Programmers?
Just curious. Seems like there are a lot of fellow code monkeys around here. Anyway, what languages do you/have you coded in? (Not just learned, but actually done real productive work in.)
I'll start: Had an internship where I did some VB, spent two years doing some COBOL, now work in a semi-obscure language called Aion. |
Basic (yes, I actually had a paying job doing basic!), Pascal, RPGIII, x86 assembler, m88k assembler, COBOL, C/C++, perl, PHP, Java/javascript, unix shell scripting
|
Started in 1980 on a TRS-80 via private lessons. Wrote a patient billing system for my mom that ran on a 8088 in turbo pascal, worked until she closed her office doors 3 years ago. Had some COBOL, Fortran, and more Pascal in high school. Wrote a program in basic that was for D&D character generation, sent it to be published in Dragon Magazine (they never published it). Got out of computers until '94, started getting paid to use them in '98, did some utility programming in Visual Basic, fixing perl scripts, some cgi stuff in VB, now I'm doing some stuff in php - generic form processing to either email or sql db, the online calendar for the college I work at (http://apps2.sfcc.edu/calendar), my 356talk archive (see sig), etc.
|
Profesionally, I just worked with C (without ++), ASM and VB. (SQL and ASP as well but it's more a script than proper language).
I studied and did some programming in Pascal, Java and Erlang as well. |
Did mine years ago. FORTRAN for CFD work and detonation experiments. A little RT-11 driver code.
|
Yeah, I've done SQL with Access, SQL Server, Allbase, and DB2. Come to think of it, I've never really done any programming that didn't involve some sort of database access. It's always seemed like a neccesary evil to me.
|
Earned a living using C/C++ more than 7 years ago. Since then it's been 100% Java. Written sample/test code in assembler, Pascal, Fortran, and Lisp.
|
C/C++/C#, Perl, Python, Curl, Java (swing, beans, JDBC), VBScript/ASP, ASP.NET, PHP, CF, motorola 68-xx series assembly, XML, SQL.
|
Worked as webmaster for a network of (6) radio stations using ColdFusion, MSSQL Server for 4 years. Developed some standalone specialty java apps for them.
Currently work as Java/JSP developer for O'Reilly Author, Marc Loy. 100% Java for me now :) Java guys, have you tried Eclipse? I'm really liking its CVS and ant features, but I just wish there was a *good* plugin for JSP. MyEclipse plugin doesn't seem to support the newest JSTL libs :( |
I've been using Eclipse for java stuff, but I'm still on the steep side of the learning curve, but then again I'm on the steep side of the curve of Java as well.
|
Cobol (Batch and CICS), JCL, Basic, FoxPro...from there went into networking...then management. Can you say Hollerith card?
|
Various remotes (mostly sony and pioneer), VCR's (both Beta and VHS), did some garage door openers a few years back too, but I'm sure I'm out of practice on those now. Currently considering several 12 step programs:)
|
C/C++, some VB and right now doing an internship developing with VB.net.
|
All you yung'uns, you don't know how ad it was... I freekin' had to code ASSEMBLER(! :eek: )
How you like to stare at a green screen looking at THIS all day: gcd: mov ebx,eax mov eax,edx test ebx,ebx jne L1 test edx,edx jne L1 mov eax,1 ret L1: test eax,eax jne L2 mov eax,ebx ret L2: test ebx,ebx je L5 L3; cmp ebx,eax je L5 jae L4 sub eax,ebx jmp L3 L4: sub ebx,eax jmp L3 L5: ret ...and COBOL, FORTRAN, IDEAL, JCL, SQL, Basic, Visual Basic, C, C++, Java, Perl, you name it... Not for about 8 years now though thankfully.... |
How is VB.net? I haven't done anything in VB since 6.0.
|
cstreit - reminds me of peeks and pokes :)
Anyone want a real blast from the past? I'm looking at a Z80 assembly manual, by TRS-DOS floppies and manual, and a C64 CP/M module with manual. Wonder if this stuff is worth anything? |

Hey, there was nothing like getting that call at 2am from the Data Center......"Hi Rick, job 123 went down...want a core dump when you get here?" Ahhh, off the source code library.......

started on card deck programming
and then I got http://www.hampage.hu/pdp-11/ thought I had died and gone to heaven Any other SYSMGRs out there use SYSKRAP as your password? am trying now to rescue a micro PDP-11 for some archival work |
VB
Pascal Cobol C, C++ HTML JS PHP Java J2EE XML SOAP and starting to read a book on ASP |
