My newest conquest???

Ok, going to be a sophomore I am required to learn a new language. My school has German and Spanish. I have chosen German, because I don't want to learn Spanish at this time.

I have gotten Rosetta Stone for German so I am going to self teach myself before school.

Also, I want to make my own homebrew, and other stuff so I am going to attempt to teach myself C++.

If I succeed and find out how you guys will be my beta testers.

So, that is my latest goals, I will probably update this, if anyone has any help hook a brotha up?

I'll be learning C++ next year. I think you should start out with a different language, like VB or something, but it's up to you. As for the language, you never know, they might use Rosetta Stone at your school. I've heard of that. Also see if your school has any Programming classes. It may be called Computer Science or something, but I know schools do it, I just don't know if yours does.

My school is ridiculous they have comp tech which is typing and documents...have a 100 in there, everybody cheats off me...

I've tried ruby but ditched the idea.

Start with something easy like Visual Basic. Then learn C++. If you are still interested in more languages, I recommend Java next. Then try Python or Flash, but don't learn Flash unless you plan to make flash games or animations for the internet. Otherwise, it's useless. You should be done C++ by the end of Junior year. Then Java should come soon after. by the time you've learned Java, you should be really experienced. Then try Python, but don't unlike VB and C++, don't stick with it if you don't like it. If you quit Python, or when you're done, I recommend a superset of C such as Visual C# (Windows) or Objective-C (Mac and iPhone). These will be easy if you already know C++. But really, after Java (or even C++), you're free to do whatever you want. I say free in the sense that you should be able to learn it fairly easily. However, without VB or C++, you'll be lost. Not necessarily, but it really helps to know these. Just do some research on what interests you. There's D, or you could go for a low-level language like assembly.
