    Hello everyone, I would like to start learning some language from ground up and have a pretty good knowledge about it and do freelance work and maybe in the future build a start-up company. Keeping in mind the technology trends, what do you think would be the best investment for such an adventure. Some options i have in mind are: iPhone programming, Silverlight, .Net etc. Can you give me some insight on this. Thank you all

    I'm going to make some assumptions based on what you have written. Since you are even mentioning iPhone programming, and mentioning Silverlight, and the fact that your end goal would be to create a start-up, but do freelance initially; is it safe to assume you would like to learn mobile development? Since development for iPhone is objective c and most others are not, it would mean making a decision to go the iPhone route vs. Windows/Droid/ETC route from the beginning. If you have an idea of the product you would like, it would probably be a good idea to do a cost / benefits analysis of going with iPhone development or not. Look at job postings, look at salaries, look at market share, consider who uses which mobile device (corporate professionals vs trend followers, etc). If my assumption regarding your pursuit of mobile development is wrong, you can ignore my entire post.

              He said he wanted to learn something from the ground up. Can't get anymore low-level than assembler.

                Ideally you would *want* to make *something*, that would be your passion and the language and tools to do it would all be incidental and learned along the way to making something you really like and believe in. Personally I find it really easy to learn stuff when it is in aid of whatever I'm actually interested in accomplishing.

                      Not good enough. You have manipulate the CPU with a AA battery and some wires on the leads of the CPU. Use a volt meter to check the results.

                                    I'm afraid I missed that before. Would I still be on time when I study it now, or has its future already passed? :)

                                        I'm afraid I missed that before. Would I still be on time when I study it now, or has its future already passed? :)

                                        We're working on version 2^n (codenamed two'to'n), so there's still time. :) Marc
