite
)...
RE: What should i learn? - chipp - 08-02-2011
just for info: cplusplus.com for learning c++
RE: What should i learn? - TeraByTe - 08-02-2011
Learn C++! It's the best IMO
RE: What should i learn? - 3r3bus - 08-02-2011
Thanks for da advice, will start learning it soon. Thanks

If you learn C++, you'll basically also learn C, because it's a subset of C++.
Generally C++ is like C extended with object oriented programming, though there are also some subtle differences in the C subset of the C++, but nothing major. This also makes C++ backwards compatible: most C programs are also valid C++ programs.
If you're interested about reverse engineering and disassembling, then pure C might be easier because of less bloat. Also C still might be preferred when programming some embedded devices with very limited resources, but I guess you're going to program PC's. And like I said, if you learn C++, you'll also know C's syntax (because it's part of C++) so it won't be a problem in the future.
It's very powerful general purpose programming language, that's closer to the machine code than many other high level programming languages, but that also makes it more difficult to master and more error/bug-prone, but again, gives you a lot of power over your program and high performance.
Python might be more useful for beginners and smaller projects, because it's easier to use and its syntax enforces good code indentation which increases readability of the code, while in C/C++ code indentation and organization is purely optional.
It's also good to learn both languages (though probably one at the time), but once you know one of them, you can adopt the other one much faster, because you'll find a lot of constructs familiar (I'm not sure now if you already know some programming language).
