Self learnt programs...

[theblackalchemist]

How many languages ( of the computer kind) have you gained knowledge of by your-self without any coaching or similar sort, by hit and trial or by the manual kind?

 

vote the no and post the languages here :)

 

oh and typesetting systems are allowed

 

an example is [math]\text{LATEX}[/math] which is used here in HypoG.

bno classes allowed though :naughty: Use of [math]\text{LATEX}[/math] here does not count :)

Currently, i have a few in my belt.

One. The only thing I've taught myself was TEX.

I learned Java, HTML, and C++ in high school comp classes though.

 

A Note On: Having no time to teach yourself languages at home.

The poll is slightly difficult if the requirement is that it needs compilation...not all program languages use compilers, markup languages in particlar. Editing in Notepad or similar program is also a limitation...I remember learning Z80 assembly on my ZX Spectrum in 1984 and there was no concept of anything but an input program and the use of BASIC to execute it. :eek_big:

 

My list is short...

 

Programming:

BASIC

Z80 assembly code

8080 assembly code

Pascal

 

Web coding:

ColdFusion

HTML/CSS/XML

PHP

(Some ASP)

 

What about Actionscript...?

Well interpreting the definition myself I consider a computer language also coding in Maple so my list is:

 

- Maple

- Matlab

- Mathematica (learning it now)

- C++

- Fortran

- Latex

- xml (only really basics)

- sm (=supermongo a plotting language, like gnuplot)

- idl
