Hi guys,

I'm looking at learning a more advanced language. I'm a high school student who currently uses Turing...and I'm looking at Java or C++. I'm open to any suggestions on languages to learn, books to use, web tutorials, whatever you guys think is the best way to learn by myself.

Thanks!

i'd suggest starting with c++ seeing that IT IS more useful (take that rizzix Wink ), but it doesnt really matter, cuz the syntax of the two are the same.. we have a great c++ and java forum on this site, and we'd be more than glad to help you out.

Neither. Both place too much overhead on learning.

Try something like Ruby. Especially with "irb" you can learn very quickly, and rapidly work your way up to advanced techniques.

haha, Dan's sensor messed up Martin's link Laughing though not much of a loss

I advice Ruby. IRB is amazing for learning.
