Programmer Thread

Postby TheLQ » Thu Feb 04, 2010 8:52 pm

Due to the lack of discussion in this forum...

I'm curious to how many programmers we have here on Lyokofreak. I've heard people talk about PHP, C, ruby, but I don't know if those people have actually used those languages or how many.

READ BEFORE POLLING: HTML is NOT a programming language, its a MARKUP languages. Consult the following list for more description

Markup Languages - "Programs" that do not make decisions. They simply format the text to a different way. Keywords: Tags, markup, *ML
Examples:
-BBcode
-HTML
-CSS
-JSON
-XML

Programming Languages - Programs that make decisions. If this, do this; else do this. Keywords: If...else, looping, conditional statements, etc
Examples
-PHP
-Java
-C++
-Ruby
-Python
-Javascript
-Perl
-Actionscript
-And many many more

NOTE: If your language is not listed, tell me and I will add it.

Personally I like PHP. Simple, easy to learn, gets the job done. For desktop apps I like Java but am trying to learn Python. I'm not too familiar with any other desktop languages since I was a web programmer for a long time. In webland I can write HTML, CSS, JS, PHP, and ASP (unfortunately)

I can write a fair bit of HTML and a little bit of Javascript. Later, when I begin serious work as a developer, I'm going to focus primarily on Objective C for OS X and Java for cross-platform compatibility.

Right now, I'm also doing quite a bit of work in the FireRed scripting language and I'm learning ASM for the THUMB7.
I really gotta fix up this theme

I like php, but I am a noob at it. Still learning exactly how everything works together.

Unfortunately, all I really know is PHP. I've picked up BASIC too. I want to learn Python and maybe even Haskell, but I've never had the motivation to do so.
thank you all for the good memories <3

Java only right now, but I'm planning to eventually learn C and C++, possibly Python.

C in any of its forms is not very cross compatible. You have to be managing a different program for Windows and how ever many distro's of linux you want to support. That would get really complex for support.

Java is very powerful and very cross compatible, but the JVM is a little slow, especially on older computers. Its also a horribly complex language.

For everyone else, Python seems highly recommended. If you know Java, just remove the parenthesis and thats the syntax, unlike Ruby which is... *cringes

Why is php so popular?

The fact that it's easy to learn probably makes it a good choice among newbies. Most other programming languages are harder to pick up, despite being more powerful once learnt to be used correctly.

I didn't mean that I was using C for cross compatibile; I was using it primarily for OS X. I ws going to use Java for cross compatibility.

I've got some very basic skills in Perl.
I wish I had picked up a C language or PHP...
some time in the future, when I win the lotto and have oodles of time, I will teach myself those languages...or what ever happens to be most useful at the time
