关于学习编程语言的问题。

[bobobo80]

能说说c++，java，perl，python，都有什么特色吗？
课上讲的c，我觉的不是很实用阿，我也只能算算线性回归，而只学学了一点点的vb，我觉得还实用一点，主要是简单和图形化吧。linux下可能是不太容易有这样图形化编程软件吧。

这位真是大哥，本来不打算回了，实在忍不住了。居然说c不实用。。。真不知道你怎么会跑这儿来

在下不才，虽然课本上的考的不错，但确实不知能做些什么实用小程序(除了数学应用题)，能不能举个例子？应用循环，数组，函数，指针。

谭氏C是骗人的

你们所说的谭氏是指谭浩强吗？我们学的就是他编的，清华大学出版社。

代码： 全选

aptitude search ~Gimplemented-in::c$ | less

会列出ubuntu中部分用c写的程序。

中文版没有翻的一段，关于选择语言的：

Appendix: Language Choice
Several people have asked what programming language they should learn first. There is no one answer, but consider these points:

* Use your friends. When asked "what operating system should I use, Windows, Unix, or Mac?", my answer is usually: "use whatever your friends use." The advantage you get from learning from your friends will offset any intrinsic difference between OS, or between programming languages. Also consider your future friends: the community of programmers that you will be a part of if you continue. Does your chosen language have a large growing community or a small dying one? Are there books, web sites, and online forums to get answers from? Do you like the people in those forums?
* Keep it simple. Programming languages such as C++ and Java are designed for professional development by large teams of experienced programmers who are concerned about the run-time efficiency of their code. As a result, these languages have complicated parts designed for these circumstances. You're concerned with learning to program. You don't need that complication. You want a language that was designed to be easy to learn and remember by a single new programmer.
* Play. Which way would you rather learn to play the piano: the normal, interactive way, in which you hear each note as soon as you hit a key, or "batch" mode, in which you only hear the notes after you finish a whole song? Clearly, interactive mode makes learning easier for the piano, and also for programming. Insist on a language with an interactive mode and use it.

Given these criteria, my recommendations for a first programming language would be Python or Scheme. But your circumstances may vary, and there are other good choices. If your age is a single-digit, you might prefer Alice or Squeak (older learners might also enjoy these). The important thing is that you choose and get started.


简单翻译：

选择第一门学习的语言，考虑三点：你的朋友用什么（那些你可以从他们身上学到东西的人用的是什么）？是否简单，对新手友好？是否是交互式的，能够及时得到反馈？

考虑这些，我的推荐是Python或Scheme。但是你的选择不一定和我一样，有其他的好 的选择。如果你的年龄只有一位数，推荐Alice或Squeak（年纪大的也可以选择这些）。重要的是你选了，而且开始学了。

那我们应怎样学Ｃ才好，大家指点下。

其实C语言用到的地方真的很多，不过说怎么才能学好，这个就要多应用了，简单的说就是自己编程序，调试。
C语言的基础很简单，学的时候明白了，但是真的应用起来，还是会出现各种问题。
举个最简单的例子：

代码： 全选

char array[10];
for (i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
           array[i] = i;

array[10]是多少？
实际上array[10]已经越界了，是不可用的，但是实际编程中缺经常会出现类似问题，解决这些BUG就需要经验了。
