What is your favorite programming language?

[nathan_s]

I'll give my vote to C anc C++, you can't skip a language like that if you go into programming. However it still depends on what you need to do - some languages can be more useful in one cases then others.

Well, as I thought, PHP is still in the lead for this poll. I am glad that I chose the language of choice

[jamesparker]

PHP is my favorite programming language because it is easy and simple.

[DigitalAlien]

Do you use PHP for designing all of your websites?

[FreeTheNoob]

My Favorite Programming Language would have to be PHP because of the simplicity of it.

[Brandon Sheley]

I wish we could of picked a few
I like php, but I'm trying to learn more asp.net

[DigitalAlien]

I thought about letting everyone pick several but was more interested in seeing what everyone would choose if they were only given one option

[Izzmo]

C#.NET is my favorite. I work in PHP everyday, but the .NET framework has sooo much more to offer.

[DH - Tristan Perry]

PHP for web development, Java for software development/programming etc

Out of the two, I prefer PHP. But that's mainly since I'm still quite new to programming and all.

No, that's not right!

You can use Java in the web environment as well with Java's SDK's and Microsoft with the .NET framework.

I think that he was saying he prefers PHP for web dev and Java for software dev. I don't think he meant you can't use it for web dev

I like PHP, because you can find great support for almost everything you can think of.

[DigitalAlien]

Do you chat on the PHP forums to get support?

[RDragos]

No, i use the php online manual, it has a lot of examples and explications. And if, by any chance, i can't find my answer there, i search on forums. But usually everything is working out very simple.

What kind of work have you been doing with PHP? Do you develop your own scripts or work on other peoples?

It depends on what I need. At first I look for a script that does what I need, and try to adapt it for my needs. If it's too much work, I prefer developing them from scrap. Of course, I'm talking about little scripts, not huge ones like CMS's or stuff like that

I normally do the same as well. I find something that is very similar to what I want and then modify it for my needs.

[RDragos]

It's the best thing to do. Why should i start something from 0, if it's already been done? And probably (90%) it is better optimized than the one I could make from scrap.

[lordspace]

I voted for php too.
I don't think Ajax as a language.

[thefallsman]

PHP is definitely my favorite because it's very easy to understand and you can do a lot of different things with it
