A few weeks ago, I asked about programming languages and which I should learn, and
your reaction had me thinking that I could have offered more info about what I hoped
to do with computers. My request was so vague that I can see why you found it difficult
to reply. Perhaps this time I'll do better.
To make things easier, I'm providing a list of what I want to do, and I ask you if you know
what languages or applications I should consider in order to fulfill my technological goals.
I'd like to:
- build web pages
- provide internet security for large & small clients
- make computer games
- build my own OS from scratch (a big task, I know)
- create, edit, download, and manipulate multi-media images and files
- develop application software
- build and manage my own server
- develop databases
- get a general feel for everything else, in case I ever need it
So my current list of stuff I wish to learn now includes:
- Java
- Java Script
- Perl
- C, C+, & C++
- PHP
- SQL
- CSS
- HTML
- XML
- Adobe Photoshop
- Adobe Illustrator
- Flash & Dreamweaver
- .Net (VB.net, ASP.net, C#)
- CGI
If you know anything about the above, feel free to post:
What are each of the above
used for? How did it come out? Are any of them similar or used for similar tasks?
Etc., etc., etc.
Finally, I was told to learn some Assembly language, but unless I am mistaken,
I think I learned that already. If someone could give me a rundown on what it is, I could
be sure if its what I think it is. I think I learned 8086 in my day (came with a card, too),
so all I have to do is review it I think.
Your help and suggestions are welcome and I thank you in advance for your time.
