Moving on Up
I'm actually one of those guys who went ahead and learned Java first, and now I'm trying to expand my knowledge. I'm taking a course in VB.net at my college, and just generally looking around at other languages (Python included).
I've also read up a little on C and C++, but I'm not sure if that would be the greatest language to really buckle down and learn right now. The biggest advantage I see in it is creating independent applications, that don't rely on a runtime environment. However, it seems to be extremely difficult to find any good tutorials on graphics, sounds, etc.
I'm getting kind of disillusioned in my search right now - I don't see the advantage of learning C++ if I'm limited to command line applications. It seems I might as well just use Python or Java.
I usually program on a Mac, so VC++ is pretty much out of the question. However, I'm perfectly willing to learn to develop using GTK or some other Unix based system, it will at least get me started and teach me how to use the librarys. Anyone have any tips on where I could go to learn how to do that kind of thing?
Thanks in advance.
