How long have you been programming, what languages r u good at, what languages do u plan to learn and finally how has life been as a programmer. I'll start with my answers- 12months in programming, python,mysql,html, java,c/c++, php,javascript vb and ruby.

I love my career part and i'm addicted to the programming section of nairaland forum, where great minds think alike!

One year in PHP,MySQL,CSS,Javascript and jQuery now going to Java and Andriod
Android for life.

u guys r superhuman beings. Learning 4 languages at once when u are still a novice.

its jus CSS, javascript, MySQL, PHP. Anybody can handle it

. For an experienced programmer, its no big deal. For newbies, its tantamount to biting off more than they can chew.

I like to think that no one is born an 'experienced programmer'. Its a 'title' that comes with time.. So if they are motivated, they will reach that level of experience you think they need

i do JAVA and PHP majorly, uhmmmm

Just starting with html. But u gonna watch ur back cos am coming like a wide fire. Frm html 2 css 2 js 2 asp.net 2 sql 2 java and soak myself total to programmers future prog...i will nt review it yet cos it is still a secret. But d name starts wit an**

i think the most popular language is java. my friend jst got a very good job wit this software company , although he lied bout his past job experiences on his resume but he was the best amongst other applicants during the interview. They were asked to write a java program within a certain time frame using a loop. He started in Jan and jst acquired this supercool suv(fx50) and a nice crib. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!

I play with Java, Python, PHP, JS. I've been coding for 6 years.

For programming beginners, this website shows you how to do. Some people learn by visuals, this is be quite useful if you're in this category or experienced programmers can also share videos on here too

is not about knowing the codes but how many million you have made with it.

unclenna: is not about knowing the codes but how many million you have made with it.

How i go take answer this guy now? If you don't work hard to "know the codes" how will you make the millions? i smell beef

Good luck. From where I am, businesses don't want to sign a deal because I've got no "big" references. So I've decided to make free software for a while so I can build a strong portfolio.
P.S.: And overprice your software too. Many people think "more expensive" = "better quality". Is that true, Linus?

starting this summer with: Agile web development with rails by sam ruby. Does anyone in the house has experience in ruby on rails? what are the best books to guide you?

I have learnt html,Css,PHP/MYSQL presently on Python and 2 other CMS.

I love programming..........

Focus on Python first and learn virtually all you can do with It. Knowing multiple languages doesn't make you a better programmer. If you need more inspiration, search Google for Alex Gaynor.

Lots of programmers wit a lot of experience, I like this!
I just started my JavaScript tutorial, so far I've learnt HTML/XHTML, CSS and am seriously thinking about learning VBScript, but I have PHP/ASP on my mind after JavaScript. What do you guys think about VBScript

I'm still learning python and taking a second class on that next fall but this summer i wanna learn ruby on rails cos i'm working with a team on a web application using ruby on rails...i'm trying to learn what will be useful to me in the long run, not trying to know all! Ruby on Rails is really catching on..how long have you been programming using python?

Ruby as my main language since late 2009.

Python for like 2-3 weeks now (trying to make it my main language).

C++ and C in high school and a bit in college.

Octave all throughout college and present.

PHP for fun in high school.

Took a class in Java in college.

Oh, and of course, did some programming in BASIC at age 6 or 7 We used to have these book in the library that'd teach you how to get started programming in BASIC. They taught you the basic control structures.

So pretty comfortable with many different languages and syntax styles.
