C++ is my favorite.

I had forgotten about LOGO. LOGO must be my very first programming experience. Thank you for refreshing fond memories.

For anyone interested, a simple search turned up these sites on LOGO:

http://www.edu.uleth.ca/students/logo/default.html

http://mckoss.com/logo/

http://midwich.rdg.ac.uk/staff/Ron.Brasington/Logo.WWW/Software.html

This last link has links to downloads of LOGO for Mac, DOS, and UNIX. The links point to local files, but just change the protocol from file to ftp and you will have no trouble.

my favorite is VB and the entire basic family (5 years)

and the web.. coldfusion/asp/php and the scripting languages .. etc. .etc..

i miss assembly language though..
mov DL,40h
cmp AL,0Bh

The entire basic family is gross!

I started with basic because my 8088 had no hard-drive, and if you started it without a floppy, then it would boot into BASIC...

But It's totally lame!
Same thing with the other versions, I used
BASIC
BASICA
GWBASIC
QuickBasic
Ms QB4.5
In that order,

then i learned some other languages,
and it seemed like basic programming isnt even really like programming... its psycho...
Like that whole lack of structure thing...
With the lack of memory control and all...

VB is okay... but its so high-level that its... Different...

Now if im doing anything important then I'll use c,
and if its just some stupid little things ill use Turbo Pascal.

Im suprised that all of you guys are so into visual programming?
I thought that this place would be filled with c fans?

Well, I'm a fan of C, so you shouldn't be too dissappointed. Not too great at it, but I still enjoy it. JAVA's not bad either, but C++ is MUCH better.

VIsual C++, and Visual Basic
I'm learning java in school and can't really make up my mind if I like it or not. I just started COBOL and I really hate it! I know it's supposed to be basic but the crap just gets so confusing.

I learned C in colleague and have used it to learn Java, Perl, and ABAP (a proprietary language owned by SAP closer in syntax to Cobol). My favorite is C. VB is great for RAD (Rapid Application Development) but somewhat clunky @ runtime. HTML I consider a format tool like xml and not a language.

I once had to use 64-bit assembler -very efficient -very painful

I know vB and a bit of Java (and HTML, but like the last poster said, it's not really a language.) But which of all the various languages do you think are the most useful?

October 24th, 2001, 02:28 AM

I know HTML is not a language but it is something i know how to write. I remember LOGO I played with that back in JR. High School.:D
C++ and VB and Java are what I think is the most usefull.
But others might think different

ammo

October 24th, 2001, 05:41 AM

I do & like c/cpp (Visual C++ too), java, vb (for quick dev/UIs/database interfaces (ADO is just sooo easy))...

Dislikes: ADA (they teach it at the university I go to, though I've had those (most) courses credited; I think it's stupid to teach that as a first language since it's soooo unused...)
perl (I've used it very little, but I find the syntax weird and inconsistent... like a quote I've read before said "Perl, the only language that looks the same before and after RSA encryption!" ;)

and a few others I've tryied/use(d) (commodore 128 basic, javascript and ohter scripts...)

C. The only language that matters.

C++? Just some add-ons.....

Java? Just C++, 'cept partially interpreted, so you don't have to rewrite your sources for different machines.....

Perl? Nice, but it's not C.

Lisp? Too many parenthesis.

Assembler? Powerful, but rather more eyestrain than I like to deal with....

Gotta love C.

Prog. is not for kids, nor is i fun to makes prog's in prog lang's that are too easy. For example Java. Of all the lang's that i have seen so far, my personal fav will always remain 'C', with a mixture of assembly. There is nothing more powerful that this, there is no limits to what u can do with this combination. Next i like prog. with LISP, for it gives u extended features. But if we're speaking abt a lang. for a beginner, then there is nothing better than V.B.

Favorite compiled: C/C++

Favorite scripted: TCL

Other languages that are good:
Java, Perl, Pascal (for my old DOS machine), Shell scripting

XML is a data definition language, NOT a format language like HTML.
Some of the XML Schemas are used for page layout (ie XHMTL) but most are used to define data.

Happy Hacking!

No doubt C and java have gain market they cann't beat assembly.

Tim_axe

October 26th, 2001, 03:01 AM

For the web, I think that JavaScript is pretty good. Combined with some ActiveX controls (Mainly to Save/Load Files), I can do quite a few things with my JavaScripts...

I also Like PERL, for writing CGI scripts, but I haven't time to learn it now, especially since I'm trying to write some CGI in C++...

C and C++ are good languages, but I don't know too much about it yet.

If there were more interesting things to do in my QBASIC programming class (Since they won't let me take anything more advanced :(), then I would probably like it, but it seems that I can do more in C++ (even with my very limited knowledge of it...)

Man Assembly is not gr8 for evil ppl and for Virii, its cool cause u can control ur hardware. Most of the virus are created in VB and VC, but i have not come to know or i haven't yet seen any virus coded in assembly.

The most important thing of Assembly is that u can create C, or C++ like that languages in Assembly but u cann't create Assembly in those languages.

Ennis

October 26th, 2001, 04:05 PM

There are virii written in pure assembly Kakakool, do you have a broad interest in the subject or are you simply trying to undermine me. Yes VB is a popular language for virus coding perhaps due to its simplicity but assembly virus is not something I made up for fun.

Gobinjf

October 27th, 2001, 08:54 AM

Hello Kakakool ...

It was a long time since you said something completly stupid. Seems that you can't control on that point, do you ?

You can write a C/C++ compiler in assembly. You can also write an Assembly in C/C++ ... you can even write it in VB or prolog.

Virtually, any language is equivalent. What change is the need you have for it. You could reprogram an "hardware device handler" in C if you want (Basic would be far far far far more difficult to use, but not impossibe to use, I worked once again with a microcontroller that use BASIC to be programmed), and you can write a whole internet browser in assembly if you want. Both will be harsh works.

My favorite language, for now, is C. Pure C I mean, without C++ extensions. 80x86 assembly is also cool, but tend to be a little hard to use when it comes to code optimization, because of many many penalties rules to be checked.

I was also a great fan of Z80 and 8051 assembly.

No im not trying to undermine you, its just i like to learn and more abt. virii. I have developed a few virus too. I like news and views abt. virus a lot . So if u can provide me information abt. assembly viruses i'll highly appriciate it .

The point i wan't to make in my post is that since assembly is mainly used in those areas where hardware is mainly involve whereas C is not used for such problems thats y i said one cann't develop assembly in C while a C can be develop in assembly. You can develop compiler of any language in any other language like i've done i develop the compiler of PASCAL in C. It wasn't that good but was my first try and i think i learn a lot from that experience.

One more thing abt. assembly ppl. can play with languages like C and Java blap balp, but one is very cousious while using assembly since it directly store values in registers and work with ur hardware.

Anyway i also recommend C , casue assembly coding is quite difficult and u have to learn lots of codes for simple operation. Thats y i've not bound myself in any language im a general programmer its upto my collegues to code the softwares that i analyze .

Well I've gotten into a little C/C++, and just started getting into Perl. C is easy to learn and code and is fairly powerful, more powerful than C++ as far as non-graphical code goes, but if you want a mouse involved, C++ is the way to go in C/C++. But now there is C#, which is a combo of C/C++, and Java, I've heard from people who were learning it that its a pretty sweet ass languauge. But then Perl just kicks ass, its much like C/C++, but you don't have to define variables (you can if you want, but you don't have to) and no stupid header files. Plus its mult-platform without having to add extra stuff like you do in Java......

Just my 2 cents.......

October 27th, 2001, 12:32 PM

C/C++ is by far the best language because it allows you to do almost everything you could ever want on a computer without having to resort to writing assembly code (v. difficult!). Nearly all commercial games are written in C with a bit of assembler to speed things up

Visual Basic is okay for beginners, but it has no portability across platforms or OSs, and it's proprietory software so microsoft controls its development.

Pascal/Delphi is the best alternative to VB for beginners, but I find that it's limited when you want to perform more powerful tasks.

Perl is great for system admin on *nix, and PHP wins hands down for ease of use, portability and power on the web (which is probably why Antionline uses it to power the forums!).

Not having to define variables can be "risky" and hard to debug when you're program gets big...

the gorilla and nibbles/snake games for QuickBasic were quite amusing. i also remember driving everyone in the computer room nuts by programming a siren.

as far as programming goes, BASIC and the other BASICs were fun and easy to learn (i first learnt it on a CP/M).

Visual Basic, although Microsoft, is also easy to learn and use, although my use for it is limited to Excel.

even with C++, java and C# around i think C still a good language to learn.:D

Simon Templer

October 31st, 2001, 01:14 AM

hello Kezil,

I'm not sure what operating system your using, but if you are running Windows, I can offers a few places to find compilers & interpreters.

For C++ I recommend you take a look at Borlands Website, they have alot of FREE tools available including a free C++ compiler (I think for the compiler & debugger, it was about a 9-10MB download).

If you interested in Perl ... I suggest that you visit ActiveState, they (according to my reading) are the leader in Perl Development on a Win32 system. They have a free downloadable interpreter (About a 9MB Download) with lots of good documentation.

Visual Basic, hmmm, that's a tough one, I have yet to see a Visual Basic Compiler that is available for FREE.

Assembly, again Borland has alot of great tools, but I think you have to pay for Borlands Turbo Assembler, however, Micro$oft released a FREE assembly compiler called MASM.

More...

If your interested in learning Java, I would highly recommend that you visit Sun MicroSystems (The Creators of Java) they have a FREE compiler for Java as well as documentation and a very comphrensive tutorial. Also, I would suggest a program called RealJ, its not a compiler, but a great text editor for Java, It's FREE and well worth the measly 800k download.

You can find links to all the above tools at my site:
www.geocities.com/pharmicomlabs

Under the "Programming Tools" section.

I hope this has helped :)

Kezil

October 31st, 2001, 01:29 AM

wow...M$ gave something away for free?!?!?:eek:

Anyway, thanks for all the compiler links, I'll definately look into them, but my question was more if anyone had created a single compiler that worked for all those languages. If not, then there's an idea for me (or perhaps one of you intelligent programmers out there) to work on. Got alot of work to do though, only know a bit of VB and beginning to learn C/C++(which gets my vote, so far).

Again, thanks

Dev-C++ (http://www.bloodshed.net/) is a good C/C++ compiler that works under Windows. It's free and open source.

As for assembly, I've used TASM (turbo assembler) from Borland but I'm not sure where you'd get it from now. Visual C++ also has built-in support for assembly using MASM.

Yeah, I know the feeling... I admit I have still some things to learn, but it's so infuriating when your teacher assumes you know nothing... My worst case of that was in highschool, we were doing BASIC on commodores 128 (don't ask!) Heck, we spent 3 months "programming" pictures and music (you know, drawing with insturcition like in logo and translating sheet music note by note... I mean, I SOOO hated that.. it's not even programming, but the other kids in the class thought it was fun.. argh!

C++ is great and versatile. I would have to say that I also enjoyed quickbasic when it was back in it prime (if ever). I would have to say that C# is definetly not sweet. Looks like some wackos at Sun Micro and Microsoft threw Java and C in a pot and C# just popped out. It a very complicated language and if your not making web-based apps, you'd better put on your game face. C++ for life. And maybe some java when im in hell...:(

I would say C++, since its the ony language Im a bit learned in.
C++ combined with OpenGL is very fun to play around with :D

My absolute favourite is Delphi, but I also like other languages like C#, C++, Assembler, Pascal, Qbasic, and for graphics OpenGL. For scripting I always use Javascript, PHP and Perl.

Well, I grew up on BASIC, so I'd have to say VB as my first and C++ secondary.

I also enjoy HTML...but for most people who know me, that's a given.

Right now I'm really hung on JavaScript, but I also get a kick out of VisualBasic. I used to be fairly proficient in C++, but I've forgotten almost of all it since I changed my major from Computer Science over to MIS. Nonetheless, I'd have to say those are my top three.

The first language i recommend picking up is english. Once you have mastered that....c, c++, perl, java or maybe c#.

Hey, english is actually my third language in real life. When I learned C/C++, I read many C/C++ books written in english, and both my english and my C/C++ got better since then...

Peace always,

Hehe....english is by no means a real prerequisite for learning to code. I was simply commenting on the post before mine (I should have put a quote to make it more clear) and his erm....ability to express himself.

Known (in the order I learned them): BASIC, Pascal, C, dBase, PAL (Paradox Application Language) ObjectPAL, Visual Foxpro, VB, Java, VB.NET

Favorite: VB.NET

p.s. I *HATE* Perl. Can't stand it. Tried to learn it, hated it. LOATHED it. Anyone who thinks Perl is a good language should be surrounded by a chorus of Namibian forest pygmies ranting about the suckiness of Perl in that click-based language they speak, 24/7.
