My favorite language at the moment is C#, though I have experience in C/C++/Delphi/Visual Basic/Others.

I work for a missions-group doing computer programming for them (check out http://iccm.gospelcom.net/ for other people who do computing in missions), and I also work part-time as a contractor doing computer programming (currently those jobs are in C# and Visual Basic 6.

For my personal development, I use SharpDevelop as my editor ( http://www.icsharpcode.com/ ), and I find it works nicely as a free editor to write C# apps in.

Currently I use Java and C/C++. I have messed around with VB, C#, QBasic, and others.

I'm currently programming a robot for the FIRST Robotics competition (using C) and am preparing for the AP Computer Science Exam (http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/ap/sub_compscia.html?compscia) which uses a Java subset (hence the current use of C/C++ and Java )

There are 10 people in this world, those who understand binary and those who dont.

I write computer/game related books and magazine articles. Cheers!

I program, in QBASIC and am learning Python, I have my own studios (Warmouth Studios if you can read my Avatar) but possibly might drop it to join Bluegill Studios (oucast's studio). Hopefully we could merge (Warmouth as a sub division of Blue Gill) but I doubt it. I'd need some of you guyz to Join to make my one person studio worth something .

Out of curiosity... Why are you learning Python? Is there a purpose behind it? Because my understanding is that programmers out there today know C/C++ and other things. But C++ has to be the foundation... is that true?

Well, it's OOP and simpler than C. Plus a firend of mine recomended it and my Visual C++ program doesn't seem to work rite. It may be the foundation (the Pyhton interpreter was written it C) but there are many good languages out there that are easier to understand.

No not really. Python is an awesome language, you can write just about any program (like in C++) using it. Also their is no difference in speed (unlike with say Java... sorry ArchAngel). It's full OOP amd a great first language. Programmers out their do use C++ but many of them in the games industry now learn Python for scripting, and really enjoy as well.

I've read a few game post-mortems and they have talked about how they learnt Python and how it helped them so much. Try it out.

heres just a random article on the speed of python

http://peter.mapledesign.co.uk/weblog/archives/python_is_slow.html

b.t.w D-SIPL, how is your game going, still working with a6 3d gamestudio?
actually i think haskell, a functional language is actually faster.

but having said that python is good for its purposes. and is fast enough for the usual suspects. Also it has some nice features such as higher order functions while rock.

b.t.w D-SIPL, hows things with your game, still using a6 3d gamestudio?
with their recent support of shaders, and move to dx9, i think i'm finally ready to purchase that beast.

7 days without prayer makes one weak.

I currently use Blitz3D for developing games and may consider moving to BlitzMax in the future (but feel no rush to do so atm). I find it an excellent language and 3D engine, it is very robust and flexible (unlike some 'game maker' software) but removes the very low level stuff - and seems plenty fast enough for most things (although there are faster engines ofc).

Other languages include Visual Basic 6.0 and some C/C+, although my C is pretty limited and have mainly used pseudo C like game scripting languages and Unix stuff. Also used some 'in house' languages whilst working for a 'retail software' developer. Oh, and I learnt some Pascal at university which I have never since used and completly forgotten!!

I am currently trying to become an independant games developer and hence work for myself - which can be pretty hard at times I tell you, I have a real tough boss!!

I have also dabbled in php and asp. They are great for using databases.

C++ is next thanks to some help on this forum followed by Java or maybe C#.

I feel that Java will become a neccessity in the programming world, it's multi-platform capabilities have really made it shine recently, it is important now but it doesn't take over like C++ does, I just feel it will soon.

I hope one day to tame the vicious Delphi never before have I run screaming from the computer in such a frenzied fashion as when I attempted to conquer this vicious language. Yeah sure, lots of you find it easy but it look at it this way, I came from Turbo Pascal and after hearing "Delphi is just Visual Pascal" I went straight to it, after nursing a failed "writeln" statement for about 2 hours I broke down in tears exclaiming "tis not Visual Pascal, tis Visual Evil!" I hate Delphi and all it stands for, but when I look at what people make from it (Bloodshed C++) I feel I have to one day get to grips with this monstrosity, the power it exhibits is pretty huge in my opinion, for once Borland have actually impressed me. Whenever I talk about Delphi it is in fear, "It harnesses great power, but will bury you as soon as you compile"

Sure it's no C++ but it's like an in the middle kinda language.

No job, lazy, lazy, lazy, lazy student.

I feel command line is the best thing about programming, I can't stand anything visual, just give me a big blue screen anyday, and i'll type for hours. Ah Borland, tis a harsh mistress.

I am a student.(Hello Gav)

I've been working on 3D stuff in Visual Basic recently.

she's been doing really cool fractals actually, not just 3d stuff.
