[s]I´ll advice you go for JavaScript instead of php.(I think the future of php is been threatened anyway)[/s]
with js, its just one language for all(both client-side js and server-side with nodejs).Just give it a try and there are lost of online tut and free eBooks and lectures online especially from github.
Good luck in your new adventure.

dude no talk that thing

When starting programming learning, you may start from simple programming languages, such as C#, C++ or VB. Then, you can learn a more complicated one, such as Java.

if these ones are simple, then Python, Perl, Ruby are what

Javanian: C#

C# is a multi-paradigm programming language encompassing strong typing, imperative, declarative, functional, generic, object-oriented (class-based), and component-oriented programming disciplines. It was developed by Microsoft within its .NET initiative. C# is intended to be a simple, modern, general-purpose, object-oriented programming language.

Where can i learn C#?

LOL! What makes you think Java is more complicated than C++, VB or C#.

I would place Java, C# and VB on the same level in terms of complexity. From my experience, C++ is a bit more complicated.

Lol... Did you say C++ is simple and Java is complicated?

Have you ever asked yourself why Java dont use pointers?

Have you tried reading a well documented C++ codes before? I mean well documented.

PLEASE NEVER YOU CATEGORISE CPP AS A JUST SIMPLE LANGUAGE

There should be a thread on which people can ask for help.

Has anyone done any project on image pattern recognition before?
I need suggestions on algorithms that you used that worked. I spent
the last few weeks jumping from one paper to another and what I currently have
isn't working... I want to be able to identify images that are drawn on a phone screen for example.

e.g If I draw "A", the system should be able to recognize that what I have drawn is an "A" and not B.

Please help me if you've done something similar before. Thanks!

WebSolutnX:

That's coming from webdezzi - the king of actionscripts!
I respect his work with actionscript - I'm a fan.

see www.webdezzi.com
the guy's website is a killer one. looks more like a movie to me.
this actionscript thing, is it the python? and his site, was it designed with python? and can python be used to make cross-platform mobile apps?

Sun Microsystems have done so much in predefined class component. The free JDK comes with some powerful API. You should play with some of them.

The class component of what you'll need for this particular project should be included in the commercial version. Check it out.

BUT If you are good in vectors and metrix then you should be able to build classes that can scan pixelated images and assign the value to a character.

Thanks man, the only problem in my own case now is that I wouldn't be feeding scanned images, but images that will be drawn on smart phones screens and I am coding in python not in java.

Thanks

someone should please correct Me on this:
print str(now.month)+"/"+str(now.day)+"/"+str(now.year)+ "," + str(now.hour)+":"+str(now.minute)+":"+str(now.second).

I have fixed this now... by making another print for time on a new line.
Python is sweet... am kinda a noob, and am flowing easily. unlike my already taken lessons on java and php, python appears to be going well for me.
and I love webdazzi.com... if that site was designed using python, am so gonna learn python to the last, no matter the time. grin
