Programming

[IncompleteDude]

So, anyone like programming? If so, what flavour? C++, VB, Java, C#, Haskell?

If you like programming, what kind of projects are you working on? Are you interested in doing a group project? Any areas of study you want to educate yourself in?

Personally, I like C++ and I'm currently trying to write my own programming language. It's very hard, but that's partly because I'm very picky about how it's structured. I also enjoy studying graphics, metaprogramming and physics.

Sure, I program all the time. (Actually, I happen to hold a CS degree). Personally I tend to use C, C++, and Python, though have worked with a number of others.

If you're looking to create your own language I'd recommend reading the Dragon Book.

Learning Java and Python right now.

Defining objects and classes in Java is a b!tch.

 

[chevre]

Yes, I'd agree. I've had to use Java a number of times, and really I find it kind of clunky. But, Python rocks. If you have the choice, use python :twocents:.

Python is a side project, im learning Java for computer science at school.

I do some little programming sometimes... most of it in VB (sometimes even QuickBasic lol!), if you count in webprogramming, I also do PHP and CSS

 

[Martin]

Yep, I do quite a bit now especially. Atom Basic...

But also a lot of other stuff. (VB, PHP, Ti-Basic, bit of JScript/JavaScript)

And I'm busy with a project of my own right now.

Well I've always wanted to do a bit of programming, but I've never really got round to it. I did try some javascript once, but I never put much effort into learning it and forgot most of it.

Some of the universities I wanna go to let you do modules from other subjects in the first and second years, so I might do that a study computer science for a bit.

Cool, I'm downloading a copy of it now. The second edition, that is.

Now I don't have a CS degree, and likely won't get one, but I do hope to give myself an equivalent education.

I know C/C++, and some perl... I need to learn java at some point. Also would like to learn python.

 

[Peachy]

Once upon a time I was quite good in Turbo Pascal. *looks around* Anyone old enough to remember that? Nobody?

I know pretty much a little of python and a little of PHP. But nothing else really. I got two books on those that I have just started to read. At the moment I am spending my time studying for my A-levels. To get the grades to get taught C, Python, Assembly and all sorts of other useful languages.

But Common, Assembly is where it is at!

As for Turbo Pascal Peachy? I have heard of it. But have no idea what it does. E.g. Interpreted etc...

I am currently learning how to program with BlitzPlus, a form of BASIC.

I think the physics teacher at my school coded in that,,,,in the 80's

I've had the most experience with C++, C#, C++\CLR, Boo, Javascript and GLSL and Cg. I've dabbled around with JRuby and Actionscript, and a while ago I was a big ColdFusion geek. I can pretty much learn any language in a few hours though, C++ will do that to you.

RIght now I'm working on a multi-threaded game engine that uses ORGE and the XNA in some C# but mostly C++\CLR (.NET), and uses Boo (.NET) as the scripting language.

A group project would be awesome. I have experience writing compilers, so if you're interested in designing a new language with some help I'm game. I have way too much free time.

HTML, JavaScript, BASIC and CASIO Calculator.

 

[Point]

Lulz. Calculator programs ftw!

All I know is HTML. D:

That's really cool, and you're only 17! I'm impressed.

That's cool, maybe you can help me with my language. I think my biggest problem is that my approach is kind of doing it the very hard way. Maybe you can offer some insight. We should chat.

 

[chevre]

Well, have you come up with a CFG for your language yet? I'd think that would be the first step really. If you post a BNF I'll tell you what I think.

Edit:

As an example, you can find a BNF for C here : http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~pjj/bnf/c_syntax.bnf

Maybe this isn't the right way to be doing this, but I'm writing my type system first, language sytnax second. I want a very rich type and type analysis system before I decide on the syntax to best serve that system.
