What programming languages do you know?

What do I KNOW? How about we change that to what do I currently use:
RPGLE
CLLE
SQL
All above running on i/OS (used to be called OS/400).
But at times I have also worked in:
COBOL
JCL
PHP
Assembler (360/370)
Basic
I even did programming back in the dark ages using dBase II scripting. (now that really does seem old, until one remembers how long ago it was that Adm Grace Hopper invented COBOL).
 
c - good knowledge
c++ - getting there
java - efficient knowledge
vb - good knowledge
php - extensive knowledge

getting there, few more years !
 
I started with mainframes (mostly forgotten this stuff now)...
Easytrieve Plus
IBM COBOL
IBM JCL JES2
Mantis 5.4
MVS
PL/1
SELCOPY
TSO
VSAM

Before moving into Microsoft based development
IMA EDGE
Visual Basic 6
Delphi 7
Installscript
T-SQL
PLSQL

And dabbling in web and scripting technologies
ASP
CSS
HTML
Javascript
VBScript
A little Perl

Currently trying to improve my .NET knowledge
VB.NET
C#
Blend (XAML)

Still trying to find the time (and energy) to learn some Android development with the SDK..:rolleyes:
 
I envy all of you, unfortunately back in my school days I rebelled a tad and as such made a rare mature decision that further education would be wasted on me. Having grown up quite quickly, now married and with two children I don't have the time to learn or do a course. Looking back I wish I had stuck it out doing my I.T. A-Level to get me into Computer Science at University. Thing was though having self taught myself everything on the course I found it boring and didn't bother with it after the first year I dropped it from my timetable. Its the one singular regret I have of my 25 year existence.
 
Actual "Programming" Languages: C#, C++, VB.NET, VB 6
Server-side Scripting Languages: PHP, ASP
Client-side Scripting Languages: JavaScript, VBScript
Markups & Others: HTML, XHTML, CSS1-3, XML, XSLT, "AJAX" (mixing PHP, JavaScript, XML and the DOM)
Oh, and databases: mySQL, MS SQL, Oracle, postgreSQL
...and so much more I definitely don't have the time to write about it haha.
I'm a web developer by trade, but uber-programming geek at heart. :)
 
Actual Programming languages:
C, C++, VB.Net, VB 6, Java, ASM (Assembly)
Aditional Libraries and SDKs: OpenGL, OpenGL ES, Android SDK, wxWidgets, and some DirectX
Server-Side Scripting: PHP, ASP (Not fluent in either but can do basic tasks)
Client Side Scripting: Javascript (Again, not fluent, but can do basic tasks)
Mark-up languages: Basically just HTML and CSS.


I am working on learning the ins and outs of the C4 Game Engine right now, so we shall see how that turns out.

I am a Software Developer, so my house is full of books and resources on various languages. Some of which I haven't even opened yet or learned.

my company has a software package that was written in COBOL, about 30 years ago. today, a single customer, out of a pool of about 900 or so, can call up and make a request for the software to do something a specific way.....we can usually rollout an update, to everyone, within about a week.

It's great seeing other Vandy Alums here! I was a compE major. Too many languages to shake a stick at at this point. Is your company in Nashville?
 
If you are a software engineer must have knowledge of programming. FPGA and the House are good examples. Engineering is a hybrid software and hardware, and not just focus entirely on the hardware. If you want to focus on the hardware without programming, then the way to go electric. I do not think computer science is only material. Of course, everything depends on the type of job you get, but employers expect you to know programming well.
 
Languages: Assembly, C, C++, C#, Java, Verilog and Matlab (not really languages)
Scripting: Javascript, Flash, Actionscript
Technologies: .NET, XAML

BTW, not all computer engineers have the same type of education. It really depends on where their department is located, i.e. are they part of the electrical engineering department (ECE) or are they part of the computer science department (CSE).
 
PHP and Python is what I exclusively use with MySQL as backend in most cases.
 
C/C++
Java (very small amount, I didn't like it so never furthered it)

basically all I really use at my Co-op is C and C++. I'm still in school so I'm going to look into a C# class, seems like it's similar to Java though
 
Java, C, C++ and VHDL/Matlab if we're counting those. Problem is I've used them all as part of my university course and we never tend to use one particular language for more than a semester before we move onto something else so I wouldn't say I'm particularly well skilled in most, except maybe C and VHDL.

Oh the countless hours I've spent debugging my code for various assignments the night before they're due.
 
I have an associates in programming (haven't used it in the 10 years I've had it though).

All they taught me was Visual Basic, C++, SQL and RPG. They really focused on RPG which is one of the reasons I hated it so much.
 
bash and shell is all i know, id like to learn batch, but after something as simple as a shell script, those batch files are compilcated and bulky as hell.
 
Just started college doing computer sci taking my first class of java so that will be my first.
 
This list is about to show my age:

1. Basic
2. Fortran
3. Pascal
4. Cobol
5. PL/1
6. Macro-32 assembly language
7. ADA

Thankfully I don't do programming anymore. Now I rely on my Cisco certs to help keep me busy...
 
Yes there are companies out there that still use these languages.
I should know, I work for one.

Basic
Cobol
RPG
CL
PL/N
HTML
 
I know nothing of programming.. lol.

So, what are some good ways to start learning? Besides taking classes...

Don't be ashamed thefamilyguy1!

We all have to learn to crawl... before we learn to walk... before we learn to run!

I would recommend going to learn JavaScript first...from w3schools:

JavaScript Tutorial

You don't need any previous experience in programming! Other than some HTML... No book required. I think javascript is a better way to learn than Java strait off the bat... It is more "scaled down" than java... like just functions classes and objects and blah blah blah....

And if you want a book then i would recommend a nice book i got while i have been in my 1st year in University... it was not to do with my course in IT for the next 3 years but is something extra.... it is good for first timers:

Wiley::Java For Dummies, 4th Edition

It is interesting because it explained a few things about the history of programming... like FORTRAN.... i never heard of FORTRAN till i read it :)
The book spices everything up in a really nice way IMO...

But they assume you have basic computer skills etc... :)

Hope this helps!

Stinky Stinky :D
