Morpheus Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 So I've decided that I want to get some general programming skills, mainly to make websites and get better with Flash. What would be a good language to learn, considering I only have a very basic understanding of Java?

chaosmachine Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 python, php, and javascript are the key languages. python is probably better to learn with, php can teach you some bad habits. there's also ruby, but learning ruby is sort of like joining a cult..

Guest Benedict Cumberbatch Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 actionscript is similar to javascript but what about binary? good starting point.

Guest analogue wings Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Keep working on your Java to build up skills that apply to all kinds of programming, not just web. As Chaos said, stay away from PHP until you have a good feel for what "nice" code should look like.

Guest hahathhat Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 if you're doing this to get better at websites n stuff and you aren't intimidated by it, just go with java. java itself isn't used much in web shit, but javascript actionscript etc. are derivatives of it. if it drives you up the wall, python. there are good tutorials for it.
