hi everyone, can anyone tell me from which language should I start to learn? I am a flash developer, I do action scblockedript, but hacking and stuff is completely different from designing and building sites. So from which language should I start to learn if I want to go in depth in programming and hacking? Pascal or C++? thanks for your time.

It's not that different unless the sites you're talking about are shitty and vulnerable.

The best language you can learn is the one you feel most comfortable with. Try each, and then decide. If you still can't figure it out, flip a coin. The language really doesn't make that much difference as long as you understand the concepts and the logic.

My mother knows Pascal(no joke) - So unless you want to be like my mother, go for C++.

What kind of moronic reasoning is that? Oh...I just answered my own question.

Since I am a flash developer, the sites I am talking about are Flash sites which uses action scblockedript and little bit php. Does that makes any difference?

I feel comfortable with Pascal, but as people say it is for school pupils, so it makes me think that it is not a good language to start with if I want to go in depth. |

That is cool. But just knowing some basic syntax in Pascal does not mean that they know Pascal. If you know what I mean. and Thanks for your suggestion.

Duh, That's because schools are outdated.

I could just start from C++, you know at times people feel incapable. |

The fact that something is old doesn't make it bad. Brainfuck is more recent than C++, but it's definitely not better.

My friend has a book... it is called C++ in 21 days. It's basically a 21 day class with a book as a teacher and you're the only student.
That's the basics, and some slightly more advanced stuff such as object oriented programming, all in three weeks.
Its not a waste of time, because you get a good grasp on a popular language, and if you dont like it then you still understand the logic of programming and know what kind of language would be better for you.

No, but the fact that something is old, usually means it's outdated.

No (knowlegde) is useless just because it's old. New knowlegde is most likely based old one, so you end up learning something anyways.
And with computer programming it dosn't matter that much if it is outdated when you are learning it, aslong as you learn the logic behind programming.
