    What programming languages do you know?

    I learnt BBC basic 1st at school on the Archimedes and then went to Amos and Blitz on the Amiga. This followed by Qbasic and VB on the PC with small amounts of Delphi thrown in for good measure!!

    We had a similar thread to this recently, but without a poll. Anyway...

    I selected AMOS and Amiga Basic but never really did that much with them, just playing around really, but it was fun. And I know some VBA which I sometimes use for automating tasks in Excel and when I used to develop multimedia presentations for mobile devices, but not much more beyond that.

    I also tried HiSoft Basic on the Amiga and a multimedia language called Helm.

    But none of the programming languages I know properly were listed.

    For online development I know XHTML, CSS, PHP and MySQL, as well as some JavaScript. And for multimedia and presentation development I know Flash Actionscript 2 (version 3 is out now but I've not learnt that yet), and Macromedia Director Lingo which I know quite extensively and use for Director presentations and multimedia work. I also know some MaxScript which is used to automate tasks in 3DSMAX.

    If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!

    Used to use Blitz Basic on the PC a lot. Currently use Java and C quite a bit and have used various assemblers (although not 68k Amiga stuff).

    I did 2 years of Turbo Pascal in school, and 1 year of Assembler, but that was on a 8080 processor, long time ago.

    At work I began with Cobol, but only because in my first two exams I had Cobol as subject. Nowadays, meaning the last 6-8 years I only do REXX at work, as that is the main language to program something working for the software on the mainframe. Also use JCL at work, but barely, and JCL isn't a "programming" language, it's more to control programs/procedures/jobs, thus Job Control Language.

    Still only a bit of BBC BASIC.

    I don't think I have actually gone any further through the BBC BASIC book since we last talked about this, but I have bought a book about using BBC BASIC to get readings from it's analogue port (for things like light and temperature sensors)

    If programming the microwave oven to heat up last evening's leftovers counts, then yeah, I know a programming language!

    Otherwise, my knowledge of programming is exactly zip, zero, zilch, nada. I was never interested in writing code, even though I was a total computer geek. Big respect to people who can, though. All that hocus pocus sounds mighty complicated to me.
