I am already learning Visual basic, SQL, C++, HTML, XML, JAVA, Python, Php, FLASH, Should I even bother with Pascal at all? Is it even still really used? From what I heard Delphi came from that and it seems to be getting popular.. idunno, what do you guys think?
Is it worth learning Pascal anymore?
Pascal is used more as a High School programming language because it deals well with logic. When you delve into deeper studies you will most likely not use Pascal.
It has been my experience that your programming code of choice depends on where your interests lie. In your question you mentioned code that is used for scripting, as well as code that is used for hard core programming. Most colleges are evolving away from the Pascal and FORTRAN classes into C/C+, Java, using these compilations to build cgi scripts for the web.
As a software engineer I can tell you in my field, which is multimedia presentation and training, ActionScript (Flash), JavaScript, HTML/XML, and some server side scripting like Php are important in a Windows neutral environment, while C# and Visual Basic are very important especially when dealing in a Net 2.0 environment.
The field is pretty wide, and logic is logic, syntax is syntax. Designer code will be out there and touted as something special, but if you know your field of interest you should maintain your focus and get some actual experience. Know some scripting and some basic hard coding and put it into practice.
Reply:Gimp has extensions similar to pascal. You shouldn't learn all those languages at the same time. Devote to 1. html and xml aren't programming languages
Reply:Pascal is great for teaching programming logic because it always follows logical order.
From what you've said, I'm pretty sure that you understand programming logic.
It isn't widely used at all.
Right now I'm learning it at the high school level.
but actually Pascal is used a lot to make video games.
