So i'm sinking my teeth into c++, i've been creating simple programs and such with it, but i'm ready to take my programming to the next level, i know c# pretty well because my buddy always needs help with his homework, and c# basically codes for you it seems. to get to the point what languages should i be learning? i want to "master" c++ but be experienced in other languages also.

Depends on what you want to code and do. What are you intentions? Coding user-end programs or something else?

This ^^^

I couldn't have said It better myself. For example, I perform a lot of website exploitations, so SQL Is an absolute must for me. PHP Is also quite Important.

As others have already said, it definitely depends on what you want to do.

However, if you want to master C++, take a look at the possibility of learning C first. C++ is basically like, a big OOP wrapper for C, and learning C will help you really understand alot of the inner workings of C++.

+ You can do ALOT with C/++. Not everything, but they are very powerful languages, and can be used together almost seamlessly. They are definitely my favorite cross-platform languages as well.

Learning C gets you pretty close to the lower-levels of abstraction (without going into ASM) too. Having a good base in C makes other languages easier to understand as well. (Not to mention, it lets you appreciate their high-level abstractions more), EX: Python, a really high-level language, compiles/interprets (this is on a spectrum) into something similar to C-Byte-Code./native machine instructions. Ergo knowing C can potentially make you a better Python programmer.

Hope that helped

I guess i'm still exploring what i really want to do, i enjoy making windows forms, like i want to make something a user can enjoy and it will help them. Like last night i decided to dip into c# quick since its pretty easy and i made a basic login prompt and when they logged in the were brought to a new page on the page it was a picture that said something about us being protectors of internet morality and i have a button that said "Start my journey" and when they pressed the button it brought them here. I like making things like that, and i code websites for people when they need me to. I feel i should learn PHP. How would someone go about making a program like spotify or something?
