The topic is pretty self explanatory. My first project is to build a reliable SMTP server.
I know ZERO (0) about programming... my first thought was Visual basic... but that is dying, plus it's too visual and I'm way too cool for that
No, seriously, it looks uterly unpowerfull.
Then I thought "let's do things right and go with C++"... but it's kinda kamikaze since it's so darn complicated.
So... I thought... Borland Delphi 2007!!!
I've read some guy recommending it... it seems it is similar to pascal (or based on it) and people recommended pascal to start... PLUS I've seen some projects @ sourceforge.net written in Delphi... plus it's not terrible complicates to begin with.
My medium-long term objective is to learn C++ and/or java... but right now I want a semi powerfull and semi easy language which I can use to write network applications with.
Whatcha think?
