Any other Programmers on here? I'm a C++/C#/ASP.net/PHP programmer primarily. I enjoy web based stuff mainly but do dabble in some other areas too. I have a blog http://blog.mat-lawrence.co.uk/ where I talk about anything that interests me....... don't know if it interests anybody else tho! Matt

Cool, dBase! Straight from the 80's eh?  I have a copy of VS 2010 waiting to be installed, but I'm waiting till I've rebuilt my Windows Server 2008 before I do that. How are you finding it? I'm really enjoying Powershell 2.0 at the moment, it's so powerful! Especially now with the ISE. Matt

Matt Matt: I made a very good living from the mid 80's until the late 90's writing Clipper code after moving from dBASE. I like VS2010 but it is slower then VS2008. I was talking to some Microsoft MVP's about this and they said you should have seen the beta versions. Also, VS2010 is basically a 1.0 product. It's a complete rewrite. If you are doing Silverlight or WPF, the designer is MUCH improved. My .NET users group have a speaker on Powershell a week ago. Seems very good but I'm not sure were I would use it. Dale

Hi I'm a geek programmer too. Well, at least this is part of what I make for a living. I know a bit of php, and I use primarily what we call an "atelier de génie logiciel" which can translate as "software engineering workshop" - as you can notice, I'm not very familiar with english terms.

Ah yes, COBOL. I learned COBOL in college back in the day. I was in one of the last classes that learned COBOL. They were just starting to teach C at that time. I never programmed in COBOL but I remembered enough to read the code when converting old COBOL into Clipper.
As a note, I have a good friend that still earns a nice living as an RPG programmer/consultant.

Wow! Of course, you would have a hard job finding two of them. My first job out of school was COBOL (during school I had earned a few buck with APL); and then again for a few years with Y2K work.

I programed specturm basic back in the day, had tonnes of books that i copyed the programmes out of by rote. I understood why they did what they did a lot of the time.
When i got older i thought about trying to do some C++ i have a pile of books under my desk right now of C++ and Java 2 but I dont know where to start what compilers to get that arnt full of confusing gubbins or come with a nice straight foward guide to usage on how to use it.
If someone out there with far more experience than i could make a recomendation that would be fantastic.
Take care Brian.

Depends on what you want to do with it, but for general home and hobby Java using Eclipse is about as good a combination of price (free) and support (lots of that free too) as you can get. If you want to twiddle bits, then C++ is still it. I earn my living by C++ occasionally, but a lot more Java work toddles through these days.
