2007–
Learned to program with PHP. It some ways this has hurt me. But the fact that I could actually use even ultra simple programs I made is probably what got me to stick with programming.
2008–2009
CS 161-162 taught with Java.
2008–
My often abused friend and the second language I learned. Taught me how to effectively use object oriented concepts (that it's not just a bag of functions) and undid a lot of the damage the PHP ingrained in me. I actually use it where a lot of people would use Bash since I have access to every tool I need in the standard library and don't have to know AWK, and SED, whatever else to do what I want.
2009–
Mostly experience with languages based on C, but some raw C experience as well. I practically count the CS 163 (Data Structures) course that I took as C experience, even though it was taught with C++, as we basically used it as "C with classes".
2009–
Honestly I can't say if I "know" JavaScript or not. I think it's similar to what I've heard about Scheme in that you can just do /so/ much with it because of the way that it's structured. Even though I've found one approach that works for me I still don't understand all the different ways that you can apply it.
2010–
I have around 4 total months experience in C++ and probably know less than 1/10 of the language and how to use it.
I've worked with it for a week or so. It's almost identical to JavaScript in practice.
I barely know bash, mostly because the environment where it's used seems to demand fairly in depth knowledge of so many different tools to be effective.
Spent two months learning. Couldn't afford a legal Mac machine. GNU Step sucks in practice. I loved it but have no practical use for it at the moment.
