C, C++, HTML, Java.
From all these, which has better scope in future? I am Pursuing MCA now and seriously very confused about programming. Sometimes, when we get new question in C, I don't know how to initialize it?? I mean the steps.

I have to join institute for sure. Which will be better? Java or C????
Scope in India as well as US and high in salaries.

Thanx for your valuable replies

    Well HTML doesn't fit in with the others you listed (however its simple and you should know it). From my personal experience I think learning PHP would be best, and is often most applicable - especially now we are living in the 'cloud' with desktop software companies converting all their software into online apps (SAAS business models, etc).

    Those choices dont really make much sense. What are you trying to do? Web? Desktop? Mobile?

    First html is not a programming language. You can do web applications with the others, but I still think you are completely confused as your list of choices really doesnt make sense even with HTML removed. All of those are completely different from each other.

      I agree. PHP for web development as it allows for database interaction and dynamic web page creation. PHP is also one of the easiest to learn and deploy as compared to other alternatives.

      Knowing Java will help you develop both desktop and android apps.

    HTML is a different thing than other which you have listed. Anyway, As per current market trend, PHP and JAVA both are very trendy language to develop any website as well as mobile website. You can choose one from both. Both are excellent to make a bright career as a developer.

    All these languages you have mentioned have both pros and cons. For web programming, php is a must. For general use, I recommend java.

    PHP all the way....(at least to start)...then learn C# which is probably the easiest desktop programming language.

    The focus of all those languages are different. Even the nature of some is declarative while others are imperative. It's better to first learn the different paradigms.

    If you want to pursue a career in web development go for PHP, Ruby or Python (you might set yourself above all the "developers" with Ruby or Python) but you should definitely know HTML, JS and CSS to.

    Java is more "enterprisey" which can be good in terms of salaries.

    C is actually an "alpha" language. Interpreters and libraries for many languages are written in it so if you would prefer a career developing more low level stuff (low level in architecture) that would be the way to go. And I imagine it could be a lucrative career option to.

    I would suggest at least touching multiple language because I believe that a real developer (or software engineer) should not be limited by only one language.
