What computer language is used to create applications in Window Based Computers?

Question

Was thinking about going into Java but found out that is mainly for web application. What type of language should I engage in to program application that you can buy in the store for your Windows computer??

Answer 1

I program using Microsoft Visual C 6.0.

There are other C/C++ packages and libraries.

Generally, you can use whatever programming language you like as long as it comes with a freely distributable run-time library.  Microsoft Visual C has the big advantage in that Windows comes with the library already.

Answer 2

Something like C++ or C.  There are many other computer languages for apps on Windows but I can't think of any off the top of my head right now.

Answer 3

Java is used for Windows, it's Javascript that's used for web based apps.  Javascript is an interpreted object oriented language that can run on practically any platform.

There are several choices, depending upon the kind of programming that interests you.  I personally like C/C++, but there's also Visual Basic, C# and others.
