C++ would be a good choice. Its the most powerful,base of programming.

[Techmastro]

Yes go for c/c++ it will be a good choice.
books by Yaswant karnitkar are very useful.
alternatively u can go for java or oracle

[imprince]

i think C is basic language , if u have tight grip on C thn u can learn every language easily ? go for basics first thn every language will come to ur way itself ----( my view )
i refers "LET US C" book for C language

Han if u want to do any other thing in computer filed thn i'll suggest u to go after CISCO's cirtifications ? computer networks having better future

[khandu]

yeah learn C.. get that kanitkar book.. then go for C++ and then u can go beyond to RHCE / CISCO / MCSE etc...

dear i think one can get these certifications(CISCO / MCSE /RHCE ) without having knowledge of C or any other language !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

example is here (ME) ...... i got CCNA and CCNP and having good knowledge about MSCE and RHCE ....

This is a rare case. C is very very very powerful.I read in the Skoar magzine that vast knowledge of C is required for a gaming programmer.
N everywhere C is used. I heard that even the Drivers r written in C language (mebbe C++,C#) n many softwares r designed in C language.
C have a very vast application.

DEARRRRRRRRR ,, :roll: Do NOt gey away from the point ,,
v r not discusing here about GAMES or DRIVERS ,,,,,
im agree dat C is very powerful , even ke i says C is very very very powerful language BUT
read post very carefully v were disscusing about CISCO / MCSE /RHCE Certifications ????????????
Once again i say that THERE IS NO NEED OF C Language TO GET CISCO / MCSE /RHCE Like Certifications
hey listen im not trying to cut ur point , do not feel that im against u ,, but its my view and its truth

[«TechnoPhile»]

The Future Is Java... Period.

[deathvirus_me]

that depends on what u want to do ...

for a professional path : java (including jsp)+xml .... the most powerful combination u can think of

for a gaming profession : c# + direct3d coding + some 3d animation software like 3dstudio max,maya etc ...

For some help with reference books u can mail me at deathvirus.me@gmail.com

[imprince]

If ur newer to any language thn u must go for basics .. and no language would be having best priority thn C . if u r master in C thn u can go for C++ , C# or any language , my friends are saying in this post ..

[blacklight]

hi this is to clarify a point already made !

yes ! it is true that one does not require knowledge of languages like c,c++ for getting certifications like MCSE,CCNA .

BECOZ these certifications are related to the hardware and networking field.they teach u how to interact and troubleshoot the hardware involved.
when u talk of c and programming languages , u r writing programs - which is basically software.

Even in software u can classify software as either system software or application software .

system software is software which interacts with the hardware ..like ur drivers

while application software is used for applications (utility software like tally or a simple calculator. )

So ultimately what language to learn depends on what u want to excel in .
if u r into application software , then learn java and other application languages but if u into system side programming , i suggest u start with c.

[expertno.1]

well if u r a beginner and want to learn something about programming then go for c++

and i think if u wanna more then go for java
java is future dude

[imprince]

yeh !! yehi to main samjha raha tha kabse , tnx friends

[q3_abhi]

imprince, i understood now what u mean to say.I was getting confused.

so tweety_bird_bunny now did u make ur mind ?
which language u r going to learn ?[/b]

Hey, I would recommend VB for a beginner. VB, though not used for sophisticated things, will let you have fun learning to code. I haven't seen beginers having fun learning c/c++. So start with that and then move onto object oriented programming like C++ and java. Then you will know C just by reading some book on it because ther is only a few restrictions in C compared to C++.
After this, java and .net are trifles. You will understand them very fast with the base of languages that you have. Also try python. I am sure it will be captivating.

There are other things like ruby, camel, mono, rotor, etc. Forget about them. Once you have the above mentioned pre-requisites, you will know which one to learn next.

Regarding certifications, my friend's uncle's friend was taken into cisco (some high-level tech job) even though he had no cisco certification. AFAIK, certifications are tertiary compared to your record and ability.

The secret formula to learn new languages is: "If a programming language doesn't alter the way you think about preogramming then it is not worth the time to learn it." --By forgot-his-name
(That, and your work's requirement)
