What would be a good second language to learn (for a C# programmer)
Which languages should I learn to diversify my knowledge base. I want to become a better coder and figure I should know some different langauges, different ways to tackle problems etc. I currently know C#, Vb.net, SQL fairly well and have experience with Lisp and Prolog. Just looking for some guidance. I was thinking about PHP and eventually making something on Android (Java).
Ruby because its funner, has more paradigms, and is more useful then python.
(really, just kidding :-))
I would recommend learning a bunch of programming styles instead of specific languages.
Procedural, Object Oriented, Functional, Logical, etc... languages are mostly just syntax. It's the paradigms that make the real difference.
It is based on your working requirement and environment. Say, what everybody else is learning or using?
If you look for another language to repeat what you could do with C# or VB.net, then I would say please don't.
On the other hand, if you wanna know another way of express your idea, learn a scripting language.
I would recommand Perl, which is very helpful for system administration roles and is old enough to have tons of libs :)
