Hi Guys. I wanted to know which of these languages (pick more than 1 if applicable) is most important for someone programming a bot (windows desktop software) that continuously performs an action online (lets say like a myspace friend requester bot, etc):

ASP.NET with SQL Server
ASP.NET 2003
ASP.Net 3.5 using C#
ASP.Net 3.5 using VB
DotNet 2.0 using C#
DotNet 3.5 using C#
DotNet 2.0 using VB
Programming with C#
Programming with C++
Programming with C
Visual Basic 6
Visual Basic


Or is there something else I'm missing? Also if you could let me know which, if any, are not very important at all.

I'm a noob to programming, so someone with expert insight on this would be great!

  • None of them are important.
    Though you might want to skip plain VB and C.

    • Thanks for your response! Could you tell me which language (or what skills) are required to create such a program? There has to be some type of skill someone has that knows how to code a bot, no?

      I guess maybe I could better phrase my question: If I wanted to code such a bot, out of that list, what should be the first 3 languages I should learn to most effectively be able to complete the project?

      I hope that helps being a little more specific
  • C + PHP for webservice and you are in business
  • you can use any of them.. most popular for writing bots is c#, vb and c++
  • Thanks for the answers here. If on a linux server writing a bot with PHP / Java or a third language?
  • Personally i think vb is the easiest to understand if you plan to teach yourself. The syntax is pretty straight forward.
  • I've made countless for bots, and the easiest is C# and VB for this task as they got a really easy to use HttpWebRequest class.
  • You would want a language that supports recursion. Uh oh this could be a major blunderon my part , I want to say lisp, would be the best
  • We use JAVA and can help you write a bot... Just PM...
