NEXT?!

Alright, so here are my current capabilities.

(x)html, javascript, php, sql, actionscript, css, 'ajax'

What should I start learning next?

WHERE DO I START?!

perl

Haskell and/or Lisp.

C

here are some other good things to learn, each preceded by a similar thing you already know.

xhtml -> json
css -> perl regular expressions, grammars
js & actionscript -> lisp
php & sql -> ruby on rails

If you care about ajax there's no need to bother learning anything more. You're useless. Just spend your time jerking off to web 3.0.

learn something that's actually useful

You're a fag for being elitist and disencouraging my curiousity.
>>10
Wait, does that mean Python itself never gets any further than the command line scripts?
>>7
THANKS.

>>8
BTW, what the hell is Web 3.0?

>>13
Hmm. Thanks for the explanation.

I'm trying to figure out a language that will actually enable me to produce some useful applications. I've studied the tutorial at http://www.python.org/doc/ but I still feel like it's kind of useless. I've spent a while looking around and now I find myself thinking what possible use Python could have for creating an application like a small game (pong or something like that)?

APL is the next big language for enterprise web application development.  With simple yet powerful syntax, APL will succeed Java and C# in the next decade.

It seems like you have a lot of web stuff down. If want to continue with that path, go for Ruby on Rails.

If you want to do some standalone applications, start with C, and work your way to C++. I know C# as well, and I personally prefer it.

YOUR HOBBY PROJECT IS DREADFULLY BORING

Maybe it's just me... actually it's probably just me but I don't find getting into a new language very easy. w3schools.com offered some pretty easy-to-understand tutorials and I can't seem to find something similar for these new types of coding.

Anyway I'll have a look and figure out which I find actually useful.

NeXT sucks.

You are a bad programmer

>>23
Your post is just further proof that you are a horrible programmer.  You sound like a fucking soccer mom.

Programmers should be bloody. That tense atmosphere, where two guys on opposite sides of the U-shaped table can start a fight at any time, the stab-or-be-stabbed mentality, that's what's great about programming. Women and children should screw off and stay home. Anyways, I was about to start coding, and then the bastard beside me goes "Java, with JNDI." Who in the world likes enterprise software nowadays, you moron? I want to ask him, "do you REALLY want to use Java and JNDI?" I want to interrogate him. I want to interrogate him for roughly an hour. Are you sure you don't just want to try using J2EE? Coming from a programming veteran such as myself, the latest trend among us vets is this, Python. That's right, Python. This is the vet's way of coding. Python means more functional abstraction than objects. But on the other hand the lambdas could be better. This is the key. And then, it's delicious. This is unbeatable. However, if you order this then there is danger that you'll be marked by your boss from next time on; it's a double-edged sword. I can't recommend it to amateurs. What this all really means, though, is that you, >>23, should just stick with JavaScript snippets.

>>25
I LOL'ed.

>>25
Win.

>>23 =/= OP

bump

Actually I think I'll just finish my Python lessons.

learn binary

>>31
Now THAT would be an interesting challenge.

>>33
Not really, you just need to know assembly, then learn the op codes and the format of the instructions for the machine you are using.

>>34
You know what? You do that, and I'll try to master something a tad higher leveled.

>>35
Awesome.

PyGame for games, it's actually quite nice, and wxWidgets for Python for applications.

>>38
a.k.a wxPython

WTF

You are just looking   for a little   bit of shimmer.
