What Programming Language?

[Conrad11]

Hi there,

I have done programs in .NET (VB & C#), but I would like to be able to develop small applications that don't need the .NET framework to run as it is very resource intensive.

I know I could develop in VB6 as the runtimes are included with xp, but I was hoping for something a bit different.

What do you suggest I try?

Thanks.

Any idea what type of system you want to develop?

Developing for windows - if that's what you meant?

*snip*... what do you want to do?

Ah i'm with you, hadn't a clue about any of that, so thanks for the info .

Well basically i am creating a little application that feeds off the Last.fm site so the user can play his/her "playlist" from my application with a few settings that can be changed.

...it's just something to keep me busy for a few hours and to a learn a few more things....basically all it would be is a web browser, but to make it a little more difficult for me i want to make my own "skin" for it using paint events in c#.net or something like that...
