What Programming Languages Should I Choose? - taking AAS in Computer Information Sys

Shengeta
I have a question to ask all the programming proffesionals out there. I'm going to college this fall for AAS in Computer Information Systems, and I would like to know what programming languages should I go for? I like Visual Basic, but that is required, I was thinking Java, C++, and one programmer for the state said I should take Cobol but my mother says it is boring and for the lesser businesses or whatever. What do you guys think?

A friend if mine works for the State and soon to be in the private sector. According to what he's been doing, you learn Java only if you want to be a web programmer, because you cannot update or upload security patches using JAVA effectively. C++ and Visual Basic are very good to know when you need to take care of clusters of systems (make your own script to deploy bug fixing, automated updates and such). COBOL is getting to be out dated but there are some systems that heavily depend on this language because some State agencies don't have enough funds to upgrade to different language systems and supports.

But once you get there, according to my friend, it's not about what you know because the workers are so used to doing it on traditional, old ways that what you know isn't going to help you. It's who you know. They'll have their usual ways of doing things that you have to learn, what you already know, all over again.

Thenk you that is good information to know, so maybe I should not take COBOL then... I'll take C++, Java/HTML, maybe something like Javascript or something and Visual Basic. I guess if I just choose languages to do like these ones I should be able to do good after college then.

C++ JAva ASP is almost important i think..
to do a programme enginner you need know more and more languages i think
eg php jsp some thing like that.

Man so many languages!! lol, ok I can't take that many...so lets here I don't know, the most important 3 or 4 for now, then I'll learn the others in the future.

Write the top four each of you think I should use and tell me why, that way I can choose out of the many decisions I will have. Those will be the once I should do in the college and the rest for later on. Some classes I'm taking might have some programming languages in one, like HTML and Java.

HTML isn't a programming language, and JavaScript barely is. I wouldn't go for HTML/JS/PHP/ASP unless you're interested in web design, and few companies use that much Java. C++ is the most widely used I think, but it depends on what field you're in.

Some things about each:

JS/PHP/ASP are very linear languages. Like, they go from the top of the code to the bottom and that's pretty much it. However, if you're into webdesign, these are pretty important

Languages like Java, C, and C++ have more possibilities because you can have things like keylisteners and timers.

Java isn't used much because it's generally pretty slow, but it can be good for games. I think I also remember reading that Google was interested in hiring people who were really experienced with Java.

C and C++ are probably used most. They're relatively fast and can do a lot of things. Probably most of the programs on your computer are in one of the two.

In the end, it just depends what you want to do.

i think C+++ is good

but thats just my opion wounder wat u guys think well i think if u learn programing u can egt rich but u ever know cuz programing is key too hacking and *BLEEP* like u can program trojan or virus or something

My advice would be to take C++ and Java. Java is supposed to be the future language but both have their pros and cons. C++ is much quicker when dealing with complex calculations while java is better with a few other things. In the end, knowing both would be the most helpful since you can always embed one inside the other to utilize their most effficient parts.

I was thinking C++ and Java too, but besides them, what else? Java used in a few companies? I heard it was used everywhere I play D&D :cough: :cough: with a lot of programmers on sundays, and a couple of them work for the state, all say Java is really good and widely used, best for the web and most companies change to java.

Start from C, then C++ then JAVA. That is how you should go, if you learn java first and go backwards you will have problems when you get to C! wink.gif

My selection on exe file programming is DELPHI
on web programming is C++ related PHP wink.gif

I think what programming language should be learnt really depends on what you will do.
If you mainly deal with web technology, j2EE or asp.net will be the language you should know.

However, if you are doing the back-end stuff, you may have to know the faster language such as C and C++.

Actually, java and C++ are the language in different levels. Java is slower, as it have to run on JVM.
C++ can directly control the memory usage of the program. Java/JSP are developed mainly for Web application.
So, you should choose what you need.

Since you going to college to specialise in Computer Information Systems and you would like to know what programming languages should you choose to study, I advice you sincerly to study C++. Mastering C++ give you the ability to adpt yourself to use most of other language in couple of days. You can then switch to Java script and use Visual basic as well. Parallel to that you can use Jave and any future language. Who said the programming language has a limit. Cobol will be the easist one if any ask you to use it.


Once you master a strong langage as C++ you can swith to any other language using the guide after knowledge the advantages and limits for the other language
Best wishes

The main programming languages in need these days seem to be C++, Perl, PHP (as well as HTML), Java (in web programming). I'm currently learning a bit of PHP on the side myself.

    of (1280 * 800). For me I think these widescreen display should be the way to go, it allows you
    more space to do your stuff especially if you are doing some image editing, and that requires a huge
    amount of resolution size. There is an argument whereby you can increase your resolution to make it
    tinier so that you can have more space but then again, the problem with making the....
