Obj-C/iOS SDK or Java/Android SDK, unfortunately...

At least, if you want to do non-web development.

I'm actually an ios dev, and looking to branch out.

- Can you create a poll for this? I will like to know people's choices.

ktran03OP12y ago

That would be ideal, but I don't have enough points to create a poll yet.

It doesn't matter, each of them would do, no matter how niche if you can become really good at it.

...but if you can learn only 1 programming language, you won't.

C++,Python, PHP & Ruby as I <3 building Web Apps

Python most def :-)

- Java.
