I am sure we have covered this before but I thought it was worth doing again now we have a shiney new forum dedicated to coding.
What is the programming language you use the most?
I mainly use Python at the moment, I have also dabbled with C/C++ and Java.

I'm a .net programmer so VB and C# - I also dabble in c++ as i plan to program Novel NLM's

Abit of delphi,
Mainly we oriented coding for me, perl, php, sql, xml, etc etc

I mostly use C++ right now, as it was the last language I was covering at tech.
I also use VB.net and HTML
In the works of learning PHP and Java

I am about half way through first year c++ at tech (yay summerschool)
I know a little bit of delphi as well, but have forgotten most of it :D

At this stage I only know a wee bit of php/sql, enough to get by. I'll learn some real programming languages at tech next year, I forget which. I've tried delphi before, made noughts and crosses then got sick of it.

Hehe, I did that series too. Unfortunately I "improved" it too much, and could only draw.
Dabbled a bit in C and Java, am mainly teaching myself/viewing code from OSS programs that I use.
I did at one stage wish for a career in Software, but these days it seems like programmers/code monkeys are a dime a dozen. And half of those who get into it are only going there for the money.
So I'm teaching myself with purely the mindset of putting it to use in OSS.

Where do I start! :D
C/C++, VB, php, asp, java, javascript, html, sql, dabbling in asm
Shesh sounding like a resume, there are more but it's been a while. ;)
And half of those who get into it are only going there for the money. What money? Tell me if you find it. Your better off building at the moment. I'd adjust that to half are useless (you would not beleive some of the code I have to work with).

For web design: html, javascript, php + mysql
For RAD/Heavily OOP: C#, sometimes VB (but I dont like it at all)
Currently moving nicely through C++, by dabbling with OpenGL.

*deep breath*
started with AppleBASIC, yay. moved onto Turbo Pascal then Borland Pascal and then x86 assembler. dabbled with VB for a while, novel little language that. reluctantly learned C++, then went into studies where i learned COBOL, yay. then i got my hands on Delphi 1, loved it, and it's still my language of choice. picked up HTML and javascript and soon after i started playing around with Perl for use in CGI scripts... then i discovered the wonders of PHP. i also picked up SQL somewhere in amongst all that. recently i've been playing around with python.
currently Delphi and PHP/XHTML are my main languages.

On a "professional" level (that's what they call the stuff I do at work, poor misguided fools :p )
Delphi, VB, VBA, SQL ....
on a play level ...........
PHP, Java, Java Script ................
and then a whole bunch of stuff they rammed down my throat at Uni (forgotten most of it now)

Learning more every day, and loving it :)
Starting Delphi next year.

C# and VB.NET (as little vb as possible) for work at the moment...
Delphi.NET looks interesting but I think most people will stick to C# for MS based development.

Turbo Pascall 5.5 and Jade 5.x are what I know I can kind of code in, did exams for them.
Can do a wee bit of X/HTML, PHP, basic when needed to.
At the moment I am using C with OpenGL/SDL. I've also used PHP recently.

perl and java.
java specifics: JSP, J2EE, I'm also a certified Java Programmer which is a highly academic exam and has little practical value but hopefully lots of street cred.
dabbled a little with XSLT, thats a crazy paradigm shift.
learnt delphi at tech but didn't like it much (I Hate making GUIs). I too was under the impression code monkeys got paid more. Too bad the dot com bubble burst now my friend gets paid more than me in a supermarket and he gets to stare at checkout chicks rather than dual 19s.
would like to get back into J2EE but my work doesn't like Java as its traditionally been a pig under linux because of threads hopefully 2.6.x will change it all.
I can remember it like it was yesterday, she was an archimedes and her language was basic......
Enough of the yesteryear stuff, i now code in Visual Fox Pro, VB, SQL (mainly MySQL), ASP (If i have to), PHP (when noone else can), and the occasional HTML, & XML.

Im a java puppet, but there is sql/perl/C/C++ in there too

Him, tried to remember them all :p
Probably the first language I did would be Basic or HTML then I got into Delphi and VB for a while, after that I went to Web Development (Which I like much better then normal Application Development) using Perl first (And SQL at the same time), then PHP.
Haven't done much C/++ yet, I'm learning a bit of that now, for programming embedded platforms (Microcontroller’s etc). I find it simpler to PHP in some ways though - which makes it easy to pickup :)
I prefer to use PHP with a SQL backend though, flat file databases are, well, slow even when using something like the Berkeley db libraries.
Yeah, I enjoy programming, so I guess that’s why I've learned so many languages :)

Pretty much used or dabbled in most of the languages already listed above particularly anything web orientated the last few years, plus going on near 15 years of Mainframe Assembler coding along with other more mainframe centric languages like Cobol/Rexx/ISPF etc etc

Just recently a lot of applescript with new OS X dev tools. Very nice. I'm going to check out objective-C early next year.
At home its delphi, java and a few bits and pieces with vbscript and wsh

And i beat you helped develop ForTran too you old Buggar!!

Cobol and Rexx.. aha.. must be good old IBM.. I still have all my 370 assembler docs floating around somewhere.
Spent the last 20 years mainly working with C/C++ but have messed around with pretty much anything thats actually worth while.

I still have all my 370 assembler docs floating around somewhere.Yup :) The good ole days. Still one of my favourite languages theres almost nothing you can't do with it (within the boundaries of the machines capabilities of course)

assembly scares the crap out of me.
Its like soooo dull, how can you stand it - well I spose you dont anymore.
PHP is WIN (PHP fanboy sorry)
Gremlin
18-12-2003, 08:07 PM
Actually I do still code in 370 HLA on a regular basis call me a geek but I prefer it still over any high GL Language, but then I taught myself ASM when I was a youngin too so its pretty much the first language I knew.

HTML and a tiny bit pf JAVA, sadly its all i know (for now)
I know HTML, but dont use it,
I'm good with C, and know C++.

I first used good ol' GW-Basic but now I wouldn't know where to start (other than line 10).
I mostly do C. Know a bit of Java and will learn more next year. Also had to do some assembly for the degree but I didn't really have much of a clue what was going on (I can read it alright.. just not write it).
Grrr!!

Is there actually still much left of cobol in NZ? ... I thought it would've died out by now?

never underestimate the amount of time and money large institutions are willing to pour down the drain to support tired archaic systems ;)

Yeah you'd be surprised, it would easily be in the millions of lines of code, the same can be said of Assembler I'd be confident in saying theres still easily more than one million lines out there still in use daily.
