What is the best computer language to learn.

What kind of computer are you?

For me, because I need to read and write MS Access database files, I chose to learn C# (currently slow going).
If you wanted to write for web page functionality, you might want to learn Java ( or some other coffee derivative ) - but maybe that's already long superceded by languages I never heard of.
Someone of high principals would learn Python
or
You couldn't do better than learn machine language on a Sinclair Spectrum - then you would appreciate how small a price the complexities of syntax in higher level languages is.

In the end, though, LOLCODE - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia for the win.

Well Java isnt really for web page functionality ... I think you are confusing it with Java Script which is not java.

For web pages php is THE language ( this BB is written in php ).

Java is similar to C# in fact C# was modelled around java. C# can only be run on MS OS and you need to have MS tools to develop. Java can run on just about any operating system and there are many free tools. Java is probably the most popular programming language at this point.

Java is Object Oriented and has a mature API.

C++ ( not c# ) is a good language to learn if you really want to get down to the nuts and bolts of how a computer works.

Along the way you will probably need SQL and some DB knowledge.

Yes, Tom, it seems that the older I get the more I conflate.
