Hi there,

Thinking to do some programming in Linux, but Linux itself comes with C, C++ compiler, Perl, Python and other shell scripts thing, which one is better and more suitable developing robust and portable programming?

Each language has it's advantages and disadvantages. For portability, I'd look to C, C++ or maybe perl. Shell scripts will only work on other linux machines that have the relevant shell installed. With C / C++, if you are careful with the headers you use, you should be able to recompile on another OS easily, and with perl, I don't think it's too great a development language. I prefer it for scripting, but it's quite good for portability in my opinion.

You were right about C and C++ but not for Perl because not every platform can run Perl I assumed, let say IBM AIX or HP-UX???

Actually, the last I was aware HP was including Perl in their HP-UX releases. If not it's a very simple matter to get the Perl source code and compile it on the HP box. The same is true of AIX, AFAIK. That's one nice thing about Perl, you can run it on practically anthing.

Just my $.02,

That is true and not true.

The true is Perl can be deploy and run, but there is still need to install perl runtime for certain platform unless it is compiled to that target platform before running.

The not true part is it is not similar to Java where a single JVM can run every platform where compiled once run anywhere.

I'm using C++ which is, like C, a very fast and programming language!
But the best way to find a good programming language is to search some stuff on languages which sound interesting and read the source code.

For portable programming Java is a good choice (the Java compiler comes with linux, too)! It's similar to C/C++ but without the confusing usage of pointers and some other stuff like c-strings ...

HTH!

Download some stuff about Java/C++/C on this page!

c language use gcc do some cool programming.

go to www.advancedlinuxprogramming.com

download the entire book of pdfs

study it and enjoy!!!!!!

: Hi there,
hi dear i think the most effective programming to learn would be perl
as it is easy along with being as powerful as c++
