Hi :) What are 'the best' languages to choose? Python and/or C++? or something else?
I know 'the best' is a bit subject to personal feelings and knowledge and experience but it would be interesting to hear people's opinions. From what i can gather Python and C++ are teh best although mainstream seems to rate Java more highly and it appears in job ads more often. On the other hand when jobs ask for C++ the pay-grade is far higher. I got as far as Speccy Basic, a little pascal and some machine code but i think that's all soooo far behind me that i doubt i could write much even in those languages now (&machine code was a tfn and only ever worked on the specific machine i wrote for (at best)).

It is almost useless for anything outside the UNO scope. (Apart from that, it is the worst implementation of an extinct language). -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
