i wont call anyone a tard wrangler this time, especially on the shitty subject of VB.  Tip one, stay away from VB.  Tip two, stay away from microsoft programming languages.  Tip three, stay away from microsoft for any type of system/application development.  Tip four, PHP rules.  If you want a scripting language take a look at PHP.  PHP RULES!

I've checked PHP out and isnt that for websites?  I've been using HTML and CSS on my crappy site which his located here and I know of two sites made by one guy Charles who's a self proclaimed "PHP Magician" DTIS & Charleschadwick.com.

Though I'll look into PHP being a programming language.

voidmain:
You are correct, PHP is for web programming and you would not use it for a standalone application. Equivelant to ASP on MS servers but it is portable between any NIX or MS server, unlike ASP.  Sort of like the difference between C/C++ and Visual Basic for applications.  PHP is not what you want for the question that you asked, but the only thing that he said right about PHP is that it is very good, I love it for web programming.

Ok so I've checked out all the programming classes and the next one I can take is "Programming in C" and the next in row is "Programming in C++"  

But I've found that all the software for programming is MS.  Like it's all in "Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0" and it has the different programs of ".. in Visual Basic 6.0" or ".. in C++ 6.0" and ".. in InterDev 6.0"  But it's all MS software!

I know that the C++ and C isnt different if in a MS program and unfortunately I'm stuck at SPSCC which doesnt have a wide choice of computer classes that I'm interested in.

Well if you are just doing basic programming and some console applications C is just C,  not much that is OS specific.

It is traditional to learn C then C++........and VB is often used as a "first language".

If you really want to learn Unix programing just install Linux and use the gcc.....lots of web pages out there that can help you get started using gcc once you have learned C.

I always say....a conditional is a conditional, and a while loop is a while loop .......pretty much the same in any language.

Once you have mastered one language it is much easier to learn others.

Good Luck
