I started out with COBOL, then QBasic, then VBasic, then C++, and now I find myself outdated and left behind.

Of all the programming languages I think I like VBasic the most.

What language do you program in and do you have a favorite?

My class once tryed to translate scripts into an old version of COBOL, it was hard and different than other languages.

I know many, some not completely but every programing language is easy-to-understand nowadays which means it takes some hours to be able to use a different one.

Right now I prefer scripting languages like php, but since we are talking about programing languages, it would be Python.

Hello friend, I am happy to know that you're a practical programmer. I do like programming. I have known a little about Basic Turbo Pascal. I have also known C+. They're also for information and I have not done or made an application or program out of those programming languages.

Hey Oldfriend,

I learned a little bit of C++ in my school days and I got instantly hooked with the language. It was really fun to think about a problem and then write a program to solve it by using all the logic, loops, if-else and other things. I never upgraded to advance c++ but what I learned was enough to make me happy. It was like a banana in the hands of monkey. However, later I started losing interest in it and stopped learning new languages.

When I used to spend quite a lot of time on certain forums, I learned a lot about programme languages, and that there were more than one. I seemed to gravitate more towards HTML though, as well as Java.

I ran a company that sold programming to auto dealers for 25 years, but believe me even though I wrote the original application, once I started making money I hired programmers to do the grunt work. When I retired, I sold the company to my head programmer.

I learned C++, Java, Visual Basic, HTML and Javascript when I was studying. When I started working, we used COBOL, PL/SQL, and Java. I don't do programming now, though. Like oldfriend, VB is also my favorite

I think that most people would be shocked to learn that HTML is programming language, because if you ask most people if they know a coding language, they will tell you no. Yet most people know a certain degree of HTML.

HTML is technically not a programming language because it basically formats the type set of the page. However, it does come very close and especially when you bring in others like CSS and PHP. I didn't mention it because I am "old school" where I actually wrote the literal code as in "COBOL."

When I went from Basic to Visual Basic I had a tough time going from written code to object oriented programming.

To this day, I still like writing the actual code instead of drag and drop or libraries.

You are by no means wrong as I probably didn't explain myself clear enough. You make an excellent point.

I also started with Cobol, then Pascal and HTML. Now I friend of mine made my mind to learn Java because of the language structure, he says that after learning Java the other languages become easier to learn. I like to learn new computer languages but I have so few time to do it and that annoys me.

Is it not? I didn't know that. PhP is very easy to get into from HTML, and a lot of people will know a little bit of that.

HTML is technically not a programming language because it basically formats the type set of the page.

The acronym HTML stands for Hypertext Markup LANGUAGE.

It is a markup language, it just tells what is what and has no if statement. Of course you can say what is a JavaScript script and use the if statement but that isn't HTML anymore.

[jacktheking]

Yes. I agree that HTML is a markup language and not a programming language. I wanted to learn programming languages such a C, C Sharp and Java but I am stuck with my low end computer. Even if I have a high end computer, I will not be able to learn anyway since it is really hard. I hope to try them again once I get a hold of how OOP work in PHP - my favorite scripting language.

[bossthecall]

C# is my favourite langugae i find it most comfortable with usage of UNITY3D. its easier in scripting for me then Java or any other langugae, i also have learnt C++, Vbasic, PHP, HTTP And JAVA.

[Forummaster]

Hello everyone, I am a student of computer science. So that I like programming language.
I also learn c, c++, java. And I love a programmer.

Thanks to all

[castbound]

C++ , C# and Java are amazing languages... In particular all languages are good and if you are good in one language then you can easy implement it on other...

[shohan_bnpl]

Programming Language is really very interesting thing. I also like to make programming language. But I properly not able to make it. Otherwise i made a wordpress theme to watching some video's from youtube for my blog site.

[kaka135]

The first programming language I learned was Ada. I was an Engineering student and my friend who studied Computer Science told me, he read about this language from History of Programming. I didn't really like that language, perhaps it was my first language, and I didn't really understand it well. After that I learned Cobol, Pascal, machine language and perhaps some others. I don't remember all these, as I didn't use them at work at all.

Then I learned C, C++, Java and Visual Basic. I used Visual Basic, then C# at work. I am more familiar with C# now, as this is the language I use the most while developing applications.

I learned Pascal in high school. It is a primary subject as an attempt to improve knowledge for the next generation. My country has been falling behind. That is really ridiculous because Pascal is not useful for general people. Not to mention we learned about OS, Word, Excel, Access and then jumped to this. I think my Education ministry is the one should learn about IT first lol.

Most of us didn't take it seriously and learned nothing from it though. The education program is a joke. It is still being used now. As a curious person I find it very interesting . I learned it quite fast but I forgot it all now cos I have no chance to use it ever since.

I got to know a little of php and HTML when being an content administrator for a website and I did my intern in a web designing company (I was in Marketing department haha) . I picked up knowledge here and there hehe. They are handy sometimes ^^.

[loba]

for today modern programming language, I think there are several sexy programming language in term of learning resources and community such as:

java with spring framework, and also android studio

php with laravel

javascript with angular js beside reactjs
