Which language to create web bots? [closed]

Question

I want to start writing code. I am a beginner on Visual Basic but I think it limits my ideas so I want to start writing in a different language. I would be happy if you could answer my question:

I want to develop little or big software that will do automated things on web. I mean, on a button click, it will search a word etc. I know there are many of them, but I don't know one that can do these on a Flash application. I want this little software to do these on Flash, especially.

Answer 1

While learning a specific language is important, it might be best to start by learning the basics of coding at a higher level than what Visual Basic can provide. I recommend looking into python. That link will walk you through not only the basics of python, but also more advanced functionality and give you insight into the world of programming and the capabilities of writing code. From here you will have an easier time switching languages because for the most part it will be a syntax switch.

Best of luck.

Answer 2

Not really an answer, but this is probably too long for a comment.

First, your English is pretty good. People will edit your posts, and you might be able to learn from their edits, so you can improve your English.

Second, welcome to development. Although I kind of hate VB, it really does not limit your ideas. There are many things possible.

I prefer Java, and if I was helping a young man getting started, I would steer them towards learning that language. One advantage of using Java is that many tools (such as eclipse) are free, and there are many experts on this site. Ask a question and you will get good answers.

I don't know much about Flash development, but be careful not to get caught up in the "wow factor" prior to learning what you are doing.

Good luck and keep programming.
