Teh omg, coding!?
« on: 01 Aug 2005, 22:54 »

Now, I'm an amateur programmer, if that, because all I know is HTML and a teeny bit of PHP, but I know I'm not the only one.


....


Am I?


What do you know?

I know several languages. I know C/C++ up to overloading the insertion opperator and friend functions (always get lost at those parts) and I know how to build a class in Python.

I need to get back in the saddle and learn more about inheritence and Has-A, Is-A relationships in Python and how to interact with the gtk/gtkmm libraries.

i'm trying to re-learn CSS at the moment. for stuff like colum- layouts and drop down menus and so on.

if i can get my head around all that, then i might try some basic php.

actual programming stuff is all leftover from school, and in useless languages like pascal, basic, and even logo, ffs.

CSS, html, a tiny bit of PHP, and that's it.

The real trick to CSS (unfortunately) is getting shit to work in all browwsers.

I started programming aged 7 (ZX Spectrum BASIC!) and haven't stopped since (I'm 30 now).  I do C++ things professionally & at some point I'm going to upload my serial analyser to sourceforge or something because open source code is wonderful.
My brother is enough into CSS to make me get all squishy when a website's menus & stuff work in my no-java Mozilla :)  & he defined a (PHP?) exception class called "poo" so he could write "throw poo" and "catch poo" and things, [giggle|sigh] :D.

Html, dash of CSS, want to get to know PHP to the point of being able to set up a wiki or a forum.

I also used to be able to rock out mightily in BBC Basic, but that has kinda limited applications...

using a global whitespace reset at the start of all your stylesheets really, really helps:

http://leftjustified.net/journal/2004/10/19/global-ws-reset/

it resets all the padding and margins on every element (p, h1, h2, h3, ul, li and so on) to 0. this is allows you absolute control over padding and margins; otherwise they use 'default' settings (which vary from browser to browser). (my explanation sucks. read the link above).

also, i don't even bother serving CSS to 4.0 browsers anymore. they're at least 8 years old now, and are so buggy / standards-incomplient it's not even funny. if you're still using a version 4 browser now, i didn't want you to see my site anyway :P

HTML, a smidgen of PHP, CSS and SQL, VB, Java, an ounce of JavaScript...  And a slight bit of NWNScript (which appears to be a bastardized form of C++/C#/C and VB).

Lately I've been thinking about teaching myself more.

HTML, CSS, and C++ is all for me. (Q)BASIC doesn't really count in my book, because although it was once used for practical things, it's become an "Intro to Programming" language in the past few years.

MATLAB is hella tight. It made my digital signal processing course so much easier when we found the built in tool to design any kind of filter we wanted. Our teacher was not very happy with that.

They both have their places!  MATLAB is all there is for data processing, but if I want to throw together an automation system to run an experiment, LabView is extremely useful.  Plus, the whole little-colored-block-running-round-on-the-wire-is-my-data thing makes debugging fun!

For programming I know a bit C++, Java and Matlab. Truthfully though, if you know one language it isn't really that hard using another, with a bit of reference for syntax and words.

I coded HTML and CSS before, haven't tried for a while but I kept myself strictly to W3C standards so I'm guessing most of it is still usable.

Yay, nerds!
I am adept with C# (yay, .NET!), both WinForms & ASP.NET; plus your SQL, JavaScript, XHTML, XML, CSS and whatever other web techniques/languages I need to know.
I can still remember a good deal of Java, C++ and VBScript (ASP3.0)
And can probably remember bits of Scheme, Lisp, and 6800 Assembly from school.

I've been meaning to learn Python, Delphi, and PHP but I haven't done anything in that regard yet.

Too much to do & too little time.

I've had fun learning to code during college.

Started with Java, then C, then C++, then x86 assembly, and some MIPS assembly as well.  I've done some minor scripting stuff at my job (javascript, perl).

But I'm a hardware engineer, so the real fun stuff I get to do is with MATLAB (nothing like designing and simulating a WCDMA wireless system) and Verilog.

For people who don't know, Verilog is a hardware description language.  It gets synthesized (the hardware equivalent of compilation) into logic gates, which can be sent out to a fabrication plant and turned into a real piece of silicon that does stuff.  It's fun, I wrote a MIPS processor for my computer architecture class in it.

That's ok, my uni's actually pretty good at getting boards for me when I need them.  What device is on it, just out of interest?

Yeah VHDL's not pretty, but my biggest beef is with the Xilinx tools - they've given me so many problems you wouldn't believe....

Hrm.  Let's see...  I'd do it in alphabetical order, but I cannot think that way.

Java, C#, C/C++, PHP, Python, Spec#, Turbo Pascal.

Probably missing a few.  I'm a 'software engineer' (such a BS term) so I pretty much do that shit for a living.  Though I'm more of a architect/design/team lead person these days.  Whee business crap...
