Which language to learn next

Name: Anonymous 2009-05-07 1:07

Hey /prog/, heres my dilemma. I wish to learn  C or python but I'm confused where to start. Reason I'm asking this is because so far I know html, javascript, some php(I know its scripting but I'm trying to get web dev down). If someone could give me a list that would depict what I should learn first that would be great. So far I plan on learning python(or perl), C, and assembly. Thanks in advance.

Much wisdom in this post.

Look, the fact is every language has these things in common: variables, loops, function calls, input and output.  Learning a new language is all about figuring out how the punctuation works and what are the keywords.

When I interviewed for my current job, I didn't know PHP and had limited MySql experience, but I knew the facts above and I was able to talk them into hiring me.  With the existing code base and some Googling around to bootstrap me & find some example code, I was productive within the first week.
