I have a little bit of programming knowledge. But am not sure what programming langauges are cheap and easy to use. Also, what king of programs can I write.What kind of programming projects can I write for a hobby?
If you're interested in web programming, pick up PHP. Along the way, learn HTML and Javascript, if you don't already know them. Or at least, know how they work and know how to google for references when you need to find out how to do something.
PHP and Javascript have a good ';classic'; C/C++ style syntax, which can help you learn C++ or Java if you want to go that route. And another important point: it's free.
I think that PHP is a good language because it is widespread and you can do some neat things with it. Knowing how write code that runs on a webserver is useful for making apps that ARE actually useful. You will also probably find it necessary for learning how databases work as you create more complex PHP applications. Thus, you will be experiencing many critical areas of computer science.

What kind of programming languages for showing inventory over the net?
Hi, we have customers nationwide and they want to see our inventory status online so they can check and place orders.
We have simple company website and I want to use the site for this purpose. What programming languages do I need?
I'm now learning HTML, CSS, and Javascript. And planning to
do Visual Basic and MS Access. Can someone give me a pointer? Thanks a lot in advance.What kind of programming languages for showing inventory over the net?
ASP.Net is the way to go, with either C# or VB.Net. If you know some VB already the transition to VB.Net will be easier. You'll need the database, which if it's access, not my favorite option, but it'll work.What kind of programming languages for showing inventory over the net?
You need a database behind it, if not you can simply post Excel spreadsheet every night.
It depends on which web hosting company you have, then you know what database they support, then you can get the information online.
Some easy solutions, there are some existing web design company who can help you do the whole e-commerence thing. The price runs about $2500. But you have inventory track linked to Quickbook, design, post your items. It will be easier than you learning all the languages.
PHP is the best. And MySQL. PHP lets the login/out operations, and others too.

What video game programming language would be best for me?
Hi, I want to try video game programming, I've never done it before unless you include the program scratch, but that doesn't really count. This will most likely start out as a hobby and I'll see how much I enjoy it and go from there. So ya, I want to know what programming language would be best for me, thanks!What video game programming language would be best for me?
Hi, I have been developing computer games and by now I have used various languages and tools. There are certain things that you have to keep in mind when you start learning about these technologies:
1/ What platform are you writing for. If your game gonna run on windows pc, mac , iphone , windows mobile , xbox or something else.
2/ What is the nature of the game. The game can be action/adventure, sports , 2D or 3D graphics , scrolling screen , fixed screen , text based like scrabble.
I would highly recommend and suggest to get an introduction of C# (C Sharp) and start using Microsoft XNA Studio for development. It comes with a strong library that will significantly reduce your development time and the engine has all the basics like (double buffering , advanced graphics options ) already implemented. You can develope the games on your windows pc machine and install XNA for free from http://channel8.msdn.com . If you dont like XNA and C# then you will have to learn Visual C++ and use some kind of library for graphics and inputs like Direct X or Open GL . If you dont like VC++ either then its pretty difficult to develope games. I would really recommend reading more about XNA and checking out their samples.
Hope this helps, Thanks
This will help you decide what technology is available and how much effort is required.What video game programming language would be best for me?

C++ is the best to learn if you want to do 3d games but tricky to learn if you've never done it before.
Try downloading Microsoft's Visuall C++ Express and going through the tutorials there to start with.
As other have said, C++ is the way to go, I hear that C# (Pronounced C Sharp) is also a good language to create video games, and all of the software to write in these languages can be found on Microsofts website.
If you go the C++ route, I reccomend after learnin C++, you learn the Simple and Fast multiMedia Libary or SFML, is a libary, it contains the functions and ect to use graphics and more easier with C++, thats for making 2D games

Can we stop programming our children with No Child Left Behind and start preparing them for independence?
Education is supposed to teach us how to learn and to prepare us to be independent. Instead of teaching socialist theories of globalization, is it possible to have an home economics class that teaches one how to put in a sink or install a new toilet? It costs $190 to have a new sink installed; I had to earn $235.60 to pay for this (24% income tax removed from paycheck). I do not know how to change plumbing pipes.
I am not against hiring contractors, or reading how to repair things myself, but basic repairs course in high school would have been helpful and programming an entire nation to think one way seems like we are creating a society that will be punished for thinking outside the box.Can we stop programming our children with No Child Left Behind and start preparing them for independence?
There are already many parents who are either supplementing or replacing their children's education with their own efforts, for these and other reasons. If you want a helping hand, look at the end of your wrist.
PS - I learned how to do my own plumbing for EXACTLY that reason! Maximium cost for both toilets and both bathroom sinks in my house was less than $80 each, with sales tax - and I have a 100 foot industrial snake for addressing that kind of problem, if it arises. Teach your kids how to read, and look things up! It's the key to freedom!Can we stop programming our children with No Child Left Behind and start preparing them for independence?
Very good, I agree. They need to learn basic skills of independence like how to not depend on your parents to pay the bills because you wanted to go buy all of those new clothes or had to have that car. As far as how to home projects, some people just aren't mechanically inclined and if you are, you should go take a class for this stuff. They teach adults these home repair things all of the time. But for others, I think they need to learn how to budget so we can leave them behind to be on their own.
You are exactly right. Also while we are at it, can we start keeping score again for kids sports? Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. There is more of a lesson learned there than when no score is kept.
Great question!
Socialist theories of globalization? Really? Cool! What school does your kid go to?!? My daughter never got that (at school anyway). It's a big world, let's teach kids to live in it as responsible civic-minded individuals with respect for others and different ways of thinking.
I agree with you though, basic home repair would be great along with some basic electronics. What the hell, teach them how to make their own IPod to run off of a little solar panel. Now there's a skill for the future! Also throw in some basic budgeting in with this home ec class (hence the name ';home ECONOMICS';), teach kids money doesn't ';grow on trees';? That's not political or dogmatic, just realistic!

What changes would you like to programming to make it simpler and faster?
This is a quick feedback survey to find out what programmers would like changed/innovated to make programming faster and easier. What specific software development tools would you like that don't currently exist, and specifically what features?What changes would you like to programming to make it simpler and faster?
How about something that you can click or select the variables and you can select to automatically make get and set methods for them. Of course, you must be able to edit the methods in case you need error checking etc. That would certainly save a bit of typing, etc.
That is about all that I can think of at the moment.highlight styles blonde highlight oil well toner

Visual basic is a powerful programming language than excel. Using VB you can do programming for highly complicated applications which cannot be done using excel.What is the difference between excel programming and visual basic programming?
Visual basic can be much more involved and more power full. You can make stand alone applications in visual basic that can do almost anything.

What school are good for game programming?
I've found a lot of different ones for game design and computer science classes, and only one for straight game programming which was the University of Advancing Technology. I want to learn the languages like C++, C, and C#. Thanks in advance.What school are good for game programming?
UAT is a trade school, much like DeVry, Art Institute and others. They're degree programs may not be regionally accredited. I know UAT and AI are NOT regionally accredited and some DeVry locations may or may not be.
They give you a ';Game and Simulation Degree'; but when you get that degree you are pigeon holing yourself, because there is only one thing you can do for the rest of your life, and that is work in the game industry.
The gaming industry is strong but what I would recommend is for you to go to your local state college and get a real accredited degree in Computer Science.
Those trade school programs (UAT, DeVry, AI etc) mix art and programming to create these game development programs. But if you went to a real university and studied art and computer science you will learn so much more.
For instance, trade schools are not likely to teach art history at all and trade school programming classes are just teaching the basics of each language.
At a university, you'll learn the proper way to implement each technology.
Here's a rule of thumb on the difference between trade schools and universities.
Trade schools teach skills that are popular in the job market TODAY, while Universities teach underlying concepts, things that NEVER CHANGE.
So if you get an trade school degree, you may find your self back in community college 15 years from now trying to get more current job skills. If you go to a university then you'll learn skills that can be applied in other industries besides gaming and that last a lifetime.
