trq Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Quote but i don't know any computer programming languages. Don't you know php? Your choose of language really ought depend on what the application is designed to do and the fautures you'll need. C# is a microsoft tech (there are some *nix based implimentations around however) so in some ways you'll be stuck, while C++ is platform independant. Depending on what your application is designed to do however, you might not even need to go so fare as C++ or C#, Python is quite a capable language with allot of libraries available and is very easy to learn.

shlumph Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 C# would be the easier language to learn. C++ can be very difficult. I wouldn't recommend learning C++ as your first language.

deadonarrival Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 But if you already know PHP you've got a start. What sort of functionality are you looking for? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/93420-c-or-c/#findComment-486589 Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidglitter Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 i've known php for 3-4 years now. the kind of program i want to make would be super easy with php and mysql. i just want to make a really simple spreadsheet kind of program to keep track of what i spend. is c++ very different from php?

fert Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 The syntax of PHP is very similar to C++ Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/93420-c-or-c/#findComment-494508 Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadonarrival Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 You may aswell just use microsoft access or something similar. Make a database of income and outgoing tables. Then just do some quick maths, add up what's gone in and out, and display whatever you need. No point making a bespoke package in C[whatever] when it can be achieved faster in something else Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/93420-c-or-c/#findComment-495419 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shlumph Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Except to learn something new Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/93420-c-or-c/#findComment-495474 Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadonarrival Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I'll concede that shlumph - but if I was going to learn something new I'd choose something more related to the language. Eg I wouldn't try to learn C by making a web forum system, nor would I try to make a text editor using PHP Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/93420-c-or-c/#findComment-496044 Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidglitter Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 it would be faster the other way, but the reason i'm even doing this is because i want to try making my own program and this is something i kind of need right now. so i guess if i ever find the time i'll start trying to learn c++. thanks for all of the replies Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/93420-c-or-c/#findComment-496291 Share on other sites More sharing options...
