Whats the best language to learn for a beginer?

[serge2k]

I started with C++ in high school. Then Java.

Then Java for first year University (they switch the year I started).

Then we did more java and learned some ASM in second year.

Now in third year I'm still doing some java but doing C in my OS class, Scheme in programming languages (plus learning smalltalk so I can write my term paper), Prolog in functional/logic programming (with some LISP at the end of the course).

ASM is the language of the elite.

machine language ftw :P
i had to code in machine language for some uni class before they introduced us to asm (wasn't x86-32 though but instead some simple cpu with limited instruction set)

but really coding a complete app in asm is a waste of time.
smart coders know that they need to optimize critical portions of their applications, coding non-critical code in asm (such as init procedures, or code that only runs once or seldomly) takes away time that could be better spent improving/optimizing other parts of the app that matter (or implementing new features).

Here is Java in the 1st year.
Then some ASM on the 2nd year, when we'll deal with IC's and protoboards.
The rest is Java though.
But i think in some point we also see C#.

If you know Cobol or DB2 here, you can make 5 Grand/Month easy

Leaning Cobol to win 5000 Grand/month is not a joke though.

But you'd have to be programming in COBOL or DB2..
