Just a quick question

Should I learn Perl or Python?

I cant decide which to learn.

I was going to learn Perl because I have a "sams teach yourself perl in 21 days" book (and I perfer to learn off physical paper). But I just found out that Python has an interactive mode. Would Python's interactive mode make it easyer for me to learn :?:

edit: I just found out that Perl has an interactive mode too, but my question still stands.

learn ruby :D

But why limit your self to just perl or pyhon? Learn them both, you say you have the book for perl, so in that case start with perl and then move to python

Of those two, I would say python.

Then I would say to move on to something a little more advanced later.

I would say that C++ (or java...) wouldn't be too hard coming from python.

Then when you feel like a master computer programmer make yourself feel like a little newbie looking at Hello World in assembely.

Learning ASM kinda gives you a universal keygen. :wink:

depends on what ur working with, all exploits that ive made i only use Perl, but i prefer to work in python.

Though i find both limited (well im limited in my knoledge of them any way) so i tend to use C++ or if i have to VB

Ive never messed with preal but i am learning python and its VERY EASY! and you can do a lot of really neat things with it. And if your into that there is even Visual python!

I wwould say Python. Its amazingly easy to learn, the clean syntax makes it easily maintainable by you or someone else, it can do anything you can do in Perl, you can extend it with C (or java if you use Jython), its just a wonderful language!

Definately go with Python. Iy's very easy to learn and will make learning programming techniques and algorithms easier. Plus. interactive mode makes fooling around and seeing what happens easy to do.

I'd say both. I still have to learn pearl but I learned python at school.

Python is used in comw 210 at mnsu, The first programming language you take. Then Java hits yah at 211
