Default What's your language of choice?

Just curious...do we have any programmers in the house? What languages do you program in?  Anybody know openGL? I could sure use the help right now...hahaha! Me, I usually do C, C++, Java.  Perhaps this summer I'll tackle Perl and PHP.

I like basic.  The orignal basic.  Like 10 goto 20 command line type stuff myself.  ;D,  Sorry getting reminisant.  Just curios if anyone knows where I could get somemore information on VB and some software to start learning more about it.  Also for someone starting back into this (I knew Basic well but alas it is a lost art form I'm afraid), is there a better starting point to get back into programming.  All this perl and Java stuff seems like quite a jump to me.  By the way Long live DOS 5.0.

Hi Savage.  Hehehe...yeah, I also miss those good 'ole days of BASIC.  I learned how to program in BASIC when I used to own a Commodore 128D!  *sigh*  Those were the glory days! I really don't know if there are any free programs for VB.  I know that it is bundled with the Visual Studio Suite and you can probably get it as a stand alone copy either from Micro$oft or some online store.  There are places that you can get it for an educational discount as well. Of course, if you look hard enough I'm sure you'll run into a site that has it for download somewhere...you never heard that from me. Hahaha! I guess there goes that theory of me being anonymous.  

I think a good place to start with an object oriented type of language would either be C++ or Java.  As the program evolution goes, Java came out of C++ and C++ came out of C.  Java is good in a way because it does a lot of automated things for you that you would have had to take care of yourself in C++.  On the other hand, C++ is still pretty much THE language of choice (aside from C) in the industry.  Let me know if you need any help.

Thanks, I just stumpled acrossed a link to this site on geek.com curtosey of Digital Vixen I believe and really love it.  Been trying to get back into computers again after a long time away.  One of my last classes was in High School and my instructor refused to teach Windows.  He said it was a passing fad and that crash happy program would fall on its face.  Well at least he was right on one account.  What I woulnd't give to find some good and current distro's of DOS and some good apps know what I mean?  Ah well guess I gotta get with the times and through out the commadore 64.  Yhea it took a long time to load but it was instantly on when ya flipped the switch.  No stinking boot process here.  Gotta love it, gotta move on.

Here's another site you might want to try, http://www.devshed.com/
I'm still wet behind the ears, myself. Trying to catch up with the latter part of the 20th century and having a BLAST doing it...

I'm a programmer (in my own eyes anyways) back in the old days I started with basic, then Asm, then pascal, then Vc++, now I'm a big Vb 6.0 fan. I like vb because its a rapid app. development language, so my customers don't have to wait very long for cool programs. No matter how visual C++ gets, it will never be as quick to develop in (not that I haven't developed large programs in it). OpenGL is just a library for programming graphics, I don't think that you need to use any one programming language to implement it.

Depends on what is being developed. VB is great with storing and displaying related records, but doesn't work well for games and stuff. I am still learning C++ and Java is just plain fun (to me anyway).
