Computer Programming Languages Thread

[ManagerSelfridge]

If anyone has experience with programming, be it C, Python, Java, or what have you, feel free to share your knowledge and experience here.
This also includes scripting languages, some of which are inside programs of themselves (ie Ruby for Trimble Sketchup, or Python for Blender)


I'll start.

I'm a Python programmer. I like to write code for small programs, like calculating how much gas money I need for various prices on gas; small knowlege tests, small graphing applications.

Does anyone else know Python?

I am a lot more into VB.NET & MS SQL

[ManagerSelfridge]

I've learned VB.net, but not SQL.

Do you use SQL for this site?

[flighter]

Well, almost every site we see today is based on some sort of SQL. This one uses MySQL.

[ManagerSelfridge]

Ok, I've heard of mySQL, it's used for servers, hence why many sites had some sort of SQL backbone.

How'd you learn mySQL?

[flighter]

MySQL... well... if you want to go into web programming, Basically, you could get WAMP (Stands for WIndows-Apache-MySQL-PHP) if you are using windows, or LAMP if you are on some flavour of LINUX... and that should be sufficient to create the working envronment.

Second step would be some good e-books, and finally just one more thing... a lot of spare time to spend on that
