Well I actually don't have much experience at all in any language,
However since it interests me I scoped out this forum and now I'm here.
Going to make use of all the information here and hopefully learn a few languages.

Welcome to our forums Gabriel!

Are you interested in working close with the system, games, or web development? There are a lot of languages to try out and I am sure you'll find something interesting.

Alexander.

Thank you. I'm actually quite interested in languages used mainly in the development of videogames.
Have always found that to be the most interesting.

Ah, there are various libraries for game development depending on what you want to do (2D, 3D games, scripting.)

Some of the major games are designed with C++ with Direct X, or OpenGL, however these are often very hard to learn. There are smaller libraries such as Allegro or SDL for C++ that can perform nicely, and scripting languages such as Python (with PyGame) to create games in a more straightforward manner.

Java could also be a good contender have you, its abstraction and base libraries for graphics are key elements.
