What programming language should I learn? Coders advice me!

Uraniumfish SG

I need one that is useful for robotics. Suggest some programming languages please!

eagle SG

C or C++ should be useful

furb SG

C or C++ should be useful

Yea for robotics, it's got to be C or C++. I say learn C first.

Uraniumfish SG

Oh hi eagle! Long time no see! Since I have just returned to Sgforums. I shall learn C first than. Hey by the way, what is Java and C# about? What are they good for?

Shotgun SG

JAVA!

deepak.c SG

Assembly.

ChoCoChips SG

i learning C now

learnt Java and assembly before

Java and C or C++ got alot of similarities

u learn java = learning 60-70% of C++ imo and vice versa

but i must say i like assembly alot. woots!

RETARDED_MORON SG

Python, PHP and Ruby on Rails for you.

deepak.c SG

EusLisp and Karel.

You are very funny ah! I don't want to play with "karel the robot" lah. I know about this I watched the stanford lecture on youtube.

Isn't PHP a scriping language for websites? Like JavaScript? I want one that is useful, or widely used in robotics.

But these days dunno if you can still get MASM and TASM.

But seriously man, recommend me something good. For robotics. NO KAREL

They suggest that C and Basic is good, so I guess I will learn C first (as they say that only brain-damaged people learn Basic as a first programming language) than something else also.

BASIC is too easy.

If you like, then take C then progress to C++.

Shotgun SG

I learnt C as a first language... it was useless to me.

Then I learnt Java. And with that I could do JSP, and J2EE and J2ME stuff.

And guess what? It was almost identical to C#!

In anycase, I reccommend Java. Cos you can write applications that work on any bloody platform. Windows, Linux, Mac... you name it, it'll run.

With java, you can move on to server side scripting easily using jsp. You'll get to learn about both enterprise level programming as well...

So many doors open with java!

In the area of robotics , you should consult a lecturer who can give u notes on microcontroller programming

like Motorola 68000 or 68HC11

this will form the controller function

to interface with the PC ,you will need C or C++ for microcontroller

due to the language understand to human

Java is not recommended becos you are dealing with Input Output functions to a Ports and Serial Communications port

if you still need help,please do not reply ,but PM me as i seldom track forum threads

I am a Electronics Dip Grad from Ngee Ann Poly Electronics and Comp Engineering
