Thread Rules
1. This is not a "do my homework for me" thread. If you have specific questions, ask, but don't post an assignment or homework problem and expect an exact solution.
2. No recruiting for your cockamamie projects (you won't replace facebook with 3 dudes you found on the internet and $20)
3. If you can't articulate why a language is bad, don't start slinging shit about it. Just remember that nothing is worse than making CSS IE6 compatible.
4. Use [code] tags to format code blocks.

What about the most major of them : P. Like C#, C++, Python, PHP, Visual Basic, Java... the most prevalent .

Then you've got stuff like "my favorite compiled language is C++, my favorite scripting language is PHP, and my favorite byte-code language is Java". Too many!

Hmm. Well, obviously some languages fill other purposes than others...

Perhaps you could categorize it somehow instead ?

C#, Java
Ruby, Python
Haskell, ML, F#

...

We need more biologists in computer science since they know how to classify things! Some sort of poll would be interesting anyway. Perhaps, "what language do you use most frequently?".

LINQ is a pretty damn nifty feature. There's a nice blog article pertaining to the cartesian product you're essentially after, but I'll have to get you the link tomorrow at work. It's a bit more than what you need, but it was an interesting read. The jist of it, iirc, was how to go about performing the cartesian linq when you don't know how many sets you have.


Here's the aforementioned link:

Alright lol! I'll just assume everyone on TL likes C++ the best then... because it is (jk). From now on I shall only communicate in C++ on TL.

On the scene of every interview I am in:

"I noticed you mentioned Scheme on your resume.."

"Oh, yeah, we had a class in that for a semester. It was pretty confusing."

Let's not forget MIPS ant 8086 assembly. Those are definitely the best languages to use for any purpose at all.

I work in PHP and javascript atm. For web and RAD I want to get more into Python well because, it's a bw map and my experience/exposure to the language has been very positive. Knowing a moderate amount of C++ would a huge bonus...

LMFAO!

I've been developing for the web for a while now (10 years?). If you're looking to get into the back-end stuff I'd still recommend PHP as a starting point right now. I feel that languages like Python and Ruby are poised to take the crown of most commonly used language from PHP eventually, but right now it is the most widely supported, documented and easiest to get started with.

Most web hosts run PHP by default so you can find them cheaply. Python (using Django) is done nicely but has a host of small issues in terms of support. You will likely have to have your host make some adjustments in order for you to get it running, if at all. Ruby (via Rails) has more support but as previously mentioned the current implementation is resource hungry and has scalability issues related to that. I like Django over Rails personally though I like Rails Active Record over Django's ORM (Datbase handling layer). PHP has a slew of widely used frameworks though my hands down favorite is Code Igniter (http://codeigniter.com/).

Another problem with learning Djano is that there are not a lot of tutorial/screencasts relevant to the current version. A lot of their screencasts are outdated and I like watching screenies to get a quick overview of how the Framework works. Frameworks are invaluable assets for a Web Developer as they handle a lot of the lower-level business logic that you will use from site to site (RSS Feeds, Administrative interfaces, Session handling, Caching, etc.).

I don't think PHP is the best language out there right now, but it is the best STARTER language currently.

Im sorry if the following post is unappropiate for this thread. I don't know where else to ask for this:

I've been having trouble with gdiplus.dll; the file is, most likely, corrupt. I wanted to ask someone in the community who runs on Windows XP for a copy of this .dll to install onto my system32 folder.

Thanks in advance.

Again- Im sorry if this isnt the thread. I read the OP and it didnt seem that far fetched to ask for this here.
Through high and low, bisu boy, through high and low.
