QBasic

1997–1998

my first venture into programming. not much more than hello world with funky text colours, but then again i was only 10

LOGO

1997–1998

i really enjoyed using this, made the turtle draw a number of vehicles on the screen; probably the 1st time i ever thought like a programmer

Pascal

2003–2004

A level, used this as an introductory language to programming. makes sense given its a teaching language, but with easy to use languages like c# and java around its usefulness is very limited.

VisualBasic

2004–2008

04-05 for a level, creating a simple database app. 08 for 1st year IT course, creating a table tennis scorer. c# is much better.

Delphi

2005

...didn't like it... used vb instead...

Java

2007–

i quite liked using this; easy to understand, lots of resources available to help you, never really gone into gui's with it though

2009–

by far my favourite of all languages; i'm fairly sure this is a common view. easy to use, easy to understand, great fun to program in and can create really good looking programs with ease.

bash

2009–

learnt this last year working with linux console, also tutored it a bit this year. can't say i really see the point of it, but then again i didn't go that far into it...

2009–

used when doing linux console stuff last year. due to competition with another (inferior) student for this and c++ ended up gaining quite a bit of understanding and ability in it.

C++

2009–

awesome language. difficult, yes, but still great fun. i still maintain my c++ programs were better than that of that other person.

PHP

2009–

technically i have not actually used this; i have however, tutored it and wrote stuff in it for hackday which ended up not getting used.

Javascript

2010–

a bit strange but was able to use it effectively enough.
