What languages would you recommend to learn for a beginner web developer? There are so many different ones, which are good to start with?

Welcome to /fglt/. We are always open to users of all levels, including absolute beginners.
There are four ways to try GNU/Linux, you can:
0) Install a GNU/Linux OS on a VM (Virtual Machine/VirtualBox) for "safety purposes"
1) Use the Live ISO directly without installing anything, that way, you can get a "full GNU/Linux experience".
2) Dual-boot GNU/Linux with Windows/Mac (recommended if you want to learn more about GNU/Linux)
3) Go balls deep and overwrite everything with GNU/Linux
Before asking, please search for answers to your questions in resources.
Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly GNU/Linux Thread.
Understand that much of your software from Windows will be unavailable, although maybe WINE can make up for it.

why do nerds use linux do you enjoy programming everything just to make it functional?
>>54273918
My computer usage atrophied so much that Linux distributions do pretty much everything I need, but better.
>>54273956
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.
Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell
utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU
which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a
part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system
that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.
The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself;
it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is
normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system
is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux"
distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

I'm not effay by any degree. Are there any rules for matching a NATO strap with your dial color? Like are there any color combinations to avoid? I am thinking about putting a black or silver zulu strap on this.

Was arguing with someone over in /v/ about whether Java is better than C++ (it obviously is, he's a total idiot). What do you guys think of my reasoning:
Java is a higher level language, which makes it not only easier to use, but also much more aesthetically pleasant than C++. Also, it's still an incredibly powerful language (quite possibly more so than C++). No one uses C++ anymore, it's on its way out.
>>54282726
>aesthetically pleasant
>incredibly powerful
How about some actual benefits like "Java is write once run everywhere" or "C++ allows for manual memory management"?
>>>/v/
They're both better than the other at different things. Learn both and kill yourself for making yet another "which language is better" thread.

What's wrong with my code? Why doesn't this work?#define BUFFERSIZE 80
typedef struct {
char* buffer;
int size;
} *Field, _Field;Field Field_new(void) {
Field f = malloc(sizeof(_Field));
assert(f);
f->size = BUFFERSIZE;
f->buffer = malloc(sizeof(char) * f->size);
assert(f->buffer);
f->buffer[0] = '\0';
return f;
}
I'm getting segmentation faults and don't know why. Halp?
