I wish to keep this question as broad as possible, I got a job in Linux environment. As of now, I am a programmer with VB.net only, now, I want/require to focus on multiple platform like Linux, windows, android and web apps simultaneously. I am open to learn new language for this purpose, the options I consider going to are JAVA and Python, from what I heard, Python is easy to use and tough on performance and deployment, and Java is good in mostly all common aspects like performance, deployment, libraries etc.
Could you please suggest what is good in terms of cross platform for both desktop apps and web apps production. I am open to any new software because vb.net is somewhat restricted to windows only (Linux is supported partly via third party software).
I will recommend python for sure 🙂
python runs on linux, windows, mac osx, iphone, android, ps2, ps3, psp, ipod nano&touch and more…
The standard library is very great
and you can do anything with it (games, ui, web dev…)
here is a list of program which are made in python:
