I learnt to program at university in 1966, using Algol 60, and studying numerical methods as part of the same course, using had-cranked mechanical calculators (you get a real feel for the cost of long division that way!).  On the same computer I then also used Fortran and K-autocode.  As an academic interest in hobby time I studied the evolving forms of CPL, PL/1 and Algol-68.  My first (temporary) job involved programming in machine code for the EELM KDF-9 computer, with some Algol-60 and Fortran on the side.

I then worked as a recording engineer at the BC for a couple of years.

Back in programming, it was straight into machine code for the PDP-8 and PDP-11.  Then I joined a software house, and had

I have been known to program.

timmymyrs:
Ah, you have quite the resume there.
Aside from what I stated, I've messed around with PHP, am proficient in HTML, & -tried- to dabble in Actionscript.
Actionscript didn't work out too well.. :D

celticgeek:
I have dabbled with a number of languages where it did not work out.  Don't worry too much about it.

And it is "sir". 

timmymyrs:
Yeah. I have a few on my list to attempt before I have my portfolio ready.
C++ & Java, mainly. & possibly F#.
Thanks for the future reference. :p
