I want to put upon a Survey.

Which programming launguage do you use for windows application?

C
C++
C#
Delphi
J#
Java
VB.Net
Visual Basic
Others

java

which one is easiest to learn? though i am not in computer sciecne, i want to learn at least one.

prolly from the begining ie C

Java and .Net are most wanted these days.

To learn programming language, ya you can start with C which will teach u the technical processing of programming like looping, conditional checking etc. After learning it, you can move to other. I suggest to go .Net, since its quite interactive. I find bit boring. But after all its personal choice.

for windows application.... .net is cool.
About C as the starting language...umm...I am not quite sure of that. I started with C myself in highschool...where we didn't have to take any exam in computer science but were just taught for fun....but technically i will say I started with C++ as I learned nothing in C(bunkin in high school). C++ is more used these days because of its object oriented nature(~ C is still cool...don't worry C lovers.) You can start with Java...which some of my friends did if you are not really serious into programming and just want to do some stuff....cause Java has many stuff already written so u can always import stuff you like. If you are however, seriously considering programming, Java will not be a good choice to start with because transition from C++ to Java is really easy( in my personal experience) than transition from java to C++(according to many of my friend's experience).

Visual Basic is very easy...so if you wanna design some cool stuff without learning much of programming...its certainly a nice bet. Besides it is "Visual" which easiliy attracts many.

Dont we have more IT guys here in Sajha?

C#

Common guys i want more...

I believe your question contradicts!

" Which programming launguage do you use for windows application? " contradicts with your subject for the thread "MOST USED PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE".

Undoubtedly, the answer to the later one is C. C is the most used programming language for OSes, systems and all.

For a windows application, i presume .. any platform that uses the windows API would be considered to be a candidate for the most widely used language. .NET platform now, VB then .. perhaps win the title.

Sorry oldmaven

I seriously beg pardon for the wrong title.
This wont happen in the coming future.

Thank You!

For Win 32 programming Delphi - hands down is the most productive language.

If you want to do programming in a managed environment then .NET is the way to go. However keep in mind that it is basically a moving target and is evolving rapidly. For example there is a huge lot of difference in WPF/WCF (.NET 3.0) and NET 2.0 - the paradigm has shifted rapidly between .NET 2.0 and 3.0.

Java is a good choice if you have to do cross platform development. So are a numerous scripting language like python and especially Ruby.

I have been developing in Ada, C/C++, Delphi and C# - I find myself to be most productive (At least for Windows programming) in Delphi and C#. MFC/ATL is a pain to use.

Use C# to handle managed and unmanaged code. You can do anything in the world with C#. You can do C too but why reinvent the wheel? However, if you really want to invent something original use C.

Top ten programming languages based on their popularity
1. Java
2. C
3. C++
4. (Visual) Basic
5. PHP
6. Perl
7. Python
8. C#
9. Delphi
10. Java Script
