Hi, Disclaimer : the content here expressed beneath is absolutely my own opinion, kindly ignore if you find the content inadequate/inappropriate.The following is my suggestion for a beginner.
When ranking language of priority to code, it is absolutely a situational choice and cannot be passed as judgments. In a beginners perspective, it is better to start with PLT(programming logics and techniques). basically this is a exercise which tells how to anatomize a problem by slicing it into small parts and solve them by using techniques. Learning this gives clear understanding about the problem definition and enriches the analytical thinking process. Whether we like or not, we have to start with a language to depict our idea into a program, i believe many people here given valuable feedbacks,take one prescription and put your heart mind and soul in getting your skills fine tune in such a way that you get your confidence upbeat that you can express your idea digitally. I would say ,initially you may ended in selecting a wrong choice, and if you arrived a solution that you are partnering with a wrong tool, relinquish it and search for the better bet for the problem. After all civilization evolved by error and correction method. Talking on a specific instance , The best thing about learning is keeping the choice of tools open.In my limited knowledge i found some branch of ruby seems interesting for me in leveraging in microcontroller development (http://rad.rubyforge.org/). While on the other hand i am eager to learn what is there in offering from the python campus (http://pyastra.sourceforge.net/). I am eager in learning tools, and believe delivering solution is the paramount objective. I believe being a language lawyer is no good ;). cheers Thyagarajan Shanmugham PS: for beginners, use ilugc meeting to present a solution with what you have learnt, this exercise does not need the language skill like that of Mr.Samuel johnson or technical skill like that of Mr.Torvalds. In this way, people who are coming for the session will help and cheer you, thus you will be motivated. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email ilugc-requ...@ae.iitm.ac.in with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
