Your "experience"

[pcbrainbuster]

Well hello all ,

I have just created this new thread to see how much EXP everyone has with scripts/programming languages/......

I will obviously start -

html/javascript/css(still workin on it) = about half a year
php/c++/java = Going to start some day
Anything else = not yet planned

[mburt]

JavaScript took me the longest, me being stubborn and trying to learn it without first getting the basics of HTML. After that, everything else only took me about a week or so to get the hang of.
PHP: about two weeks
Java: still learning, but haven't really tried
JavaScript: took me about a month and a half

I know all (or most) of the extensions of html as well: css, xml, etc.
Lately I've been getting into Ruby/Python/Perl. I can't remember the other ones as of now.
Most web-programming languages are fairly similar, so once you get one, the others are easy. Computer programming is where the differences start. Try C++, or Win32 API. They're nearly impossible to get the hang of without reading, reading and reading tutorials, you can't skim! . Anyways, what I was saying. Most languages come easier after the first one.

Erm... I can't remember

I started HTML around nine/ten years ago, which was my first experience of such things, but I've no idea about everything else.

For html/css/xml, not sure but I setup my freewebs account about a year ago, and started using PHP sometime in the summer. some dabbling with JS the past couple months.
Im an expert web designer compared to normal people, but only average when compared to people who know what html is.

I started with, um what was the question? Ah yes, I started with:

......

at birth (if not earlier - depends upon your POV), didn't we all?

I think batch programming was my first computer language. I spent a lot of time with BBS's which were the forerunner for many to the internet. Isn't there already a thread on this somewhere?

HTML - just call me king :P (been at it for around 5 years)
Javascript - terrible, been at it about a month
PHP - Ok, always screw up coding somewhere but i understand it, 2 weeks
C++ - Never attempted it
Mysql - Ok, kind of hard to get PHP to write and store info, 2 weeks

own a few sites, but kalrith has the most potentional

Wow never realized how good ALL of you are -

Now lets change the subject by a little...
I now hope that we all now discuss when we actually got the hang at the script/.... (the understanding of the syntax and stuff like that)

html = can't remember but very easy

javascript = About a month or so (But before i understood it i felt like i am going to have a heart attack when ever i cam accross it)

php = need work...

css = VERY, VERY easy got used to the syntax and everything in one day (its just hard to remember all the "affects (eg text-transform)" you can achieve)

[mburt]

Just so you know, CSS isn't a web-programming language, just an implementation of HTML.

[pcbrainbuster]

Well i know that but it still counts as something different from html which is why i put it there.

[mburt]

Lol... I suppose it counts.
