I'd be curious to know what other languages the people here use and why and what for
CMD and bash because a lot more can be done from the command line than most people realize. PHP for web sites and lots and lots of packaged software (phpMyAdmin, Joomla, Xaraya, more). Older (PHP4 or earlier) PHP is like FoxBase for web sites, crude but effective. PHP5 can be OO, but the community has a lot of maturing to do. Perl for lots and lots of packages, but to maintain, not to write. Python because it's VFP-like in syntax and philosophy. Scripts, rich client apps and web apps -- looks like it can do it all. Javascript for richer web apps, but not AJAX until generation 2 or 3. The MLs: HTML, XHTML, XML, XML CSS, which isn't really a language as much as a syntax. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
