C/C++ (if there is any language I could not live without this is it)

VB (good for rapid UI front ends and database apps when Access forms are just barely not good enough)

Java (but I don't use it, i don't care much for sand boxes)

PHP and ASP with VBS

SQL

Win32 / DX9 / OpenGL

Assembly on:

-Z80 (Ti86)
-6502/65816/SPC700 (SNES)
-x86 (PC)
-SH4 (Dreamcast)
-ARM7 (GBA)
-PPC 750 (Gamecube)
-MIPS (PS2 EE)
-PS2 VUs and GS/VIF/GIF/DMAC

Yeah its mostly all game related... but I'm pretty much language independant, just give me the spec sheet or user manual for any CPU/MPU in the world and I'm on it.

Anyone remember execute buffers? (before DX 5)

Anyone have advice on where to start learning c++? (a book maybe :))

I took a high school class on it but you know how those are. I know the basics but I'm not sure of any resources to glean more information from.

I used that to teach myself a bit of C++. Only problem is it's long, and I wasn't especially enthusiastic, so I only made it to the 10th day thing (I was doign it during a class I had in the morning in which we did nothing, but I always just wanted to fall asleep rather than read).

Learned COBOL when I was in college and we did it using punch cards. Now that's old school! Guess I'm an old fart.

hmm...
if we count stuff I can do real stuff in...java, PHP, SQL, javascript.

if we count things I've played around with... ASP, VB, scheme, prolog, turing.

I have used C#, VB.NET and SQL for work.

I learned C, C++ and Java in college. I learned a little VB 6.0 during my spare time.

I remember taking classes in Pascal and QuickBasic in high school. Going even further back, I remember learning BASIC and Logo in 6th grade.

C++, Java, VB 6.0 (although it's been a couple years) and some X86 assembly.

Forget VB 6.0, they changed everything in .NET (VB 2005)

Say goodbye to real time database interactions (ADODB), now you have to deal with offline data sets and concurrency problems (OLEDB)
