What's the best programming language for BOT coding?

Your correct i mean CLI
You can do it with COM and shell all you need to do is to create an loop for it like an timer ticking lets say with 1 sec interval.
Create some locks and set your tasks into timer that's it.
Nothing insane.

If you want to JUST develop bots and nothing else, then VB.NET - although as a long time developer I see this language as much more clunkier and generally less clean than C#, which is really simple and clean, you just need be more careful with it - it's strongly-typed language, so it requires more careful programming, more "professional"...
 
for cli only / cron, i use php+curl.
tried python, ruby and even bash.
php still my favorite.

as for desktop+cli mode, i use delphi ... it simply rocks.
i've tried c#, c++, vb and even autoit.
no other development tools can match,
how easy to develop apps with delphi
and portable+robust the executable.
the exe can easily be executed on linux machine with wine.
 
I agree with PHP also, especially since if you are hiring people they are the cheapest and you can find them much easier than for other languages, at least in my experience... about the languages, anyways I think the main thing is that you need to just spend some time diagramming the software, especially if you're outsourcing it. I spent a lot of time learning about UML and now use this for all apps / bots that I have built, it ends up that the logic in these isn't as complex as it initially seems once you get it laid out in a diagram and put some thought into the object oriented aspects of it since this helps to clarify it before work is even begun and then no time is wasted

interesting point and true... one project at the moment i am working on is php rather than perl purely based on the cost of getting extra freelancers onboard. every man and his dog can code in php. it almost doesn't have any learning curve at all :D

i like the concept of UML but it's never worked out as all that useful on real projects for me. maybe just me or the team i was in - who knows :08:
 
I personally prefer PHP but i am not a BOT maker.Just a simple PHP coder
 
i have to say i was dissapointed in python and the lack of pro frameworks/libraries

rather go c# o c++ or maybe perl because you will reallize syntax is easy, support is hard

actually screw what i just said, when you are able to create anything decent you will be able to handle any syntax, the hard part is learning how to program and that is just a bunch of headache and experience my friend

oh and the most important thing: learn by making things, dont make by learning things

After lot of research and programming and releasing around 10 bots now for windows , I would say C# is a good language to master. If you depend only on httpwebrequest class , you are screwed, code your own http socket implementation, its fairly easy if you know how to read and implement an RFC, a bit time consuming but will pay you in long run.

Just my 2 cents.
 
I code my rocket science bots in php and they all work fine.

Java
Code: 
[FONT=monospace]
[/FONT]class HelloWorldApp {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!"); 
    }
}

Python
Code: 
print "Hello World!"
That's why I hate Java ;)

Amen I despise Java had to use it in my first year of my degree course. Utterly Useless language. If i need website bots i use ubot its all point and click.

yeh. i support python too. you can do a lot with python, you can even wire it up to talk to other lauguage or medium as well. useful language for further deveopment or improvement.
 
Choose C# tho if you need bots with GUI.

Here you go PHP soft with GUI
