Thanks, Although Im new to this board, I know that all boards have different cultures. But one thing they all have in common is the tar and feathering one receives by breaking rules. With that said. I have general questions about which languages to learn starting out. Would that be here or under another specific board relating to the language I am interested in?

That is a subject that has been discussed many times in the lounge. I would say; C# for all your application stuff, and a good grounding in JavaScript for all your client side web page stuff. If you are looking to develop mobile apps, then you would also need a good insight into Java (for Android Dev) and Objective C (for Apple IoS).

Hi, I am new here. Just wanting to say hello. I joined this site after lurking for awhile. I am new to the programming world, just hoping to learn a few things. Hawk
Welcome, you've landed in a good spot.

If you have a question related to a specific language the board for that language is probably your best bet, if it's a general question you might get away with it here. Unless everyone is in a collective bad mood (impossible to tell until it's too late). (But if you haven't picked one, I recommend Python, it's pretty easy to learn and the standard library is quite comprehensive.)

Thanks Dave, I figured this topic has come up quite a bit. And yes I agree with everything you mention here. Follow up, I see TONS of .net positions open in my area. (Southern PA) Is .net something I could jump into with no experience? If no, what would be a good stepping stone to get into .net? Also, If I were to tell you that I am a fairly intelligent guy, with laser-like focus on learning new skills, what time frame would it take to learn enough about .net (or any language) to get an entry level position. To give you a benchmark, I passed my CCNA cert after 7 weeks of studying on my own at home. Yes I know, learning a programming language is more involved and I expect to take much longer. Just looking for feedback.

Good luck and beware of trolls!

You should be fine then. Visit Microsoft website and download the free express editions of its products and dive in. C# MSDN Page[^]There are plenty articles and video tutorials on there as well.
