Nah its C++ Thats what its called :) Its what you make "flash games" with if you have ever seen them on the internet. Its pretty easy but you jsut gotta learn the ermm Language and its sorta straight foward

Flash does not use C++. Flash uses Actionscript, and unless you are making Flash games, then only a basic knowledge is required. Learning Actionscript will not help you unless you become a Flash developer. Learning C++ would be useful, but I don't think it is the easiest to start off with.

C++ is used primarly in desktop applications. If you wanted to become a network systems developer, or someone who deals with server farms and datacenters, Perl, Python and PHP would be worth researching.

That thread was quite useful, it seems that i should try to learn php and c++ eventually though. I'm just wondering where to start out.

Learn programming logic and best practices first, that will make it easier to learn actual languages. C# if you want a .NET language, Java if you want or C++ which you can also use with .NET

Otherwise I would suggest Python, Ruby On Rails or you can always go for ColdFusion of Pascal ;p
