<p>Hey guys!</p>
<p>Thanks for all of the posts, these have helped me a LOT!</p>
<p>I have recently been dabbling in jQuery and Objective-C, and I’m thinking perhaps even C#.</p>
<p>I’ve learned that pretty much the best thing, in my opinion, you can do to begin, is just to start! I started with jQuery, with which the term “programming language” applies quite loosely, and I have begun to pick it up quite quickly.</p>
<p>Exploring Objective-C along with jQuery, just for fun so I can develop my own Mac and iOS applications, I have even noticed similarities between the two!</p>
<p>I love jQuery because it’s so awesome just to visually see some nice enhancements to your website right on the fly, and it’s quite an intuitive framework to work with. Short, sweet, clean and fun, really the way JS should be.</p>
<p>Objective-C is awesome because it’s local development. Kind of a different angle to programming than jQuery and JS. It’s quite powerful, and it’s also Object Oriented, completely different than jQuery and JS which are both quite procedural in my opinion.</p>
<p>I would like to even dabble in C# to get a little feel of that along with Microsoft’s XNA Game Studio. I like the fact that when I do some programming, my experience picks up, and when I switch back and forth between languages, I just need to think of a different syntax and a few different methods or actions that are available to me.</p>
<p>I think I chose some pretty safe options too. I don’t think jQuery is going anywhere because of all it’s major adopters, such as Google. And let’s face it, whether you love or hate Apple, Jobs has had Objective-C neatly wrapped up with him since NextSTP, so it’ll most likely be around for quite some time too.</p>
<p>I like the concept of C# because I think there is not too bad of a market out there because with XNA Game Studio you have the market of the XBOX 360, Windows Phone and of course, the PC.</p>
<p>I’m starting with the iPhone and Objective-C though, because who could beat that.</p>
<p>I honestly don’t know if I’m going to chose Computer Science as a major. I’m not 100% sure yet, but I think my time may be better off spent on having my education grown in Business or Economics or something of the like, perhaps with a minor in Psychology, and then program as a hobby and add it to my “business” if I ever get there.</p>
<p>I really appreciate all the help from you guys, and if you have any more insight or opinions about the path I’m considering, please let me know!</p>
<p>Thanks again!!</p>
