If you guys are wondering … It's C#, that is my language of choice for the time being. C#, PowerShell, and of course, Python. What programming languages does everyone else up here like?
@cambridgeport90 I’m learning c++, and I hope to learn java soon
@TomatoLabyrinth interesting choices of languages. I'd be careful with Java, though because if you're not careful. Not everyone potentially using your application can natively use it. They have issues with screen readers. I would watch out for
@cambridgeport90 I’m learning C++ because it’s the only computer science class my school offers. I’m on a robotics team that uses Java to program the robot, so that’s why I want to learn it. Does the issue with Java have to do with the computer itself or Java? I’m not familiar with screen readers, is it a type of software?
@TomatoLabyrinth A screen reader is a software that translates everything that the computer outputs to the screen into speech and/or Braille for blind people. I've been blind all my life, so I sort of need one to function at all. The Java issue comes from the fact that the interfaces for screen readers to be able to talk to the GUIs created with it don't have the necessary components out of the box. For whatever reason, this is seemingly only a problem with desktop applications written in Java, not web applications.
@cambridgeport90 Interesting, I'll remember to use C++ if I'm making a program for other people. Accessibility should be a higher priority for Oracle, I think. Back to your original comment, why C#? Is it similar to C?
@TomatoLabyrinth C# is the sort of marriage, if you will, between Java and C++.
