Look at the textbox beside "Your Display Name" and change that to something that is free ("Jocka" is taken by an existing member so you can't use just that). Press the "Save my Settings" button.

    Why are you giving it to him for free when I had to pay £5??? ;) Besides, it's a SPA anyway, so Jocka2 will be appropriate... :doh:

            hey guys,my name is joakim,but you can call me jocka.Anyway,so i have always wanted to know how many programming languages do i have to know in order to make an effective app,like lets say a game or a social media app,and is it possible to combine two different types of languages together?:confused:

            Two different things, I'll pick the latter. Web front-end: Javascript HTML (not a language, but you have to know it) Web back-end: The blue pill: C# The red pill (poison): Python / Ruby / Javascript, et al. But more importantly, for both front and back ends, you are going to have to choose from a variety of frameworks. Almost always jQuery for the front end, plus whatever you want to do with making it look better than plain vanilla HTML controls. Then there's a variety of MVC frameworks to choose from, like Angular, Backbone, etc. On the back-end, you have the same nightmare. Do you roll your own web server, use ASP.NET, Razor, or if you chose the red pill, buy into the framework, like Django, Ruby on Rails, node.js, respectively. It's a mess. As to combining different types of languages together, sure, you can call C++ with C#, you can call C with Python/Ruby/Javascript extensions, if you want a desktop app that runs a web app, you can use CefSharp to write stuff in C# and talk to Javascript, and vice-versa. It's a mess. Marc

                    Learn what you need to complete the project. Every project is different. It's as much about your chosen framework as it is the language you choose. The chosen framework can be a factor in choosing the language. Conversely, the language you *prefer* will be a factor in choosing the appropriate framework. All of this will be dependent on the chosen platform (PC, Mac, Mobile, Web). Many times, at least ONE of those factors will be a requirement of the customer, possibly two, and most likely all three. Go forth, and code.

                          Compared to pure desktop development, web development is an ugly beast. If your main goal is to learn programming and not to develop some web app then I'd suggest to start with desktop development and then work your way from there.

                            to be honest, you're VERY far from serious application development if you ask these type of questions. Of course, nothing prevents you from learning. There's much more to "programming" than you would think. my article[^] explains this to some extend. Rarely is a large application a one man job. Asking how many languages you need to know is irrelevant. You´ll need to understand the concepts, you'll need to build up experience and you'll need to learn how to design systems properly. And when you have all that knowledge and know-how, you'll need time to do it. So basically you'll need to learn to crawl before you walk. Start with hello world and move on to more difficult algorithms, IO systems, web services, database design, patterns, best practices. When you get more experienced the languages will come as needed: C#, C++, java, python, javascript and "secundary" languages like HTML, XML and SQL. (and more) You'll also learn the best tools to use for each of these. Grab a book, follow courses and get your hands dirty from basic towards advanced and things will become clear quickly. hope this helps.

                                    Learn 1 programming language and the theory. This will allow you to write in any language without learning them. Eventually you'll learn all languages you need from using them. P.S. Learn to use google and to read reference manuals. P.P.S. Learn English before any programming language.

                                      If you want to make a game I would recommend C# language with the Unity engine which are easy and very strong.Imagine some of the best selling games are made with this combo.For an android application I would recommend java which is very similar to C# .

                                        Hello Member12502619 ! To be an honest programmer, you should master at least 3 high level languages and two level languages (assembler and VB6 are the choices of most). You can combine several languages together, but then you will need to translate the code to english and use the plain english compiler. Cheers !

                                        Do not escape reality : improve reality !
