I know C, C#, Java, Perl, PHP, Javascript, and a little bit of several others.

I guess an easy way to remember what is and isn't a programming language would be something that could...compile, or, be considered a script?

I concur.

I also agree, however I believe when you are referring to MS's implementation it is actually pronounced sequel server. I *may* be wrong, but I've actually never heard it referred to as anything but.

I don't. It's much easier to say sequel than S. Q. L.
 
I know...

x86 assembly (used mostly MASM or TASM back in the day)
Pascal
PowerBuilder
VB
VB.NET (they're different)
C
C++
Java
C#
Perl
Some Python
Some ADA
Some Ruby
Some Smalltalk

And of course I know the non-programming languages:

HTML
CSS
Javascript (I understand it's a language, but I usually lump it in with everything else web-related)
ASP.NET of course (which isn't a language)
ASP (which also isn't a language)
JSP
etc.

Database-related:

TSQL
PL/SQL
I've worked with MySQL, PostgreSQL and a handful of others, but I don't remember them very well

I think that's it. Everything listed above I work with in a production capacity on a regular basis.
 
Hmm. As someone pointed out, depends on what you consider a programming language. I know some VB, Perl and low end C. Also, used to do some Fortran coding back in the late 80's early 90's. Many consider VB & Perl not to be real programming languages (at least VB6 and lower).

Not sure who these many are, but you need to talk to some different people.

I haven't worked with PHP in about 6 years. None of my clients work with PHP believe it or not. A lot has changed since I last used it, but I could be productive with it rather quickly.

Most of my work in the past several years has focused on .NET (primarily C# and managed C++).

Maybe "many" was too strong of a word, but programming snobs used to thumb their noses at VB, especially the pre-.net versions. It wasn't a "real" programming language. Some of the hard core programmers I used to work with considered Perl to be more of a scripting language than a programming language, though it has really come a long way.
 
C, C++, assembly (x86, PPC, MIPS, TI DSP), PASCAL, FORTRAN, Perl, PHP, ASP, Java, JS, MATLAB, Verilog, VHDL, LabVIEW.
Ph33r the EEs! 😀
 
lets see.

some c and C++

but used to know Fotran and Cobal really well. actually Cobal made me a LOT of money.

trying to learn HTML, java etc
 
I know more than I could easily list off the top of my head, but the ones I use most frequently are:
- PL/SQL (Oracle's procedural language)
- Perl
- C#/ASP.NET
- PHP
- KornShell
- SQL (MySQL, SQL Server and Oracle variants) if you're counting that.
 
c, c++, c#, java, vb, vb.net, perl, php, python, lisp, scheme, prolog, tcl, bourne shell, t-sql, pl/sql

Click to expand...

Javascript is a borderline programming language. Everything else you mentioned would not be referred to as actual software. java, C/C++, ADA, etc ... that's programming.

The things you listed aer more along the lines of scripting and presentation. Might as well call Excel macros "programming"
