its very important that you understand and can write APL code.

Quote from: kokjo on November 12, 2013, 03:59:16 AM

no only APL and perl.

sed and awk are super hot right now too.

true, and all the network code is written in bash with nc.

I can't help wondering how many people don't realize that you are being sarcastic and facetious.

So he wants to learn and ask for advices and everyone tell him bullshit ?

Thank, I have found some tuts on YouTube which might help. I am assuming most Bitcoin source uses a mix of various languages?

I would suggest Go

Learning to write C++ well is 10-20 years of pain and hard work.
Nothing wrong with getting your feet wet but you should be aware of that.

C however is much easier to get a proper handle on, but then you have to consider using Go instead.
With Go you get the mix of a system level language with high priority on web technology.

On the Linux platform, I find QtCreator to be the superior development environment for C/C++

For Go, Sublime Text with the GoSublime addon is excellent

I think I will start by learning some basics from Java and C+.

$Gangnam works hard, so you don't have to.

You should learn how to speak basic C and C++, and then STL and Boost stuff.

Yesterday I decided to try out Linux for the fist time, I really like the OS and I also feel spurred on to to learn some programming skills which is one area that holds my projects back. I have been searching around in various crypto related source files but I am finding it difficult to pin point what programming language is actually being used in most cases?

So what language would you recommend for a new programmer interested in cryto-currency, which is also most relevant to future development as HTML5 is for web? Also perhaps you could recommend some learning resources you found useful learning? Thanks.

Start with basic concepts if you haven't yet. These are great.
http://codecombat.com
http://codecademy.com
https://www.khanacademy.org/cs/programming

It's going to be multi-year journey. Don't be discouraged. Start small, tweak, break things and see why it happens.

For crypto-currency? The satoshi client (the official client) is written in C++. That's going to be difficult to learn to start with. The other one, which will be easier to delve into is the coinpunk wallet, which is written in JavaScript (http://coinpunk.org/beta.html). Javascript has grown tremendously in the past few years and there are various tools and frameworks using javascript. But you don't need to know the language of the client to code with crypto-currencies (or interact with the blockchain).

Good luck!
