  • Curiosity - How many people know how to program

How many of you know how to program?
What programming language do you use?
and how many years have you programmed?

Personally, I started of "programming" by actually scripting for mIRC 5 years ago, and then about 3 years ago I started learning php and then did a 2 year course in school on pascal (yes, yes i know its a dead language) and now i'm back to php :P

My next task is to tackle c++ always wanted to learn the mother of all languages.
well
i took a couple of computer science courses in my university
i know java, c++ and vb
been programming for 4 years
perfect: html (bleh) + CSS
good: vb, php
basic: c++ and asp

haven't had the time to learn most of these languages complety.
I don't think you can ever learn a language completly, you can come really close though ;)
well yeah, excuse my non precise choice of words :P - i meant that in c++ for instance, i'm not advanced, since i never took a real course i learned by experimenting.
i'm taking a c++ course now

PHP during my free time. I wished to move on to C++ or Java, but I kind of got stuck in PHP because it's so easy and so flexible.

5 years since I started.

I'm also good at:
VB
VBScript
Javascript
HTML and CSS (not worth mentioning imo)

Now learning COBOL (update: I failed the course :lol: )
Well i used to be into some MIRC programming a little bit...
And i know basics of C++
5 months later
well batch programming

let us say everyone knows one or 2 commands(a netstat or a net send :P ) can put them in a .bat and double click or run from the comand prompt

and just did ur first program.. .. even it may not be the hello world program lool or if u insist u can do the net send 127.0.0.1 hello world :P

u don't have to feel small when they ask you if u can program.. lool u can
"An error occurred while sending a message to 127.0.0.1

The message alias could not be found on the network."

While attempting your little batch I got the above message. :twisted:

More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2273.
yeah wierd same for me 127.0.0.1 and localhost do not work. firewall is disabled and messenger service is up, so i really dont know what is wrong.
but:
net send name_of_my_pc hello
did work (replace name_of_my_pc by the actual name of your pc)
yup yup yup ;) you do know microsoft is getting rid of their cmd/dos setup and going with something new.
something new? what is that?
interesting, let's hope it'll be a good one.
Unfortunately lots of ppl that know the languages and know how to put a few syntaxes to create smth that looks like a running program are programmers :P
Programming has ntn to do with the language, it's the logic you aquire, the language is secondarym it can be aquired in a couple of hours to a day max, once you know how to program.
true true, I love the logic behind programming, some people just don't get the different types of loops. It makes me laugh sometimes lol.
