Best language to learn?


Recommended Posts

Steve,

Assuming you are talking about automating Mastercam I would recommend .NET, either C# or VB.NET, at least initially. .NET is more approachable that C++ with less of a learning curve and there are tons of resources out there too.

We have a getting started document and sample projects on our website under 3rd Party Developers that should be your starting point for Mastercam development once you have studied some general .NET

 C++, C#, vbscript, .net. Are there more?

You may also if you wish write Nethooks using F# or C++/Cli. I personally use C++/CLI since it gives access all the functions available in both the .NET API and the public chook SDK.
