    Well, I want to start programming.
    I know HTML, CSS, PHP and a bit of JavaScript, but I want to learn another type of language, such as VB, C/C++, Java... My problem is that I have Ubuntu Linux, so VB is discarded.

    What programming language do you recommend me?

    VB = epic fail

    Java = nice and easy and powerful, slow (compared to C/C++, fast compared to VB)
    C/C++ = epic pwn, very very powerful language, uber fast, difficulty ranges depending on how good you want to be.

    But VB is a short road to disaster. Follow the golden light to the coffee that is Java. Or if you're pro, take a shortcut via C/C++ alley.

    FYI, I've studied java and c++...
    But I'm so damn lazy, so vb it is for now :lol:
    And I find Java a lot slower than vb... I guess I'll grab my old book and give it a try just to see.

    I wouldn't use Python, its just not as good IMO.
    For Neopets, Java is fine. C++ is also fine, but it would work best with command-line programs. I dunno what's Ichumon. Cheat programs are probably best in C++, but its really hard if you're planning to do memory hacking and stuff like that.
