Hi, I wanted to learn a programming language over summer. I was just wondering if you guys had any suggestions for a language to learn. I have some programming experience, and have taken courses in calculus, statistics, algebras, and logic, so math isn't going to be an issue.

I just wanted to learn something practical and fun. I was thinking C++. Do any of you have any other suggestions or experience that you want to share? That'd be great. Also if you know of a good book that I could pick up from my local Barnes and Noble or Books A Million, that'd be really cool too.

Thanks a lot.:)
 
Personally, I think Java is the bane of programming. A lot of people swear it's the next big thing but I don't like it.

I suggest you try Python. It's a lot lighter than trying C/C++ or Java.
 
Visual Basic 6 is great if you just want to play around to make some simple games.

Yeah VB6 is easy to learn, however it is pretty old, Maybe try VB .NET.

As far as making games in VB, VB really wasn't designed for that, sure you can but I don't think it's very pretty.
 
Yeah, I have a little bit of experience with a couple variations of BASIC, and have tried C+(might have been ++), to make some really simple stuff
 
I am personally trying to learn C#. Its hard as hell, but with XNA, you can make some sweet games for pc, xbox 360, and zune!

If I wasnt learning this, it would probably be java for the google phone android :D.

Hey, I just started doing some C# last week and I like it a lot.
I came into it with a year of Java programming through. Send me a PM if you want any help okay? :)
