    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.

      I know at least 15+ different programming languages and have worked with them all.

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

          Never learned much assembly (Macro-11), Fortran, or COBOL. Haven't done BASIC or Pascal since college. Only dabbled in C++ and D. C and C# are the only languages I've been paid to use and my C is getting rusty. Knowing a bunch of languages doesn't work for me.

                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.

                                          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++ :)

                                          So you're not one of the C++ diehards (everything must be written in C++, managed code is for wimps) then? :) I found when I first started playing with C# circa .NET 1.0 Beta 2 that C++ looked ugly. Still, I do try and keep some interest in its developments.
