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.
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.
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.
Delphi: (Advantage: Very fast programming and very easy, too hard to debug so too hard to crack because there are lots of procedures and calls) (disadvantage: high size exe file) C++: (Advantage: Lots of programming language and including web programming language (php,perl, javascript etc...) similar to this language, a powerful toy )(Disadvantage: more complex then delphi and visualbasic) Visual Basic: (Advantage: Too easy and visual, and also ASP(Active Server Pages) language is very similar to this language)(Disadvantage: You must write more codes then the other programming languages)
My selection on exe file programming is DELPHI on web programming is C++ related PHP
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.
I'm getting a computer and I don't know which one I should get. I play games on the computer
(downloading ones), and I listen to music with my IPod. If I download games, I want to have room for

currently the computer I have is my sister's. The computer is slow and has only one game
currently. I would want to know the best gaming computer I should get with a cheap price. I
don't know what the highest price I could spend on it is. All I need is a tower, I have eve....

Hi, it's my birthday at the beginning of May (8th), and I expect to get roughly £250 or $500. I
was wondering if anyone knows of any what-you-would-call good deals on a computer. However, if you

the US, for example, remember shipping to the UK. Anyway, I want as a minimum of Dual Core

coding needed for this, but not sure what. I'm thinking it has something to do with php(no clue
what that is), but I'm not sure. Any help and input would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks in

I have read in a lot of forums about the importance of this component. And with regards to my
problem of the computer restarting while playing games, this could very well be the reason but I
can't confirm anything. When I bought my graphics card Winfast A6200 TD, a minimum of 400w
output was needed from the psu and that was I had. But is the psu actually causing the problem of my
computer restarting? That the psu does not have enough power to handle the functions of the graphics
card? I was playing PES 6 (Pro Evolution Soccer 6) and everything seemed fine until i....

Although we all hate computer viruses, it has now become a fact of life in day to day computing,
especially for those of us using the windows operating system. So here is what you have to do if
you are unfortunate enough to encounter one. 1)If you are connected to any network, make sure you
disconnect from that network and pull out the network cable as you don't want the virus to
spread throughout the network. 2)If you have an anti-virus software installed, run it. If you
don't have it installed, borrow a cpoy from friends or family or purchase it. 3)Keep run....

I recently got a new computer, a NEC i-Select D5410. A few days ago it started to randomly crash,
and all inputs and outputs were cut. The monitor displayed "No Signal", the keyboard and mouse
stopped working and the speakers cut out, yet the power light remained on, and the fans were still
spinning. Opening the DVD and CD drive still worked, so it isn't a power or mobo failure, as far
