List of Languages I have coded in …

by Ron Bieber on Monday, May 22, 2006

Tom the Architect’s latest posting details a list of languages he has coded in. I thought this would be a pretty interesting exercise, so thought I would throw one together as well:

  1. BASIC (quite a few flavors from old school CP/M up to Windows)
  2. xBase
  3. DataFlex
  4. C
  5. C++
  6. x86 Assembler (light, but still counting it)
  7. Pascal (Turbo / Quick)
  8. Unix Shell (BASH. KSH, etc)
  9. Java
  10. JavaScript (light, but I think it still counts)
  11. Perl
  12. Python
  13. PHP
  14. Ruby

You know what? That wasn’t a very interesting exercise. Thanks a lot Tom …

Ruby on Rails – WOW

May 7, 2006

Over the last couple of weeks I decided to re-familiarize myself with the Ruby programming language. I was first introduced to it back in 2002-2003 at OOPSLA (or was it the Software Development Conference?) when I took a full day workshop with the Pragmatic Programmers, Dave Thomas and Andy Hunt.
Back then I [...]
