The latest craze, at least for web languages, is Ruby on Rails.

C# is still going to be around. F# is a functional language and will probably take over where vbscript left off when it comes to windows scripting. but C# is an Object Oriented language. Your comparing apples and oranges man.

The C programming language is a standardized programming language developed in the early 1970s by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie for use on the UNIX operating system. It has since spread to many other operating systems, and is one of the most widely used programming languages. C is prized for its efficiency, and is the most popular programming language for writing system software, though it is also used for writing applications. ...

I've heard of Object Oriented, Proceedural, and Strong type programming.

So cute! I've seen this one befoer, but enjoy it everytime! All the more pertainent to the new phenomenan of what can only be called "teen-computer-quasi-english" - u no wot eye meen?

Trick question - C _is_ the most popular programming language.\nWell to be honest, Java and VB are probably more popular in general (i.e. including home user hobbyists), but in the industry you'll find that C/C++ are more widely used.\n\nRawlyn.

The question of which is the "best" programming language has been the subject of debate for as long as there have been computers. Or well, more accurately, since we've had languages more user-friendly than raw assembler code and punch cards.\n\nThe answer is that there is no ONE ultimate programming language that is best for everything, just as there is no one car that is suitable for all purposes. I would not presume to drive the family SUV on a race track, and I wouldn't take a Formula One for a bit of off-roading fun either.\n\nSimilarly, part of software design is choosing the right tool for the job. Sure, if a language is flexible enough, you could probably MAKE it bend over backwards to suit a given purpose. But why re-invent the wheel?\n\nSo, personally, here are some examples...\n\nFor compiled applications that need to run on a desktop environment in Windows or Linux, my choice is...\nBorland Delphi\n\nFor web applications...\nMySQL with Python or PHP, depending on what's available on the server (I'll pick mod_php over CGI-only Python if those are the only choices).\n\nFor web applications requiring more interactivity on the client side, ActionScript 2 (Flash)\n\nFor automated text processing...\nPerl\n\nFor customization in AutoCAD...\nLisp\n\nFor just simple plain good old fun with a really elegant programming language and logical puzzles...\nForth

computer programming is basically giving computers a set of instructions.

there has been alot of work done in A.I. in LISP, but outside of AI the language doesn't see much use. For versatility, some version of C++ would probably be the best. For ease of use, I understand that python is a pretty good choice at this point, but I don't have any personal experience with it.\n\nIf your planning on doing such a program over the web, PHP/MySQL would be a good choice, and it's free as well.

Of course there is. And one of the best is "How to think like a Computer Scientist, Learning with Python". Python is better lenguage not only to learn to program but the best language available nowadays. \n\nVisit http://www.python.org to learn more about Python.\nVisit http://www.ibiblio.org/obp/thinkCSpy/ to read or download the book.

Yes; java is hot right now and could be a great benefit to you.  It teaches you a lot about low level lanquages and the computer interface to the hardware.  At times though I question the efficency of the language.  It takes a lot of time compared to some tools.
