WHAT PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES DO YOU KNOW OR WANT TO LEARN

[guff]

but just saying print 'hello world' was what made python look so simple and appealing and beautiful to the world of retards like jmv and it's sad to see him die :'(

oh no now they have to use parentheses go to hell and die lawlz

yeah it is sad

now perl does something simpler than python :'(

yeah python's too hard now that it's more consistent 

also, relevant to your interests
it mostly works but exhibits somewhat strange behavior when dealing with newlines as input and i haven't updated it in forever

maybe you could do it too if you got over your fear of functions

i don't fear functions

i'm just mourning the loss of the print statement

[guff]

print('do too')

you're about to be mourning the loss of your face

If you're so upset with python 3.0 then don't use it. =0

EDIT:
I don't want to double post so I'll just edit.

Would any of you recommend trying to learn a language (specifically php and python) by just reading tutorials, or should I buy some books?

[bluaki]

I know some PHP, and that's it for serious programming languages.
I don't think HTML and CSS count as programming, just markup or whatever languages.
I also know the language used by a program called GlovePIE. It works as a programming language and is based off of several ones. But it's pretty obscure and only useful for emulating input.

And um I plan on learning Javascript and C++ sometime relatively soon maybe within a year or so. Maybe more languages like Python, Actionscript, Perl, Java, C, C#, etc later.

this is a good place to start

i think he was asking whether or not tutorials are a good idea versus lengthy comprehensive tomes on the languages not specific examples
but anyways i just go with the standard docs which includes a tutorial and the standard library reference

Um.. I guess that means online is fine.

btw Should I be learning 2.x or 3.0? I found a good tut, but it uses 2.x (I think)

Yeah, that's what I meant Guff.

and i simply gave him a tutorial/guide over telling him to buy a book

One of my friends tried using youtube tutorials to learn python.

i'm ashamed of the people i know

well 3.0 will probably eventually phase out 2 but not for a long while

Oh okay, I didn't want to have just learned something only to have to re-learn a lot of it.

there's really only a few superficial differences between 2.x and 3.0 (at least in terms of what a beginner would encounter) so it's not that big of a deal to go with 2.x tutorials and learn 3.0 given that there's not all that much support (in terms of both documentation and third-party modules) for 3.0 right now but there is the usual official stuff
