Php or Perl, it will be dramatically different from what you're used to with VB. But it will help prepare you to learn other languages. I posted a few tutorials in the programming section. I'll be sure to post more soon if I know people are using them.

Hi. Go with Python, you won't regret it.
#6
I mainly use C#, PHP, and Java.
#7
HTML, Python, PHP, Perl, VB, and C#

Don't learn C++ Yet, you'll want to learn C-- or C# First, their much simpler :) Well, maybe not C--

Just saying.

What the heck is C--?

Thank you guys for your input in my new spark into the programming. I wanted to widen my Skill in this. In all reality Chad sparked my Interest in programming. So Thank you chad.

EDIT: I am going to start out with C#, php , and some perl.

I don't advise you to go into Perl so early, I suggest you learn Python as an alternative.

Python. You can contribute to the development of the official LG programs with all the cool kids. And, by cool kids I mean just me. As it currently stands, I'm stuck with a bunch of .NET fangirls who refuse to code in anything else.

I think you're forgetting about Riddle ma'am. You should take a look into Mono.

Hey, I'm starting in python, i'd like some recognition :p

Lol i will give python a try tonight. :)
#17
I've done quite a bit of work with Mono, but the annoying aspect of it is that it isn't native to most systems. I wasn't really having a go at .NET, but more your refusal to code in anything else :p Either way, use what you're familiar with. I have no real issues with you guys using .NET.

Python is a great language, but the language you should use depends on circumstance. If you're only out to make simple programs for Gaiaonline, you'll probably find .NET the easiest solution.

Installing Iron python now..................................

I am going to make a couple nice bots am i able to make a dumpster dive bot and a account creator in python? those are going to be my first goals. ANd yes just simple programs like a refresher you would find VERY easy in .net

We'll be using 2.7 for our official development, so you'll probably want to download that version.

Why not upgrade to 3.1?

Riddle uses 3.2 I believe.
#23
A lot of the existing Python libraries aren't forward compatible. If you upgrade to 3 you'll find yourself in a situation where, a lot of the resources you would have had at your disposal in 2.7 aren't available.

i.e. a lot of the GUI libraries aren't properly available for Python 3.

Building using Visual Studio 2010

Open IronPython.sln in Visual Studio 2010 and build (from menu: Build->Build Solution). Set IronPythonConsole as your startup project in the Solution Explorer.

Why are you doing all of that? Python 2.7.1 Release Download the Windows installer if you're on Windows.
#27
I'm gonna learn python, and use it to make completely unnecessary things.
#28
Finally they used my idea of posting to view links :)
Well my idea that i stole from a forum.

testtttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
#29
Uhh wait am I on 3.1 or 3.2? Either way I can downgrade when I get home and have more time to devote.
#31
Monster, you just said you are using ironpython. Don't.
#32
do python, its a good but easy language. also most school use it now so if you decide to take a programming course later it would really help.

Google Python 2.7, Download.
#35
Python is great for a lot of things but i just dont like the syntax. At all.
I do C# and java mainly.
#36
Well that's a perfectly valid reason to shun a language, a slightly different syntax style. /sarcasm
#37
Python's syntax is pretty typical. But let's put it this way, if Python has a 'slightly different syntax', what does that make Perl's syntax?
