I enjoy programming myself. I mostly use C#, but I’ve dabbled in other languages, too. Anybody else? What project are you working on at the moment. ---

I know VB, but there’s no point to using it. Public schools need to stop teaching this waste of a language. If I had the extra time, I would totally learn C++ or something more useful. ---

If I had the extra time, I would totally learn C++ or something more useful. Are you referring to [VB.net](http://VB.net) or just plain vb. The .net version isn’t bad at all. [VB.net](http://VB.net) and C# are essentially the same, except they have a much different syntax. You do things the same way in both languages. ---

Python is so much easier than C. The nice thing about python is that it is really cross-platform, and it doesn’t take any effort to set up. However, the dynamic type system makes good IDE features hard to find. Any fellow C# people out there. Any functional people (i.e. F#, Haskell, etc.)? I actually really like functional programming. ---

I am studying computer engineering at university and I landed a pretty sweet software internship for this coming summer. I started with teaching myself Python in high school, took Java class over the summer at a community college, and then have been taking numerous courses once I got into my university. I’ve used a few other languages (although that doesn’t really matter), but when I just want to get stuff done, I tend to gravitate toward Python and C++. Overall, it’s been a pretty easy road so far and I don’t feel like I’ve been challenged enough in my programming courses. I really wish more of my classmates had started with Python because kids who started with Java or C++ usually have the worst indenting and formatting. The other thing that people completely miss is that they think that programming classes exist to teach you how to write code in a specific language. You want to learn to program, rather than learning to just write code. ---

(plus i can use my arduino board that way) In that price range I really recommend the raspberry pi over the arduino, or if you are willing to spend alittle more the beagle bone is really nice. I am really into linux/android mini PC’s. I have a custom build of XBMC on one of my pi’s makes for a very nice and cheap linux powered media player. There is a ton of cool projects you can do you those little guys. For instance the Pi phone lol.

> [@Yummy](#): > > …The other thing that people completely miss is that they think that programming classes exist to teach you how to write code in a specific language. You want to learn to program, rather than learning to just write code. So true. True programming is developing the logic to arrive at a result. Knowing the logic involved is independent of any language to implement it. Re FORTRAN > [@Philip](#): > > Old guy. Yea, probably so, but last I looked it was still one of the best for scientific/engineering stuff. ---
