- I'm 16 years old. I lave taught myself C, C++, Assembler, BASIC, Pascal,
- UNIX ShellScript, LISP, and a little FORTRAN. Personally, I prefer Pascal
- or C, due to their compatibilty, support, and respective ease of use. For
- a high school course, shoot for Pascal or C; Stay away from BASIC, and
- run from HyperCard; it's more of a toy to most high level programmers
- (for you HyperCard users, don't get all angry at me. I use HyperCard,
- even written at least a dozen elaborate stacks for it, but you can't
- exactly rewrite a copy of X-Wing or remake Stratavision 3d with it). To
- me, knowing Pascal well has made it easier to learn the other languages,
- so I'd say that's you're best bet. Go with Codewarrior; If you decide to
- keep with the times, you can move the class to C or C++ in the future.
