RE: Programming

["David J ONEILL" <David.J.Oneill () state or us>]

I think that the answer to this question is that same as the answers
received for the previous question ... It depends.

In order to give any advice, we need more information.

Why are you looking to learn programming languages?
        Do you want to become a programmer?
        Do you want to know what security pitfalls a programmer faces
(this is what I think the previous requester was asking.)
        Do you want to know how hackers penetrate systems?
        ...?
What environment would you be programming in?
        Are you looking at server level programming?  (Web, Mainframe,
Client Server)
        How about PC level (Local Applications, Browsers, ...?)
What is you current level of experience?
        Have you done any scripting?
        Are you a new security specialist?
        Do you have any formal training dealing with computer systems?

More detailed history and specifics concerning your expectations are
needed before anyone could answer you question with any level of
confidence.

Sorry to answer you question with more questions, but I am a bit tired
of the language bashing that we went through on the last question. (My
language can beat up your language nonsense.)

On another note are there any programming languages which you would
definitely not recommend anyone to learn and why not?
