I have 8 bosses, Bob.

So who put the L in SQL if it doesn't stand for Language? They should get the L out of there!

For example, maybe you've heard of google apps? maybe not?

Data formats. Libraries. And if you want me to count all the data formats and libraries i deal with in non-web-development, i've got you beat easily.

I was giving John a hard time since he excluded XHTML (XML and its variants) and ASP.NET or declarative programming in .NET as a language.

It is a non-procedural language by nature.

[puromtec1]

ok...so that was a joke, then.

Simple Query Language. Though not so simple these days, especially if you consider Transact/PL SQL and UDF functionality in Oracle and SQL Server. For the rest I’m entirely agree with John.

Yes, and while it's proof that if you bang on a square peg to get it to fit into a round hole long enough, the peg and hole will eventually deform to the point where you don't need to bang anymore, I still maintain that Web + application = absurd.

Structured Query Language.

[PIEBALDconsult]

Oh, not that again. :rolleyes: :-D

[PIEBALDconsult]

Boy, I'm glad I'm not responsible for those. I'm only responsible for one, but I might release it to the wild at some point, then it's popularity may even double!

Thanks!

well try 32 real bosses. I code for a unnamed agency where each of the "board" members are also owners. App consists of a desktop client, a web client and a number of services including DoD spec PKI access and connections to legacy com applications .. :doh:

Yeah, the internet is fad. It will never last. :rolleyes:

We could only be so lucky. Sadly both it and web apps are here for a while.

Just for reference: XML = eXtensible Markup Language XHTML = eXtensible Hypertext Markup Language the W3C considers XPath a language, check their website. asp.net is admittedly a framework, but its just like html with tag namespaces, and should be considered an independent language. CSS is a stylesheet language, here is a PhD paper on stylesheet languages from the Opera website: http://people.opera.com/howcome/2006/phd/[^]

Fratttaro, I don't think you got a copy of the lastest memo. You see, we're using WCF and LINQ for data access. We are also making Silver Light versions of our web pages. You also need to use CAML to put your data in sharepoint. And you'll need to make a sharepoint web part so that the grid can be put in sharepoint. Also, Reports and data export are necessary, so you'll need to become proficient with SSRS and SSIS. It is also a requirement that every web page has regular expressions for validation. Didn't you get that memo?

Web + "HTML Application" = absurd. Of course your need a UI, but our web application, using extJS, renders UI elements straight into the DOM, cutting most of our HTML code down to a few tags to include the frame work. If I define a form panel 'item' as <pre> { xtype : 'textfield', fieldLabel : 'Client Surname', name : 'surname' } </pre> I see a neat label and textbox, that knows if its been changed, and automatically reads and writes from and to the 'surname' field in it's data store. No HTML until the DOM spits it out on the 'other side'. <div style="display:none;" class="CPhogPost"></div> <div class="ForumSig"></div>

[frattaro]

haha, nice, i completely forgot about the nightmare that is regex
