Which Language first?

(1/7) > >>

Master of Reality:
This is a classic question but; which language should i learn first? I know HTML, it took me a few hours to learn it a couple years ago. I was thinking C++ or perl, of course i will eventually try to learn as many as possible.

voidmain:
Perl would be an in-between step from HTML to C++. And if you learned Perl, you could fix your CGI scripts.  

TheLizardKing:
If you want to go the way of the web, go with PHP.  Its quite simple and although perl came first, it will greatly help you to understand it.  Perl was always more complicated then PHP in my humble opinion.

KernelPanic:
Depends what you are doing really. Perl has fairly short code and is very good at what it does, but C++ is very powerful and versatile and not all that difficult. C++ also gives you the opportunity to expand you skils to larger projects and it is OOP.

TheLizardKing:
For some reason I found C++ to be quite difficult, much of which was due to the fact I use a lot of web languages so I couldn't quite grasp all of their concepts but thats just me of course.  Oh and yes, it is 5:30am here, sleep is for the weak!
