Hey baby, what's your language?

Hey baby, how you doin'?  Code here often?  What's YOUR language?

Ok, stop the eye rolling.  I wanted to take a second to talk about computer languages.  They're a lot like actual languages, except I can seem to actually learn them.  There are mainframe languages like Cobol and Fortran.  Then there are web-based languages like PHP and ASP classic.  Sometimes there are interface driven languages, like objectiveC's IOS interface kit. Then you have compiled languages like Java or C++.  Then again, lots of Java programs are used on the web, so wouldn't that make them web-based languages?  And I know that on Salesforce they use Apex which is edited and tested on their website, obviously a web-based language, but it's based in Java and you can "recompile" if you need, which means it's compiled...

Ok wait, i'm getting dizzy.  Here's the basics of just about all of it.  If you can code, you can code.  I don't care what languages you have experience with.  I was once hired for a PHP job because of my ASP classic experience, and within six months I was taking turns at being "lead developer".  Coding is coding, all that changes is the syntax.  If you know how to write solid code, you can learn to write solid code in any language pretty darn fast.

Yeah, that's like saying that German is like French, all that changes are the words.  Well it's really true, but instead of having thousands of words, there are hundreds of commands, and no one's gonna be waiting for you to type "fluently," just look that shit up.

So leave me a comment, are you a coder, scripter, developer, engineer, lackey?  Let's hear what you use, or where you learned it. We're a community, so let's share resources, literally.
