What flavor of programmers are out there?
 

Beings I'm newer, and haven't had too much of a chance to interact a whole lot with everyone, I was kind of curious as to what kinds of programmers frequented the TFP forum here.

For me, I started out pretty hardcore PHP/Javascript for web, and C++ was my language of choice for client based apps. That changed when I got a couple contracts that were dotNet based solutions, so basically for the last 2 years I've been working almost completely in C# < insert M$ whore comments here >

So what are you?

For my dayjob I am a Delphi developer. I started out with Pascal years back, and then jumped into Delphi about 6 years ago.

I just started picking up on C++ and C# recently.

I'm a web developer. I started working in Perl in '98, and went from being Web Developer to being Executive VP of one of the leading web development firms in the country. Then the bubble burst. I've been working for myself since '04, and everything I've done since I went independent was in PHP. I've just recently started working in Ruby on Rails.

C++ programmer to be, finishing computer science program at uni now. I also do some bash scripting *cough* http://bashburn.sf.net *cough* when the mood strikes.

I've been doing C++ development professionally for almost 10 years now.

I thought you meant types as in code-fix, cowboy, big-design, etc : )

But anyways... most of my work is with data warehousing projects (ie DW/BI/ETL), Oracle DB administration, SQL and (Oracle) PLSQL back-end coding/design.

I've occasionally used VB, C, Java, SQL Server and Perl. Where I need file handling though, I usually use Korn shell.

I've done C/C++ for many years. Since moving to Iceland, in the last 6 months, I've been working on websites using C# and ASP.NET.

Depending on the day of the week, C, C++ or Java, for large HPC (supercomputer) systems software development. I also do a tiny bit of FORTRAN programming if I need to test something that relies on FORTRAN.

i did goofy donkey kong games in basic on my ibm-pc twenty years ago. :.[

Basic C++ and Perl here, (mostly when I ran a MUD ages ago for the C++). I don't do anything professionally, but I do well enough when I need to cobble something together.

I'm a CS student in my senior year right now, and I mainly use Java and C++, but I'm taking a class in Smalltalk and learning PHP and Perl on my own.

At work, my day-job, I use delegation ;)
At home, and my freelance stuff, are currently in Ruby

At work, c# (asp.net/webservices/windows services) with MSSQL 2000/2005. Personal and side projects range from c# (again asp.net/webservices/windows services) to php to perl using MSSQL or MySQL.

At work I code mostly Clarion for Windows, and some C#.

Too seldom I code some PHP on my spare time.

I use C# and Java. Bit of Python and this weird system called EPICS, which isn't really programming!

Perl, PHP guy here.
