Alfa36H Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I am interested in learning to script, specifically to make little scripts for my Cisco Router. What would be good resources to look at? Would I need to know a specific computer language? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infiltrator Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I would suggest Python and PHP, very flexible and easy to learn. Now if you want to do a bit more than scripting like proper programming than learn C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoyBoy Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I would recommend you start with python. It is a very nice language with a lot of cool features, such as lambda functions. In my opinion, php is dirty and teaches bad habits, so I recommend holding off on that until you learn C (after python.) C++ is another dirty, dirty language, but C++ proficiency is a valuable skill. I would hold off on learning C++ for a little while though, mostly because it can be extremely discouraging. If you are interested in something totally different, check out erlang. I've recently started using erlang regularly, and I really like some of the things it lets me do. To sum up the above wall of text, start with python.

Alfa36H Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 Thanks for all the great resources. I have done some programming, mostly with Java and a little with C++. I will look into Python. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
