I miss programming!!! I haven't done any programming in the last year except for a little bit of perl that I was trying to learn for a VERY UNSUCCESSFUL venture into the website business. So, I want to get back to what I love. I programmed all through high school in QBasic(yeah yeah), Pascal, VB, and Finally C! I was getting a hold of C very well and then I went to college, ick, I should have know better. If anything college took me further back in my ventures than forward(I don't believe that is what they were supposed to do)anyways I am wanting to learn one of these new fangled languages like perl, python, and Java(although that one isn't all that newfangled). So where do I start and who wants to help? :)

Perl and Python are scripting languages, java is a very good language since it is multiplatform. But c is still the no.1

Ok, I might go back to C then, I enjoyed it for the 3 years that I programmed in it. Question is, I got to the point in C where I didn't know what to do anymore, I had no purpose or project or idea for a project. After I get refreshed on the language, which shouldn't take to long, what would be a good project for me to dive into.

if youve got any idea would like to add
go to www.Binspace.org (http://www.binspace.org) Once the site takes off it will eventually solve problems like this [ive seen it here about twenty times]. So add an idea [aka project] and hopefully you'll help you people that are stuck in your situation.

Python is actually more cross platform than Java. It has (IMO) a simpler, cleaner syntax. I definitely think it's the language for you to start again with.

What are the capabilities of python? Is it not pretty much a scripting language? Augh, I don't know, so many new languages, it is hard to decide!!!
I'm willing to be that you can do anything you want to do (at this point) in python. If you have some experience (like you mentioned), head over to http://www.python.org/doc/current/tut/tut.html and go through the tutorial. It's pretty simple and you'll be doing real apps (whether GUI, networking, file I/O, ICBM, ABC, BBD, east cost family, [sorry got carried away]) in no time.
