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   

My next task is to tackle c++ always wanted to learn the mother of all languages.

I don't think you can ever learn a language completly, you can come really close though  ;)

Re: Curiosity - How many people know how to program

well yeah, excuse my non precise choice of words   - i meant that  in c++ for instance, i'm not advanced, since i never took a real course i learned by experimenting.

Re: Curiosity - How many people know how to program

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: )

Re: Curiosity - How many people know how to program

well batch programming

let us say everyone knows one or 2 commands(a netstat or a net send  ) 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

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.

Re: Curiosity - How many people know how to program

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
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.

Re: Curiosity - How many people 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.

Re: Curiosity - How many people know how to program

Well, after 5 years knoledge in programming....

finally i see, that knowing any language ain't important these days....
why?
simply cause all are the same, thanks for the OOP concept (object oriented language concept)....

my advice to you all, to learn UML, Unified Modeling Language....
it's really important for each developer to know these teachniques,
thanks to uml, you can analyse any software, and then you can create classes.. these classes can be developed in any language oop like java/c++ and vb.net or php5... and cobol object....

if you like to know more about uml, soon there will be courses online at the Lebanese Developers Community.....

check the community site for more informations on the objectives...

A ne pas confondre cmd et DOS: DOS is an operating system tandis que cmd n'est autre que "L'Interpreteur Shell".

Re: Curiosity - How many people know how to program

uml sounds a lot like psuedo-code which basically means writing the solution to a problem in simple english, or in basic concept not conforming to one language.

Re: Curiosity - How many people know how to program

Mahdoum, that ain't true....

the fact UML, is really important to any system analyser, the fact, it helps a lot to know from the beginings the errors you will face , in fact that after you develop the solution, you won't have a lot of errors to fix, thanks for the good analysing modeling you made....

i know it ain't easy, it took me a full year to learn it,
after that, trust me, it help you a lot in realizing a solution...

better than the frensh old method called merise,   , that's true succss ;)

Re: Curiosity - How many people know how to program

I'm looking into uml now, but i've been taught when trying to solve a problem you do lots of stuff like system flowcharts, designs, pseudo code etc etc
