It has been decided!

Ok, guys, for those of you who know already I have been looking for a language to learn. I know quite a few OLD languages, and I am even quite fluent in C, but I needed an OO language that I can develop scripts and such for this site. I have decided on Python. It has come with great reviews, and is actually easier to handle forms and such than perl. I have searched and searched for info pertaining to this and it has all pointed me to the same direction. I guess my first script will be a news automater for the news page, because if updating that news page isn't hell, then I dont' know what is!

This is an old post, but I'm new so... I'll reply since no one else did.

Just curious how you are liking Python 2 monthes later? Is it what you expected?

I'm still fairly new to programming. Working on C++, and then I'll be moving on to Perl once I'm comfortable enough with C++.

My choice for C++ was: 1st My friend is learning it in University and said I should as well so it will help when I go there. 2nd Thats what the Linux Kernel is mostly written in!

Actually the Linux kernel is written in C not C++.

I am loving Python! It is an awesome language with a lot of the power of C. Hopefully you guys will soon be able to see the email proggy I created using python, I am just waiting for all the gadgets to be set up so you can have an @getlinuxonline.com addy.

P.S. I knew most of the kernel was written in C, but I was confused too I guess, I thought there were quite a few additions of C++ to the kernel
