Mr. Fluffy Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) Discuss computer programming here. I am a beginner who is taking a computer programming class in which Microsoft Visual C++ is used (I use 2010). The most elaborate program I've made is one that determines if a triangle is not a triangle, obtuse, right, or acute based on side lengths that the user inputs. Took about half an hour to make.

GSR Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I'm mostly a Java man myself, though I dabble in C# and C++. Got a big coding job interview coming up at the end of the week I'm busy practicing for; hoping it pulls through! Quote Hey: I'm not very active around BZP right now.

Than the Moa Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I'm graduating this semester from UWEC with a degree in Computer Science. I currently have an internship working mainly in Java based web development. I also know C, C++, C#, and much to my chagrin, Scheme. I have two interviews for full time programming postions post graudation set for Wednesday. Quote Yo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHTrilogy Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I've gotten to grips with the basics of AGS scripting, if that comes to something. Quote ~ CHTrilogy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumiki Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I hand-code Web sites with HTML, CSS, and a touch of JavaScript. (I despise WYSIWYG editors.) I used to know a lot more about BASIC, Python, and a little of Java, but I haven't touched those in a long time ...

Ektris Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I'm currently working towards a Computer Science degree at PSU. I know C, C++, and Java. I'm also working for the school's chemistry department in developing an online version of the introductory chemistry class - one of the largets classes on campus. Haven't done too much work for it personally, though, since I just started.~|ET|~ Quote E-T... Phone home. "He walks among us, but he is not one of us."

~Allegretto~ Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Took AP Computer Science last year, learned Java, got a 4 on the exam, and then promptly forgot everything past for loops.Also learned C++ freshman year but forgot everything right afterwards.

alpha123 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I do a ton of JavaScript, some Python, Ruby, Scala, and Common Lisp. Hopefully going to move from Scala to OCaml soon, and use Erlang a little more regularly.Functional Programming FTW.

Than the Moa Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) Functional Programming FTW.I cried.Functional programming languages drive me crazy. It's not that I'm bad with them, but the inefficiency of them to do things so integral of Object Oriented languages makes them impractical for most things I do on a day to day basis.

OCaml is often as fast or faster than C++....Oh, you mean in terms of writing code. Really? I find I write functional code considerably faster. Also, OO and FP are not mutually exclusive. Scala is a great example, and has a rich object system and many functional features. OCaml has a lot of OO features. Common Lisp has the wonderful Common Lisp Object System.What in particular is a lot harder to write in a primarily functional language than in a primarily imperative language?

Legolover-361 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I've dabbled in XHTML and CSS (though I've forgotten almost everything about them since then) and touched on JavaScript. I'm planning to start learning a C language in preparation for majoring in Computer Science; I want to break into the video game design field, and if not that, a computer programming field.

Even C#. Java is terribly verbose.

Even C#. Java is terribly verbose.No. Please, I beg of you - learn Python instead. OCaml as a language may be not bad, but Python has far better syntax (IMHO) and 3rd-party library support. Java, on the other hand, is verbose, but compared to languages like OCaml or Scala is far more likely to land you a job if you're an adult (or even if you're a high-school student).

It has great interoperability with Java, and more companies are picking up on it. Twitter uses a lot of Scala.In general I like OCaml's syntax, except for some minor irritations. I'm still at a loss as to why they picked ;; as the expression terminator. OCaml is very compact, even compared to Python, so to me that makes up for the occasional syntax blunder.I do wish more languages would pick up on the indentation thing though. { / } and even do / end are ugly.
