Your Experiences In Programming

ForumDeluxe · 08-25-2009, 12:10 PM

What are you the most experienced in?

In terms of time spent, Visual Basic actually. But that's not web development

PHP, but it's always coupled with MySQL, HTML, and CSS.

I don't see Perl listed, or others, but if you're using Perl... stop lol.

mmm I would edit these options if you want people to vote on them...

-there is no .net, java, perl, ruby, and these are very popular web technologies.
-MySQL is not a programming language but a database engine (amongst many others), which uses the SQL programming language.
-Same for Flash, why is Flash an option and Actionscript another when Flash is not even a programming language?
-HTML and CSS are usually combined together so if you spend your time in one, chances are you also spend your time with the other.

Try re writing the question with these options:

HTML/CSS
Actionscript (Flash, Flex, etc)
Javascript
PHP
.net
Java
Perl
Ruby
SQL (MySQL, MS SQL, PG SQL, Oracle, etc)
Others

Question to AdscendJeremy: Why would you recommend to stop using perl?

Oh, just a personal hatred for it

That was many years ago that I worked with it, so maybe now with a lot more programming experience under my belt it wouldn't bother me so much, but it seems like PHP is a no-brainer for it's simpler syntax and (usually) excellent php.net documentation.

You should check this "PHP in contrast to Perl" article

That is why you should never use raw PHP as a programming language, it absolutely sucks, it feels like you are using a bunch of different user contributions, and picking functions from different sources and created by different people.

There are many frameworks to make PHP programming a more consistent experience and I'd suggest anyone who is using raw php to try something like Symfony or CodeIgniter

Programming always make me headache. I'm very weak in programming and therefore i know only the most easiest program which is html.

Once I had a friend like you. He took a peek over my shoulder to a LOGO code (which I was writing to process MRI pictures) and his head exploded.

'C'

But now I don't remember it. It's a part of my history.

I love Java, but it's not in the list

ZunuZunu · 09-04-2009, 11:24 PM

Java is fun to code, I like it too

PHP and SQL are somewhat coupled, in my opinion...
I use PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, jQuery (javascript framework), MooTools (another javascript framework. jQuery is better though), (X,D)HTML, CSS, and even some C++
PHP / MySQL are the tops though

But I love jQuery.

Edit: Oh, how could I forget: I also know Action Script and ASP
