Started approx 10 years ago with html, moving from that to perl/php then branching into c/c++/java/python.

Guys, HTML is not coding!

A definition of coding:
:p
Anyway, I also know some crappy Java and C++. And Blind Guardian, a member here, is the guy who got me into coding (see meh previous post), though I've never really talked to him.

Technically no as it doesnt have logic/procedures etc... but it is a loosly typed syntax which is parsed to display data on the screen ;)

So is it a programming language? No.. is it coding? Yes.

I started in 1980 - programming in basic on an Apple. Picked up Pascal in 1991 in college, moved on to C and C++ in the mid 90's - also for school. Started with Perl when I bought UBB 6 years ago, and PHP when I bought Vbulletin 5 years ago.

Most of my programming has been non-web stuff. Software for radars and encrypted phones, applications for handheld pcs used in the field by exterminators, etc. So, I don't have a huge depth of web programming or database knowledge.

I don't even remember, a few years back with HTML and I learned a bit of CGI/Perl/whatever you want to call it but thats all really, never expanded to PHP (did a bit and gave up) and now I have no time or need to learn anything else. :p

Actually, it's a presentation language. Or markup as it's called.

Thats pretty much what I said Gandalf ;)

Quotes myself:
"but it is a loosly typed syntax which is parsed to display data on the screen"

And no, it isnt a programming language as I stated, but it is coding ;)

Around a year and a half ago (though I really didn't start learning anything until a year ago).

lmao! I can't believe I done that... I even checked the date again before I posted... one of them moments I guess :p
