      Is this just how many I know ABOUT? because I'm pretty sure no sane person programs in Brainfuck at all. Are you sure you actually have expertise in those languages, or you have just made a single applet, or compiled a single program with them?

      BTW, PHP SQL, HTML, XML, etc. Are not programming languages.

      I happen to know that MSG only 'programs' with PHP. Judge his sanity for yourselves:

      I program in PHP and have you noticed that Invision Board, phpBB, SMF and lots of other sites use PHP.

      From the internet itself (if it's on the internet, it MUST be true):

      ...Visual Basic currently competes with PHP and C++ as the third most popular programming language behind Java and C.[/b]

      OK, let us say that to be considered a programming languages, It must possess variables. What would C++ be without variables? It would be almost as useless as MSG's attempt at a post.

      HTML, XML, and mySQL don't use variables. I don't know about Spin and Lua, but I'm too lazy to look it up.

      I never said HTML, XML, and mySQL were programming languages. HTML and XML are markup languages (it's in the name), and mySQL is just a dump where you can store data. By the way, whatever happened to "php isn't a programming language"?

      stop being so elitist
      any human-readable text that is used to control the operation of a machine is a programming language

      whether that be compiled, interpreted or scripted

      anyway

      php, sql, C & C++ are te only ones I can do anything useful with

      I don't feel that "knowing" the syntax of a language is knowing anything. It's way too easy to learn PHP, C++ or pretty much any language's syntax and still have absolutely no idea on how to program anything useful in them or the underlying concepts behind them of variables, classes, encapsulation whatever.

      I'm pretty sure if I thought a bit, I could name 20 languages that I "know", but I can only do anything useful in about six of them maybe?
      • C++. I learnt the syntax to this when I was about eleven, but, like I said, I had absolutely no idea what to do with it. I could make a thumpin' good "Hello World" program, though. Now it's my favourite language. I don't entirely understand why people say it's hard or why they get the hots over alternative languages (I mean, come on, pointers aren't that complicated to understand) but such is life.
      • PHP. The documentation for this language is absolutely outstanding and it didn't take long to learn and actually use for a good purpose at all. Not to mention the syntax is quite a lot like C++'s, and I think one of the main reasons I'd recommend it to someone who wants to get into programming is because there's no strict type checking. $myVariable can be a string, integer and anything else all at once. Yeah that can make problems, but it works for most purposes.
      • SQL. This isn't really a language at all, more a bunch of keywords, but that wouldn't stop me from listing it somewhere on my hypothetical CV. That and SQL is so useful hand in hand with PHP. There's bindings for C++, but I don't feel that it has a place in languages like that.
      • HTML/CSS/JavaScript. I combine all three of these because I feel it's a little dumb to count them all separately. You can't make very good HTML without using CSS, and your site is a lot like cardboard these days unless you use Javascript with it all. Either way, I learned how to use this ages ago, CSS is the greatest thing on the planet and I seriously will never understand why so many sites still use tables. The freaks.
      I've missed off "languages" like XML and the like. I know those, they're useful, but you don't make applications out of them and they honestly don't take long to learn at all.

      Languages I have never looked at include Visual Basic (ha-ha), Java and Ruby. Countless others, probably. I have seen a little of Perl. I might like to look at LISP in the future and perhaps assembly which, while almost entirely useless in today's whimsical world of abstraction and building castles in our heads*, would be fun background knowledge. C# is up for a definite fool around with in the future, being as everyone swoons over .NET (and I'd really like to know why).

      EDIT: I just read the posts before me more closely. What the? PHP is a programming language. HTML is more of a markup language, but still has a few vestiges of programming concepts (which is why I would feel someone making a big deal out of it would be scraping the barrel).

      * Anyone read "The Mythical Man Month"? Then you are not a real programmer, son!

      my "real languages" that I can do something with are:

      1. C

      2. AS

      3. Haskel (An uber-efficient, Fully functional (That means NO variables and NO if loops among others) language. Its really crazy yet quite fun and I suggest any programmer that is looking for new opertunities/chalenges/is bored with conventional x += 5 to try it =P)

      4. VB

      Python - my favorite language

      Java - I know the syntax and am comfortable with a few APIs (I/O and Swing come to mind), but I don't have much experience with the language (no more than a year)

      C++ - I know the syntax, but I have almost no experience with the language. I find Python (in conjunction with the Psyco JIT compiler) performs well enough for everything I've needed so far and is certainly more productive. That being said, C++ is a great language and I intend to give it a go in a few years.

      Perl, Bourne, and Bash - just for simple scripts

      AppleScript and Objective-C (w/ Cocoa) - very little

      XHTML/CSS/JavaScript/XML/XSTL/etc. - I wouldn't consider them programming languages, but I know the basics of them.

      Lisp - I want to learn someday. Or maybe I'll just leave that to RMS ...

      As previously stated, it doesn't matter how many languages you know, it's how effective you are with those that you do know. Having no formal training and not having studied much production code, I consider myself a relative beginner in programming. However, I have a lot of general computer knowledge (primarily on Mac OS X and certain Linux distros).

      No, I was agreeing with Pyrofan1 that I meant machine code (which is represented in binary). 00000001 in binary is the same as 1 in decimal which is the "yes" value for a bit (a single binary digit). I admit it was a stretch. I should have responded with the ASCII code for the string "yes" in binary:

      01111001
      01000101
      01110011

      And i replied with 00000000 which is false or "no" in binary =P

      You need some studying to do young'un
