[SOLVED] Which programming language should I learn next: Perl or C/C++?

#1 (**permalink**) 06-10-2007, 05:21 PM

I have O'Reilly books for learning both. I currently program in mainly VB5 and have done a smattering of assembly. I've DLed & installed the free express editions of VB 2005 and VC++ 2005 from MS, and also the Open Perl IDE. I also have Bloodshed Dev C++, Codeblocks, and WinAsm Studio. (I've been casting about for some good programming environments.)

Any suggestions?

It depends where you want to go next, if you want to move to the Web side of things then Perl, if you want to stick with things such as VB5 then you should go with C++.

I agreed. I think it's all just depending on your preferences. But I think it seems that you've had a lot of experiences on Microsoft languages, then just go with C++ first. I'm pretty sure that you will get it pretty quickly, and then go with Perl once you're done
