)
4years java (learned it in 1st year of college)
this year ASP.NET with C#

i've seen perl and learned opl by myself when i had a psion series 5 (forgot both of them though)

Programming is not knowing languages however, it's the structuring and analysis & design that's the most important part. Each language is similar once you know how to program (aside from syntax and small structure differences)

I've done Python, a bit of Assembly, and VB.NET. I'm going to take an introductory course for C++ soon. The thing that get most people in programming would have to be the logic, at least that is what I have seen in my classes.

I know PHP, JavaScript, C, C++, and Visual Basic 6. I've done a tiny bit of Python before, but never really gave it a chance. I recently made a vocabulary review game for my English class in PHP and JavaScript (AJAX ftw), so that people could study for the final exam. The high scores used to be more impressive, but the script did something bad and I had to delete them

I have a massive list I needed to learn in university and at my job. From school html (with css), javascript, c, c++, java, vb.net. On the job XML and SQL (very easy to learn), ASP & ASP.net, and Actionscript 3.0. I know a little python (written one app but very similar to c).

Just realized listing those off that I live a very, very dull life.

Edit: typo.

What?

xD
I learned a bit of javascript and python, mostly to learn the logic, basic principles of programming, and all that good stuff. I wanted to learn some c++ to do some homebrew, but just could never find the time for it. Summer break is coming up, so I think I'll spend some of my time trying to make some cool games. =)

I have, twice. MATLAB for my engineering class my freshman year of college, then a year later with C#. I, uh, hated both. They were unfortunately way out of my league, and of course too similar to escape notice.

The only coding I can somewhat do is HTML, though of course not anymore. =P

The first thing I ever did was on the Commodore 64. My dad had a book of programs and I typed some of those up fo fun.

Then I got qBasic when I was young. Made some simple text based programs to organize my comics.

Then in high school I discovered that my TI-83 used a language very similar to the qBasic I knew so I made some text programs on my calculator.

In college, I had to take an HTML class which also included XHTML where I made some simple webpages.

Shortly after that I had to take a Visual Basic class where my final project was a Hangman game with where you could select a word length, and it then picked from a pre-made bank of words. It was just awesome. I'm gonna have to find it now and upload it.

Lastly, I took a C++ class where I learned so much. But of all the languages I have learned, I'd say C++ is the most robust of them all.

Found it!

jumpman17.gbatemp.net/Hangman.rar

This was the result of many, many sleepless nights of work. It was a team project but I ended up doing everything except for the hangman pictures.

And yes, I realize the high score board doesn't keep the score once you exit the program. I ran out of time and my brain was shot as I pretty much went a week without sleep.

I've dipped in and out of a few forms of scripting and programming. C, Perl, HTML, ActionScript 2, VB6 (LAWL) and some shell scripts. Extremely basic stuff but that's because I left programming stream to hit up Network design with a touch of security stuff. Wireless shit is oddly interesting.

Anyways, I'm always up for taking a stab at things and I still enjoying writing shit even though everything I know is heavily outdated and worthless outside of hobby and personal use. I thought about looking into DS once or twice and I still think about it from time to time. I've got a lot of free time while I'm job hunting and I guess I think about taking up a lot of things.

I've written a few utilities but nothing majorly impressive. Everything I wrote was in Delphi. I chose it mostly because it's so damned logical and easy to read.

Python, HTML and a little bit of Java. Next semester I'll be learning XML and I intend to learn (teach myself) C and Objective-C in the next year or so. Additional languages are likely since I'm thinking of majoring in Computer Science at uni.

    @SylverReZ, I also heard one of the Prince of Persia games was so unfinished that it required the "24/7 online" drm so a puzzle could be done and the game could be finished. And that when the Ubisoft servers were closed the (cracked) game was impossible to finish or something like that
