How many people here Know a computer language?

[Steradian]

How many of you are familiar with a computer language i.e. unix, c, c++,pascal. I am curious to see what type of programers we have out there :)
I only Know c++ how about the rest of you?

ah... I used to do more "real" coding... but these days... not so much... just php I guess

In my Apple //gs days...

I learned Pascal and C but didn't do much actual fun stuff in it. I did buy ORCA/M and did some 65816 Assembly coding... which at the time was the best/only way to do fast animation and stuff on the //gs. Did some minor things.. I don't even think I distrbuted any of the cooler things.

On my Mac IIsi

I learned some 68000 assembly language, and wrote some stuff in C. The coolest thing I ended up doing were:

Chrystar Demo, Flag Day, and Chaosmint - which were small graphical demos - which spawned an After Dark 4.0 Screen Saver module (Points of View).

After college, I moved on to scripting languages and web development. So, learned some Perl which was ok - but I really liked PHP... and is what I've spent most of my time with these days. Not as glamorous as 68000 assembly/C... but more practical and easier to develop.

I know some Java, and I plan to take the Sun Certified Programmer for the Java 2 Platform test within a month or so. I also know a bit of Perl (which is a great language!) and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) which I use to create some Excel spreadsheets.

I hope to get more into web-based development, and I've been getting into JSP, Servlets, and PHP.

I'm definitely not a programmer by any means (I'm a commerical real estate finance analyst and consultant), but I am very interested in working in a tech firm someday. I think everyone can benefit from learning some programming just to understand how programs work.

[Choppaface]

a bit of C++, PHP, ActionScript, a little JavaScript, and a good amount of Scheme...also learning a bit of SQL (mysql's subset...:D)

[rainman::|:|]

F77 (my first mentor thought it was a good way to break into programming, she was right)... C++... not much else. A little javascript, that doesn't count tho... i'm hoping to teach myself java and visualbasic soon, need to get cracking on that...

[edesignuk]

Just a little JavaScript and ASP for me, and that's about my limit :( :p

[zimv20]

extensive: c, c++, sed/awk, Bourne shell

done lots of: java, fortran, pascal, assembly

others: lisp, prolog, others i'm forgetting...

[Durandal7]

I know Java, Javascript and HTML (who doesn't?) I know a bit of C and quite a bit of C64 Basic, but that never seems to come in handy.

[cr2sh]

fortran in the hiz-ouse!

[Wes]

My pathetic programming attempts:

I wrote a graphical calculator in Qbasic and if you can call it a language, I know html. Sad isn't it? Well I have recently bought a Java book so I won't be as inept soon. :D

[szark]

C
Pascal
Fortran
Java
Perl
HTML
JavaScript
Visual Basic
SQL
basic sh/csh scripting
Objective-C (learning)
PHP (learning)

Atari: GFA Basic, Basic XE, Basic XL, Atari Basic

...and I have learned and forgotten:
VBScript/ASP
68000 assembly
Z80 assembly
8088 assembly
6502 assembly

I think that's everything! :D

WOW! That's alot of stuff crammed into your head, I think mine would explode before I came near learning just a couple of them! :( :D :eek:

[szark]

I'll admit that C, HTML, and SQL are the only languages I could program in right now without any reference material.

For the others, I would have to spend a few minutes looking at some code to adjust my brain to the syntax of that language.

[wdlove]

I guess I'm the Lone Ranger in knowing none, nada. Closest would be that my wife took a Statistics course at Creighton University, Omaha, NE. It was in ~1980 prior to any programs, she had to write a program that would run a statistical problem. The language was basic. Part of her grade depended on her success!

[vniow]

I don't have the slightest clue what any of you are talking about.

[jefhatfield]

i worked with some version of pascal in 82 and in the 70s i learned to read the holes punched in some cardboard cards...all really useless ;)

and before that, i learned to do math in base 2, base 8, and other strange configurations

[bbarnhart]

I do computer programming for a living. It is Windows based and I mainly use C++. For me, other laguanges are an 'add-on' to a C++ application/module including Visual Basic, TCL, Java and HTML. At work, I also have used SQL.

I have also programmed in LISP, Apple Basic, 6502 asm, 68000 asm and AppleScript.

[Mr. Anderson]

C, C++ and I remember Pascal from college, although getting a program compiled right now might require a little study.

Currently working on learning Action Script.

And HTML is not code as far as I'm concerned.

[G4scott]

does BASIC on a ti calculator count? If so, I know that, some HTML, and that's it...

I do hope some day to learn C or C++, but I don't know too much about programming right now...

[scem0]

I have been taking c++ since school started. That's it, unless you
want to count my small knowledge of HTML as a computer language. ;)

[irmongoose]

hmmm... let's see...

APPLESCRIPT!

:D :D

[mac15]

Well I know a bit about alot of things, I can design fairly good, I know a tiny bit of HTML, I know a bit of PHP and MYSQL.

[drastik]

JAvaScript, Perl, PHP, cgi, and of course html (dhtml and css included)

Given a little time I might be able to resurect my C skills, but they were pretty limited anyway. Web Development skill seems to be the way to learn these days, as very little knowledge can expand quickly with the simple languages. I'd sure like to learn more, but the time isn't available.

[Gaz]

C++, C#, Java, Smalltalk

C, Pascal, Javascript, VB, PHP, Perl

Prolog (Evil language!!!)

All the usual HTML, XMLSchema, XLST - if you count them

SQL, SQLT

&&

Some assembly code


If you look at them most are derived from C at some point so makes learning them easy(ish) :)

Personally I don't think the languages are the hard parts....it's the frameworks as you have to really understand to get the most from them and that's something I'm really trying hard to learn now.

[MacBandit]

Does cursing and cussing count as a computer language? It is how many comunicate to there PCs daily.

I use to know a little Basic and C++ and also whatever version of Basic that the C64 used and a little HTML. I haven't used any of those in so many years though that I might have well never known any of it.

[idkew]

c, c++, java, scheme (a recursive AI language), html... not bad for a graphic designer.

[mc68k]

c
c++
java
TIBasic
BASIC
68000 Assembly
C-Shell
Haskell

want to learn objective-c for cocoa development

[bousozoku]

I've gotten paid to do C, C++, (Object) Pascal, RPG (several flavours), COBOL, and UNIX shell scripts.

I've also done programming in 6502, Z80/8080, and 68000 assembly as well as Objective-C, FORTRAN, PL/I, Java, Modula-2, Logo, PILOT, Action!, and BASIC and maybe some lesser known languages (although Action! should suffice as the least known).

I'm also working on an interpreter for Logo and PILOT to be connected to OpenGL for 3D Turtle Graphics. :)

[funkywhat2]

I'm learning the True BASIC. Best language ever.

I'll second that, for now. :)

[GeeYouEye]

A very little C++, a good amount of TIBasic, and Object Logo.
