Dear Friends ! I want to start to learn a computer programming language. I can't do it full time because I am very busy at my work. I have a dream to write a new chess program in future. So, I met my friends and asked what sort of language they would recommend. As you can guess they sent me in different directions ! I found a book in the local library "Visual Basic 4 for windows for dummies". Of course it is quite old book because the latest version of Basic is 6. I started to read it every evening and found it very interesting and simple for my understanding (my native language is Russian). And the author give a good hint. He writes if speed crucial, Visual Basic is not a wise choice. And he recommends C++ or Delphi. I heard about these languages from my friends and one of them strongly recommended Delphi. So, do you know which sort of languages did use the authors of the famous chess programs like Fritz, Crafty, Junior, Nimzo, e.t.c ? What language will you recommend for me to learn ? I prefer to work with books alone then attend courses. Which books would you recommend ? Maybe I will use the knowledge of this language to change my future career. Best wishes Anatoli
