Any programmers?

[Piegod]

Hello everyone!

I was just wondering if anyone here knows how to code. If so, what language(s) do you know?

I've started programming about 2 years ago and I've learned C/C++, Java, PHP, Javascript, and some Ruby. I have also started to work on several web based projects, like my CMS I'm doing for fun.

If interested, here's a look at what I've done so far on my CMS.

I have a VERY VERY VERY basic knowledge of java, but i consider myself useless at it......

 

[Fizax]

Been an active coder for several years now, languages I'm proficient in: C++, PHP, Javascript, Perl, Lua, and Python

For me:
Basic and Advanced HTML, XHTML, very little Java (still learning), and about to get into HTML5.
Resources: W3Schools Online Web Tutorials


Question, what resources do you guys use to study? (Would be helpful to know)

 

[Ph?bus]

I know BBC code.
I really wish I knew some languages, though.

C# here

For resources, it usually depends on what language I am doing. If I am doing some PHP, I generally frequent php.net as a reference. For jquery, I would use their site's(www.jquery.com) documentation considering it is pretty good. As for C/C++, Java or any other languages that focus more on desktop applications, I rely on the books that I have purchase to answer any of the questions that I have. The best way to learn, is to start a project, obviously starting small, then gradually increase in the difficulty of the projects.

I don't remember the last time I bought a software book. i don't even remember the last time I actually opened one. Now if I want to look something up, i just google it.

Languages? I've got a BS in computer science and a MS in software engineering with 15 years of programming. After awhile, I realized that languages are all basically the same.

C/C++ and assembly (I dont wish that pain on anyone...). My knowledge is in the intermediate range for both. Hope to someday move to Java and C#

I've done a bit of C#, mostly with XNA. Only problem I found with it, other than a few minor problems, is that it is for Windows only.

Yeh, I find that too, most languages are the same, but the only reason is because they all derive from C. Some languages like Ruby look little like C.

that's because the "creators" got smart and realized that people don't want to learn something 100% from scratch. So they made syntax VERY similar.

but really, it goes beyond that. After awhile, you stop thinking about syntax and start realizing that to create programs, you need to understand "logic".

A for loop is a for loop, be it written in C, Perl, Java, or Shell. The thing is knowing WHAT you want the program do to. It's easy to google it and figure out the syntax.
