So many languages >_<
Author
Yes, I'm learning C++, but when I get so far, I think, 'gee, what about Python, Perl, Pascal, Delphi, C, C#, A+, D, so many!'.
And of course that's only a few languages in the very many hundreds there are. I just need some advice on how to keep track on my studies with C++. I want to do DirectX/OpenGL programming_NOW_but of course I must know the basics before I can do the complicated.
My problem is I'm just a very impatient person, then sometimes I quit for a while, then pick it up, then quit etc... This isn't a good way to learn I know.
Any help?

1. Learn how to be patient
2. If you want to do DirectX/OpenGL programming, learn either C, C++, VB, Pascal (Delphi), or C#.
3. Screw other languages, you don''t have to know all of them. Don''t ever try to know all of them in a short period of time.
Current project: 2D in Direct3D engine.

You know I''ve done the same thing. All I can say is what I am trying to do now....focus on one language and become comfortable with it.
If you keep on jumping around then 2 years from now you will still be jumping from book to book and still know nothing. Or even worse...have nothing to show for your learned skill(s).

Very good points, thanks guys
I think I''ll stick with C++ - for the amount of resources, it''s speed, and the ''feeling'' it gives me to code in C++

yeah c++ is a good foundation, it makes learning other languages a snap. ( Man I can''t stand c# or java though!!! please no one flame me)
