My Opinion on Popular Languages


Recommended Posts

Autoit : 

  • Easy to learn BASIC-like syntax
  • Easy to make Windows Applications (GUI)
  • Very helpful 
  • Recommended for beginners 

C :

  • One of the most popular language
  • Low Level Language Support
  • High level features
  • Good for console applications
  • Modular Programming
  • Hard for beginners

C++ :

  • An updated version of C
  • Good for Console Applications
  • Not suitable for GUI
  • Advanced type of syntax
  • Many features
  • Not recommended for beginners

C# (C Sharp) :

  • C# is a simple ,modern,object oriented language derived from C++ and Java
  • Good for both Windows Apps and Console Apps 
  • The classes and data types are common to all of the .NET languages
  • C# includes native support for the COM and windows based applications.
  • Easy to beginners

Java :

  • Object Oriented
  • Looks familiar to existing programmers: related to C and C++:
  • No Pointers
  • Not so hard
  • Java does automatic garbage collection, which prevents memory leaks

"High level features" for C is questionable. BTW almost all items are questionable!

This wonderful site allows debugging and testing regular expressions (many flavors available). An absolute must have in your bookmarks.
Another excellent RegExp tutorial. Don't forget downloading your copy of up-to-date pcretest.exe and pcregrep.exe here
RegExp tutorial: enough to get started
PCRE v8.33 regexp documentation latest available release and currently implemented in AutoIt beta.

SQLitespeed is another feature-rich premier SQLite manager (includes import/export). Well worth a try.
SQLite Expert (freeware Personal Edition or payware Pro version) is a very useful SQLite database manager.
An excellent eBook covering almost every aspect of SQLite3: a must-read for anyone doing serious work.
SQL tutorial (covers "generic" SQL, but most of it applies to SQLite as well)
A work-in-progress SQLite3 tutorial. Don't miss other LxyzTHW pages!
SQLite official website with full documentation (may be newer than the SQLite library that comes standard with AutoIt)

Yup, and to counter argue I can say that I have worked with the QT framework which makes GUI in C++ non more horrible than in any other language.

Broken link? PM me and I'll send you the file!

What do you mean by "Not recmmended for beginners" under C++ - It's the first language I ever learned and I didn't find it hard at all.

Well I guess.

One man's opinion, is another man's garbage collection.

If I'm intent on insulting you or being rude, I will be obvious, not ambiguous about it.
