I work at a company that makes banking software primarily with vb.net and cobol. What about the rest of the technological population of this site? :)

well i do the l.a. times crossword,
does that count?
how about cryptoquips or cryptograms?
talk about codes,,, ouch,,,
hello from montana, go cats,,,

I've come to the unfortunate realization that I do not possess enough knowledge to successfully do crosswords though I love cryptograms and logic puzzles(particularly crosshatch diagrams). It's hard as hellfire to find books of logic puzzles...it's all Sudoku and Word Searches. Even the variety puzzles don't have em

Some of the Dell puzzle magazines include three or four logic problems per issue. There's an ad in some of those magazines where you can buy specialty magazines (all logic, all acrostic, all laddergrams, etc.) but I've never seen any of those in a store. I love doing the 16 x 16 Sudokus but those are hard to find, too.

ya I might have to order myself some. I've been doing tons of cryptograms but I love the really complicated ones that take hours to solve specifically those that require no outside knowledge. :D I've only done the little sudokus lol. 16*16 sounds fun O.o;

I network and fix computers on a daily basis, but my coding skills are limited to html and css. I don't have the patience or desire for programming

I work with C# and SQL primarily, but I have used vb.net some.

I primarily program in Java but I know C/C++ and HTML/XHTML and CSS as well. My Software Engineering degree I am in the middle of has VB .NET as the last two classes. But I will still primarily code in Java.

I have an interesting question since we are on the topic of codeing. I am learning network programming from the java.net class binding to sockets and sending datagrams ect.. Can anyone tell me if I wanted to establish a connection with the gnutella network what their IP address is or whatever I would need to create a handshake point to create downloads. Gnutella is a network that ppl call peer to peer file sharing just in case you have not heard of it. I looked on google and could not find the IP address and that is needed to establish a connection.

I am currently learning Ruby on Rails....very cool.
I have written programs in a long list of languages:
fortran...ya i'm that old...shut up
Matlab
Python
Java...hated it!
R
SQL
Visual Basic....love it!
HTML
CSS
some strange language that a bar code label printer used...I reprogrammed it to print the labels in a different format for an engineering job I had once upon a time.

Yep I'm a geeky nerdy science freak

What was it about Java you did not like??? I've coded in C/C++ and JavaScript and they are actually pretty similar between the three. I do not know for sure, but I have heard that Java is a C derived language and that they share similarities that other languages do not have.

Day to day I'm stuck with DXL (bonus points if you know what that is) and VBA. In my spare time, I tend to stick with php, html, and ECMAscript with MySQL.

I stopped VB right before .Net was released. I've tried C, C++, and Java, but can't see to make them stick. I took Pascal in high school and hated it. I took Fortran in college and quickly realized that my graphing calculator came with a more robust language built into it.

I am determined to learn Java, though, no matter how hard it is for me to get it. I think my learning Basic when I was 8 really pigeonholed my brain as far as programming. Stupid brain.

i work for a company in Burbank designing graphic animations for new games. regrettably, coding and programming are not my department so i'm limited to a meager understanding of java, however if anyone needs advice on Maya or Mudbox, than i'm your man.

I've been doing graphic design mainly print stuff, but now venturing into website designing. Staring to look at codes for sites. Its a lot to soak in right now. Im starting to understand how html, css, js work together. Always looking to learn more though or team up with a developer to help my graphics come to life!

cheers to this community!

I've heard great things about Ruby.

long ago:

fortran, c, c++, java, perl, javascript


recently:

c, java, python, php

I started with cobol and assembly. I still like assembly but C flavored language I am fluent in, VB I am okay but I feel like it is a klutzy language to program in. You gotta remember when I did BASIC, it was line numbered and spaghetti you had to wade through.

I used to repair computers to chip level too, just part of the job.

I've looked at them when but never really got into it. I tried to dabble in BASIC languages and C/C++, but now I just work with web languages, mainly for my websites, which I primarily use PHP and HTML. I should strengthen my knowledge and experience with CSS, javascript, and such but how I do things now has been working so far, I will eventually change my ways though.
