I don’t really want to go in depth into programming, I just want to know what I’m looking at if I ever come across anything like that at my job (mechanical engineering) and maybe solve some simple problems.

I learned C and Java in my first year in college, but it’s all mostly forgotten. I’m leaning towards Python since I read it’s relatively simple and used a lot nowadays, and it’s what my teachers used later on in college anyway.

What do you guys think?

Thanks in advance!

    Python is easy to pick up but it is very different from Java/C/C++ so it may or may not help you in understanding other people’s work. If you are just messing around I would recommend looking at Python, Processing.org (Java) and Arduino(C++). If you can solve the same simple problems with all three you will be set for most anything (and you get to play around with Arduinos).
