What is the last language that you learned? I am thinking about learing a programming language like C++ or something like that. Is it hard?
I first learned BASIC on a spectrum and then 6502 assembly on the BBC model b. That was a good few years back. In the last coupld of years I've been picking up PHP/mysql. Becoming profficient is a long process and I'd say I still have loads to learn but if you have the time and the inclination you'll do ok.
AJAX & bash shell scripting.

Learning C++ is pretty hard. I would start small with something like Visual Basic.

Python, my fourth language.

Yeah, I need to get Python down. It seems like a pretty nice language to have under your belt. Do you have any good resources for learning the language?

Phiber, how difficult is ajax to get into? I know enough php/mysql to get by and from what I've seen of ajax I think it could add an extra dimension to my scripts.
Well the best way to get it down is to look on python.org for any tips and resources.

The tutorial I learned from is this one:

http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html

I wouldnt attempt without prior programming knowledge in C++ or C though, similar system.
learning C++ is not hard. it is actually simple to learn as long as you know the syntax to use and the purpose on why you are programming.

try to learn first c then proceed to c++
i last learned css its soo helpfull when creating websites lol. Will never go back! i plan on improving my knowledge of php and mysql next!
PHP is by far the most useful one I know. It's so widely used on the net...

I tried learning ASP. o.O

Gave up after a day.

Very good resource. After going over it I decided its time to get some good books Python. If anyone has some recommendations let me know.

Thanks!

I think that you can simply write a program in a .NET based language and then just convert it to ASP. If I'm not wrong the biggest part of it is done automatically.

Yep, I seem to remember seeing an export function for this in .NET but to tell you the truth I don't code that much in it. Smile I've had to debug a few apps and write a web service application but that's about it.

I just finished learning CSS and am working on MySQL and PHP.
