I have been working in qbasic for a while and i would like to know a good language to get into next.

10 PRINT "i need to know a new language to learn what do you suggest"
20 input statement
30 PRINT "ok thx"
40 end

I'd say you best try your luck in Visual Basic now. Its syntax is inbetween what you know now and the syntax of C/C++, Java, PHP, etc.

Kon-Tiki told you good.
I don't have expirience in VB but for sure I can tell you that you don't have to think of details and still program freely.

If you want to program Visual Basic, then I would suggest using the newest version of the language called VB.NET. The old VB is on it's way out, and will not be supported much longer. It's quite a step to move from VB to VB.NET, so you better just make the step once.

If I where you, I would choose to learn C#. It is very similar to other popular languages (C++, java, php). The VB syntax is very different to other languages, and doesn't always make sence. If you can program VB, you cannot necessarily program other languages. If you can program C#, it's very easy to lean almost any other language. And a lot of people think C# is easier learn, because of the fact, that there are fewer keywords to remember than in VB. You can use both VB.NET and C# for making windows and web applications.

Java is also a great language, and there are a lot of free tools for programming java. This could also be your new language.

That may be correct, but I think that .NET products have a price, unless..........
...........:twisted: you have a friend that ownes them.

Not to mention you'd have to have the .NET runtime environment installed. It comes standard with XP sp2, I believe, but everything before that still needs that installed. I know that I myself am definitely not going to install that, simply for the programmer's ease of work. I don't want to bloat my Win98.

:Brain: Java :Brain: cross-platform all the way! And pretty easy to learn (plus you learn the OOP paradigm which is also a very good one)!

Oh, you might give Python a try as well. It's a pretty decent scripting/programming language that has a lot of potential imho! If however, the Windows-platform is your only concern, I guess Visual Basic is ok... at least the IDE is pretty good

I wanna learn Java... Ive even got a big book of it from my dad ^^
Think there's a few things on oracle hidden in these piles of books, by the looks of things...

I don't english so well.

Braćo HRVATI! zar na Hrvatskoj stranici mi moramo pisati engleski?
Bez obzira tko kako voli ja sam ovu raspravu otvorio da saznam nešto više o programiranju, kako napraviti nešto korisno, možda jednog dana budući Windows, ali zašto to nebi napravili zajedno? Linux je danas otvoreni kod i svatko ga može instalirati bez obzira dali je plačena verzija ili neka osnovna.

Svaka čast na vašim primjedbama jer ima zanimljivih stvari!

Nažalost radi ograničenja vremena ja sam na internetu 2-3 puta tjedno, ali zato mi se uvjek možete javiti na mobitel, ili putem MSN Messenger-a. Adresa je: Tomislav.varzic@os.htnet.hr.

Puno pozdrava slima i nadam se da će moj prijedlog biti razmotren u vašim raspravama.

P.S. Molim da netko ovo prevede i kolegama koji nisu iz Hrvatske a imaju volje da pomognu!

Pozdrav SVIMA!
