C++ is very widely used and may be suitable for many applications, but not all - especially if you are doing any serious database applications. Again, it just depends on the application.

Try a Google search with "create windows applications".

Why would you want to restrict yourself to creating applications for only one operating system?
QUOTE C++ is very widely used and may be suitable for many applications, but not all - especially if you are doing any serious database applications. But I don't see what the language has to do with database applications, since all(?) languages will provide an interface to SQL. Actually Lisp is probably the best language to learn... |

what about perl. what can it do? Fundamentally it "can do" more or less anything, and the same is true of all ("proper", i.e. Turing-comple) programming languages. But "can do" isn't the question to ask - the question should be how efficiently you can turn your ideas into working code. For some cases, if execution time is critical the choice may be more limited. ... but there's a _very_ interesting article about Lisp, here: http://www.paulgraham.com/avg.html |
