    VB* and markup languages cannot be considered as programming languages ;P finally, C/C++ seem to be the only :cool:

    Next thing you are going to tell me is that I am not bilingual because I know pig latin.

      But I'm a geek. VB4, VB6, VB.NET, C, C++, Java, C#, Javascript, HTML, XHTML, Perl, Php, SQL, T-SQL, PL/SQL, Lisp, Ada, Pascal, mIRC Script, assembly. Sure many will say mark-up languages don't count and some will say scripting languages don't count and others will say assembly is the only true language.

        Well when you want to count languages there is really only one way to do it. Personally, I think the more languages you know the easier it is to learn new ones.

          I was not saying that it is not that way, I was just saying that people that think they know, like fresh students, tend to put all the languages they heard about as if they really knew them, as you did*, for example, javascript, html, xhtml, sql, t-SQl, PL/SQL, mIrc Scripts. And I leave the VB family alone :) *Not saying you are a fresh student btw :p

            Originally I was not going to post the languages but I predicted just putting a number like 20+ would get the invariable, "yeah well name them" response.

                        Sometimes I think 3DMAx is easier than C++ of course I didnt write max code.

                          You mean to learn? Depends on what you do, modelling and rendering are quite easy, but ultra realistinc animations are not that easy :) Of course a huge distributed application isn't always easy to implement :) By Max code you mean scripts or the 3dsMax code? I think you have to be a scientist first and then a developper to do that kind of apps.

                              Been there! I kicked and screamed about classes until I finally tried C++, then it was time to redo my old libaries ;) Of course, this is just how I felt when I moved to .NET/C#, where now I would feel like I was being forced into a crazy house to move back to C++ :)

                                I have known many over the last two decades, but what really matters is what you use on a regular basis. The legacy technologies are ony important if you get stuck maintaining older products or have to convert them to newer technologies. Some around here on CP, will say you need to have a large toolbox with many tools, but I think it is better to focus on one section of technology (one in demand) and master it, live it, eat it, breath it.. Experts typcially command a larger salary than dabbling in many different ones.

                                    I lost count, I have to go back and look at my resume again. Though I only list a fraction of them because most are not worth advertising. Why advertise RPG II/III/IV, Forth, Lisp, Prolog and the like if you are never going to use them. I actually programmed in VB 1.0 back in the day, wrote C libraries and visual designer to match the capability (and then some), and never used VB again. :-D Now try a multithreaded DOS kernel in assembly! it's not the length of your resume that counts, it is what you do with it! ;P

                                      Yeah, when I first started in C#, I was just about ready to bail out for the first few days as I really did not like losing a lot of the control, but shortly, I found there was no need to do all the work I had been doing for years. Once I saw the depth of the .NET frameworks though, I was sold out completely and started banging that huge .NET drum :)
