- Language to learn
Kirk in Loiusville, Texas, wants to learn a programming language that can be used across multiple platforms (PC, Mac, Palm, Pocket PC, and so on). What language should he learn?
A popular language to learn is C. It's often used to create software, but the major obstacle is the user interface. You have to create individual UIs for each platform.
Leo recommends learning Java. While most people associate Java with the Internet, it's actually a programming language designed for use across multiple platforms.
When you write a program, you compile it for conversion into machine code so your computer/device can read the code. Java compiles to pseudo code, which is then read by a virtual machine. The virtual machine reads the code and runs the application.
Many people don't like Java because it's not the most efficient way to run an application, and it's not aesthetically pleasing. If you want true cross-platform programming, though, Java is a good solution.
