i would like to find out the criteria in choosing between the different programming languages.?

To use for a website mostly it depends on what your most comfortable with. HTML is the standard web development language along with a bunch of other add ons like php, javascript, vbscript that allow you to make more dynamic web sites. In the end it just depends on what exactly you are trying to do and what you are comfortable with.

we cannot say which language or package will rule because software industry will change every second and all the languages are changing daily\n\nbut one thing is for sure c, c++ are ever green subjects and if u know programming in c, c++ u may not get a very good job with lakes of Rs. but one thing is for sure u can learn any other language or package much faster than any other person who don't know c, c++.\n\nlet me tell u one of my experience \none day i went for an interview in oracle and to my surprise they wanted a c, c++ knowing person for software testing and my brother who knows java, .net, asp and many more languages and package lost a very good chance to get a good job because they wanted him to know c,c++ and now he is learning c, c++\n\nbeing a bsc(comp) student u have c, c++ in Ur first two years and i would advice u to learn c, c++ and i can ensure u that u can learn any other languages very easily.\n\nbeing a bsc student i have many of my fnds who are beating their heads for not learing c, c++\n\nthough java(j2ee, .net) are leading languages, packages for now

Trick question - C _is_ the most popular programming language.\nWell to be honest, Java and VB are probably more popular in general (i.e. including home user hobbyists), but in the industry you'll find that C/C++ are more widely used.\n\nRawlyn.

php is a scripting language and java, c++ etc are not. so u cant make a choice between these languages. for scripting php is a good language and for general programming i prefer java.\nasp,c# etc come under one category. \nbut a good programmer doesnt care about the language and should possess good thinking capabilities and that's all that is required

Manish it hardly matters if you choose either of them. Finally the code is compiled into IL which is the intermediatory language. If you are comfortable with VB U go for VB.NET if your background is C/C++ go for C#.NET. My personal opinion is VB.NET is much easier to work with.

It all depends on what language you want to learn. I'd suggest diving right into it with java, or C#.  They are relatively similar languages, aside from the fact that one is based on Windows technology and the other is multi-platform.

You will have to find the answer for each culture separately.  Would be easier if you specified which cultures you are interested in.

Im assuming you're currently looking at a source code...In that case, there's really a lot of factors you have to consider to identify which code came from which language. Different computer langauges offer some sort of uniqueness on the language syntax/construct itself, so that could be a factor for consideration. Other than that, there's just no definite way of precisely pointing out its source...Is it possible for you to post some snippet so that we can identify it together! =)

First of all, you are comparing a couple apples and an orange.\n\nJava and .Net are development environments. But, Oracle is a database and solution provider. So, I'll compare the first 2 for you.\n\nJava is an object-oriented programming language, designed to run across operating system platform, i.e. Unix, Linux, Windows and Mac OS.  On the other hand, .Net is a development framework that provides cross-language development, i.e. C++,  C# (C Sharp) and Visual Basic but is tied to the Windows environment.\n\nFrom the corporate side, the advantages of Java are the ability to select hardware and operating platforms regardless of the application. Companies that choose Java will, of course, need programmers that know Java.\n\n.Net is more restrictive of the supporting operating system but less restrictive on development resource requirements. A company that chooses .Net may hire developers that possess C++, C#  or Visual Basic skills.\n\nSo, to choose a career option, it all comes down to supply and demand. What skills are in demand and is there a supply to meet the need?\n\nI did a quick search on Dice and found that there are almost 15,000 requirements for Java while only 11,000 for .Net, divided between C++, C# and VB. For now, the answer would appear to slant towards Java. But, the answer could vary when comparing within a specific region and at a particular time. I would suggest reviewing the want ads in your selected area and make your plans accordingly. \n\nIf your choice is Java, checkout the URL listed below for free tutorials to get you started.\n\nBest of luck

There is no such language: each language is good in some private case. People answering your question are glad to kill basic and fortran. But note that for simple, even primitive programs (when you want, e.g., quickly test some your idea) basic is a suitable one. Fortran has tons of scientific and engineering libraries and thus is widely used today. I, personally, do not like Pascal - but it is my own phobia :-)

Certainly java.\n\nhttp://java.sun.com\n\nBut you already know, don't you ;)

It depends o what you want to do with it. java is widely used ut a bit bulky and has too much of legacy. Python and ruby are new entry - etter designed, ut low in acceptability. smalltalk is almost extinct now. For AI lisp is good.\n\nFor job probably java is safe bet. But no language is difficult to master once you have grasped one properly, and no language will last for life time. So you got to learn a few.\n\nI would vote for java, ruby & lisp - in that order...

My guess is vb.net.\nSupports .net framework. It is an evolved version of vb 6.0 (?). If you found that one interesting then you'll probably find this one more interesting too because it supports oop!\n\nJ2ee is also good. Once you learn this language you can create application that are platform indepedent.\n\nBut I guess the rational way to make a choice is to think where you want to end up working. For e.g. if you are looking to work in bank-related firms, where storage and management of large databases are a must, then oracle is good option.

Java for ever !!\n\nit is OPEN SOURCE !!

there are certain categories to consider in choosing a programming language, like readability, writability, reliability and cost, well first, if you're a first time programmer i think both language will do you no good, but if you have a background on c/c++ then you will find some of similarities with these two, both are reliable, the difference is when you create a c# program, after compiling, it creates an executable file that you can run right away and you can only program c# if you have a c# compiler, unlike in java in creates an executable jar file and you dont need to have a compiler application to program on java, you can start doin it on notepad save your file with an extention name .java then go to command prompt set your path to the location of you jdk (java development kit) folder then type javac (filename) .java to run it just search for the jar file or type java (filename).class, but you need to have java installed in your pc in order to program, the cost, java costs virtually nothing, and is under sun microsystems, it's free, while c#, you have to pay for the software coz it's licensed under microsoft, my vote goes to java :), coz java programs can run on most platforms and most pcs and gadgets today supports java applications and it's free and can be downloaded from the net :).
