I'm surprised no-one's posted a programming language, or if they did, I didn't see it. I'm sure there are many fluent C++, Python, VB.net (fail) etc. coders here.

[Bomb]

I'm fluent in PHP and C.

I'm fluent in PHP and C.

prove it

[Bomb]

Okay. Take a look here.

[dan003400]

Looks like crap done for xcode, not proof that you're FLUENT.

[Bomb]

Since when has anyone granted you the right to insult someone else's hard work? All you're doing right now is trolling.

Amethyst and Apex were done in Xcode, but they were also written in Objective-C — about which I said nothing. Equilibrium QVM is C and uPost is PHP.

Let's have a gander at your coding skills, then, since you seem to be the self-proclaimed authority on all software projects.

lol
Dan doesn't code for beans other than VB crap, he makes maps for dpball and other Quake 2 engine mods that are actually really good. Other than shader scripts and such, I think everything he touches is ugly VB.

[Bomb]

Then he has neither reason nor right to call anything I do, or indeed anything anyone does, "crap".

On a side note, what's VB even good for?

[TinMan]

From what we were told in school, VB is good for everything. In real life, VB is good for making really simple GUIs to anything you could write in basic, although some people do actually use it to make video games and stuff, it's not a good language to do that with.

It is a good starter language though, teach a kid how to do VB or Java, they'll move onto useful stuff after they know those

[Bomb]

I skipped the entire BASIC stage.

[TinMan]

A lot of people do. For some it's easy to work their way up to stuff, for others it's best to just start with C.

[Bomb]

I suppose it depends on the background you've had. You'll want to start out with BASIC if you don't know any of the terminology or syntax, but C is better if you have a good understanding of how some of it works.

[Kaleo]

I'm starting with Python, and I'm loving it.

[Bomb]

I never found out what Python is. That said, what is it?

[TinMan]

http://www.python.org/about/
Python is great.

Google is great.

On a side note, the only programming language I ever learned was Basic, and that was in like 1981 or so. Since C has managed to stick around for a while, I guess I should go back and learn to write code (or at least read it) again.

my native/first/best/usual/only language is that of webster's english, the best english to use in america because if you use other english your teachers will lay eggs.

Sock puppets. Total win.

ROFL ROFL 90F1 LOL 101 !!!!!!!1111one!!11 that was just ..... halarious

[TinMan]

snb, I think he means that if you use English with UK spellings (favourite instead of favorite, that kind of thing) in America teachers will mark things like that as wrong.

[snb]

oh ok i just didn't get when he said "lay an egg" neva heard o' dat

[TinMan]

I think it means that they freak out. I have pet chickens, if you scare them they will either lay an egg (if female), or take a dump - like a core dump - (if male or female), yes, this means that they can have poo on their freshly dropped eggs, it's pretty gross.

[snb]

yeah um i didn't need to know that last part
