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.

>Can you really just say it's new syntax?

Yes. 

Input.  Storage.  Transformation (loops/subroutines). Output. 

OOP has its place, but not for beginners like post 1.  The kid needs to get his head wrapped around the four concepts above and to put together some moderately sized projects before he's ready to understand why all the structural horsecrap the OOP languages put you through.  The benefits of OOP languages are undeniable when the problem calls for it.

However when I am writing a 'print "Hello, $YOURNAME!" 10x' program, it's going to look very similar no matter what programming language is used.
