Programers

[Omega]

I was wondering if anyone else does any programing out there if so speak up and tell us what language you use

I am currently learning java and am hoping to learn some C++

[n0strax]

I took c++ first semester this year, it's cool and easy, except we had to do boring things cause it was school

[apeter]

c++ is cool, but it gets really confusing when you start making your own header files.

[njtermite]

i program in vb,asp,php and i just got a book on c++

[Omega]

hey n0strax what school you go to or you still in high school?

[n0strax]

yeah, i'm a sophomore in highschool

[FreiDogMU]

C, C++, Java, ASM

[flak]

Well, if HTML is considered a programming language, then I know that. :D

I'm also hoping to learn Java in a class next year.

[bm98master]

i don't know if action script counts, but i still haven't learned all of it.

[CompDude]

HTML is code...not really a programming lang.

HTML
JavaScript
A lil VB
learnin PHP
some ActionScript...very little...lol
DHTML
CSS

Im a C/C++ programmer myself.

I have a couple of projects out there: UMP, MultiSearch and WinsockLib. You can get them at http://www.laconiabumsinc.com/downloads/index.php

Only UMP is open source, sorry.

Personally, I find learning the various API's to be difficult, rather than the actual programming language.

[size=24] Visual Basic Rules ALL!!!!!!!

[apeter]

you know, it's real surprising how good visual basic has gotten. If anyone is just starting now they should learn that. (I don't know it, I just know that I should know it.)

[Need_Geeky_Girl]

Yea for you newbie programmers out there VB is great for the. The easy user interface it great.

[Master Bob]

HTML, code but doesn't matter.
And Python, learning.

[dhuss]

I know this topic is kinda old but I figured i'd chime in with some of my skills... lol :D

Programming Languages:
Java & Javascript
Perl
C & C++
Lisp & Scheme (But it has been a long time...)

Not Quite Programming Languages:
HTML
MPI (Message Passing Interface, used for cluster programming)
SQL (Standard Query Language)

Lanugages I would like to/probably should learn:
VB
PHP & ASP

p.s. Any one look at these boards that has done something big? or any one out there write something they are extremely proud of?

C++ and Java are closely related, I've had classes in those. I tinker in Fortran too, its just a very basic "intro" language, not usefull for much really. I wouldn't wanna do any of it for a living though, but I could handle VB.

If you are good with C++ dhuss, then VB would be a joke. I'd suggest learning it for fun. If you already udnerstand pseudocode and object oriented programming then you could have fun with this. Just a few minor changes in syntax and how classes work and BAM, you know a GUI version of C++ (VB). But the other way around....making a GUI in C++....is hard stuff. You could me making joke programs in minutes. :ph34r:

I'd like to learn SQL and Perl but I dunno what they are about.

Thanks for the advice, yeah i'd learn VB for fun and pretty sure i could pick it up quick... I did with Java...

SQL is a language for asking questions and getting information out of a database, that's where the "Query" comes from. It's very good to know SQL if you plan on doing anything with databases. Perl i've used mainly in scripts for webpages but you can compile and run it just like any other general programming language.

I know html, and right now I'm trying to get linux and BASH down, but after that im going to try and lern Perl, or C/C++

[The Jackel]

I do HTML, VB, CGI, PHP, and tahts pretty much it....

I'm a fourth year university computing science major. I'm gonna graduate next August and the languages I've learned include:

Java
C / C++ / Visual C++ and MFC
Visual Basic
LISP
SQL
UML
HTML

Stuff I want to learn:
.NET
XML
Perl
C#

Having spent the last four years studying computing science I can tell you that it doesn't matter what languages you know because it doesn't mean much in the workforce (unless you plan on being a 'code-monkey' all your life). Anyone can learn a programming language.

It's about knowing which technology is the best to achieve particular business goals. That's why there are tons of programmers trying to find a job. The IT industry is looking for people who understand technology and know how to use it to achieve business goals effectively and efficiently. Companies aren't interested in people with just technical skills anymore.

If you want to learn useful programming languages, you should pay attention to industry trends. A few good ones to keep your eyes on are Microsoft's .NET framework (this is going to become bigger than most people give it credit for right now), Sun's JavaOne, and Object Oriented Databases like Jasmine (may one day replace relational DBs).

ohh bringing out the big guns huh... i didn't even think about UML, probably cuz you can't really do anything with it besides make complicated pictures, oh yeah and plan out projects...
