Hey TIF, I was just wondering how many of you have experience in computer programming. I dont mean coding masters, just anybody whos sat down by themselves and made a functional program start to finish. Since the majority of high schools offer introductory courses to grade 10 students, i suspect that atleast some of you have worked with turing/ python/ visual basic. I am by no means an experienced programmer, i have only taken the course mentioned above (finished with an 89 average \ ).

 

 

 

For those are not familiar with computer program, it is basically giving your computer instructions.

 

ex:

 

-you could write games (runescape is writen in java)

 

-you could make word programs

 

-you could write instructions for a robotic arm

 

 

 

Thanks for reading,

 

Terra Aer

 

 

 

ps: i could not find any other topics like this so forgive me if there is

I have made a few apps here and there with c/c++.

I can code decently in VB.Net, I ok at C++ (currently learning), but only with the standard libraries. I can code in one or 2 other languages but I'm trying to stick with those 2.

 

I've been meaning to look at Python, but I always seem to forget.

 

 

 

Program wise, I've made a few basic games as well as some nice little apps.

Ive heard that python, like turing, is more of a "learning language", but i have never tried it, so let me know. :)

I'm currently a programming student in college. I know C++ and am learning VB.net. I will learn more languages in the year and a half to come, like php, java, we will even program some programs on linux. This is just to name a few.

Meh, I know PHP to the point that I can describe in detail how a program written in it would work, but when I go to write it nothing parses or works like I want it to. -.-

Most of us are pretty familiar with what a computer program is. :P

Just started learning JAVA. I knew more then my visual basic instructor did so I got into JAVA thankfully.

 

 

 

First Java Program I made:

 

 

 

public class HelloWorld

{  

       public static void main(String args[])

       {

          System.out.println("Hello World!");

       }

}

 

I am good :ugeek:

I'm fairly proficient in VB.NET (If I can't code it myself, I can do it with google :P ), and I know some about c++. Fairly good with most web languages like ASP, Javascript, HTML, CSS. Tried a little Java, did some perl a few years ago. Nothing too low level.

Ah, now I see why some people say Java looks a bit like C++. Still a lot of difference though.

Yep :P

 

 

 

I love Visual Studio, covers a ton of languages under a single standard interface, regardless of if I'm designing web pages or applications. Plus Windows is still over 90% market share (basically every non-tech person I know), and will probably gain more with windows 7 (the beta looks really nice).

Sad.... real programmers don't mess with Microsoft [cabbage].

Your choice, I like the well integrated, cohesive programing environment with a huge wealth of knowledge and community support on the web, plus practically guaranteed compatibility with any modern computer with the .NET framework.

And we all know that the .NET framework is so cross-platform. :roll:

Exactly.

When 89% of the world, and 98% of my client run XP\Vista, I'm not worried. Most people I know would sit down in front of linux\mac and ask 'Where's the start button?'. I have nothing against either OS, but MS is currently dominant, with no evidence of a fall in the near future.

That would be you correct? *compfreak847 hugs Microsoft and pats them on the back.

Well, even if I like Notepad++ pretty much, I don't care about using Visual Studio, anyway the college forces me to use it, so why not use it?

I'm currently taking an AP Computer Science class at my high school and learning Java :lol: I'm one of two people in the class, and oddly enough, we're both girls. Not quite what you'd expect.

I program in the easiest and fastest environments for the vast majority of computers. I see no reason to change that.

Your in high school? Your female? I learn more every day :-#

Haha yep - female senior in high school :P

 

 

 

*points to "Gender: Female" on the left hand side, under my avatar* :P

I have had a little bit of experience in programming, I started with Sinclair Basic on the old ZX81 and have been coding ever since, lets list what I have coded in:

 

 

 

Sinclair Basic on ZX81, ZX Spectrum and QL.

 

Assembly on the ZX Spectrum

 

BBC Basic on the Acorn BBC Micro

 

Can Do on the Amiga

 

GL Basic

 

DOS batch programming

 

VB Dos

 

VB6

 

A bit of VB.NET

 

Game Maker scripting (Not drag and drop)

 

Javascript

 

PHP

 

MySQL

 

Oracle

 

Access

 

Fenix

 

Actionscript (Flash)

 

Oh and a little bit of basic on the Playstation 2, I just made a sort of flying lines screen saver.

 

 

 

And I'm also in the ranks of the female coders :)

I keep meaning to have a go at something but I've never gotten round to it. All I've done is a bit of VB at school (which was horrible) and the print command in python.

Student [Computer Scientist] here, second year of college. I know a fair bit of Java (worked with it for about a year), working on learning some Python and C/C++. Taken a little detour to learn about bash scripting, to simplify my life on Linux just a touch. Going to be taking an assembly course here in a few days, looking forward to that.
