See the Language Selector for a test to see what languages you might be interested in learning.

Purpose:

Give some advice on what programming language(s) to learn based on various factors
To end the debate, because we all know that if it is on the web, it must be true.Notes:

The advice found here isn't set in stone. It is mostly my opinion and advice, that was formed by my interactions with other programmers and my experiences in learning.
Each language links to the One True Source's article on them.
There are thousands of programming languages, the ones listed here are well known, but there are many more.available LANG options:
Assembly

C

C++

Erlang

Forth

Fortran

Java

Lisp

Perl

PHP

Python

Ruby

Shell

Maybe his server has not set mime type properly and IE is too intelligent. Ask your dad to use firefox or opera.

So, they expect firefox to damage the system? tell them it's an anti-malware since IE attracts a lot of malware and using firefox prevents it.
