I know C, not very well, but I know some! Do you advise me to learn some other languages now?

Or I should stick with C until I know it very very well and then learn something like C++ and Java and maybe asm! Some ppl told me that I should learn something else like Python now and some told me to stick with C! What should I do?

I know C, not very well, but I know some! Do you advise me to learn some other languages now?
Instead of jumping languages, stick to one until you're comfortable, then by that time, any other languages will be easier to learn, since the logic will be similar all you'll have to worry is the syntax.
Reply:It really depends on what you learned on it.





For example, do you now have an idea on how to create WHOLE games (Including game engine) by virtue of lines of code?





If you do, then you can try out different programming languages and find what's "comfortable" for you.





If not, then I suggest reading about it.





It's because primarily, it's not important what kinds of programming languages you know, but primarily if you understand what and how can you do what you want on it.
Reply:you better go for c#.net...its amazing n intresting
Reply:Yes, learn others! always...


Programming languages are easy to move from one to the other. If you want to do different things like web work, db work, or windows programming, there are a lot of things to try.. Visual Basic (don't laugh) is one you should have, do you program in php or (ug) perl? Java and/or javascript?


You will find that by just programming in these will help you in the logic part of programming, which to me is the hardest part and may open other ways to tackle a problem when you are working in c++


I think though that you probably should stick to the area of programming you will be doing, for instance if you do not do web work, and never plan to, then there is no reason to learn javascript or php or perl or other web related languages..
Reply:It's good to be proficient in a given programming language, but it's not a very strict, what with all these tutorials on the internet.


So I'd say stick with C until you can use it well, and when you need something really elaborate chances are you will be able to find the theory online.





I'd suggest you learn C# , for the OOP concepts. C++ is good too, but C# forces you to use pure OOP.
