Learning a scripting language.

[Dervish]

Hi, I've been away a little while.

I would like to learn a scripting language but I do not know which one to learn.

Could you please recommend a language designed to make programs or smaller utilities.

I have a goal in life which is semi-tied to this and I might talk about it later.

P.S : I am not leaving SCAR, absolutely not. I will release a script in December, on Christmas, the same day I will have been at SRL for 2, fantastic years.

Thanks in advance and have a good day.

I've heard Java is good for utilities, otherwise if your looking to kill some time and at the same time make utilities, I recommend VB 6 (don't be fooled, it is extremely good if you know how to code)

Try any of the Visual Express (http://www.microsoft.com/express/product/default.aspx) products from Microsoft.
They're really easy to learn new programming languages with, and you can make good applications.

C++ FTW!

How about... ..Python (http://www.python.org/)?

Visual Basic looks promising, I'll try it out. Thank you +R.

PHP is actually quite fun to learn, I've only been learning it for a while, but I really like it so far.

I know PHP, and its very fun, but I would do python.
