Re: computer languages
I would have to say none because you can say you are an expert in a subject but then someone comes along and shows you something you haven't seen before and you learn something new.
when you quote a post could you please do it via the "Reply With Quote" button or if it multiple post click the "''+" button then "Reply With Quote" button.

Re: computer languages
Visual Basic and Objective-C. Although, I'm hardly an expert on either.

Foul language. I love Mafia II just for all the Fwords it has got into it. It's hilariously funny when Joe Barbaro unleashes a string of fuzzwords in one of his particularly striking moments.

Re: computer languages
I'm not expert by any measure but I could be rather proficient in:
DOS batch
Assembly (long time ago)
BASIC, Zbasic
LISP, DCL (Autocad flavor)
VB 6
Does body language count?

Re: computer languages
I always wondered about how you do practice them if you know more than one languages?
once when i studied Visual Basic 6.0 in my first semester, now I've completely forgotten how i did it even simple tasks.

Re: computer languages
Seriously if you learnt multiple programming languages and are still in touch with them, the only reason is by working with that language. I started with VB6, FoxPro/Clipper, then again VB6, Delphi, VB.Net and then C#. Today I have forgotten Delphi and Clipper, but I am good at C# because that's what I am using right now, and VB because it's still there in the back of my mind.
Unless I worked with the languages they would rust.

I thought, I am the only one who forgot how to deal with any particular programming language when getting back to it after one year.
so how often do you program?

Re: computer languages
With C# it's every day. With VB, occasionally, though I think I shall go for C# anytime now (purely a matter of habit, you see). With the others, the last time I touched VB6 in active development was like four years back. Same goes for Delphi. FoxPro/Clipper is a distant memory.

Re: computer languages
I've forgotten more languages than I currently know...
Languages I've learned over the years & forgotten: (I've not completely forgotten them, but since they are not ones I use on a regular basis, I doubt I could program my way out of a plastic bag with them)
COBOL, C/C++, Ada, Pascal, ASM, Java
Other languages I've learned:
SQL, PHP, VB, C#
And I know that's not an all-inclusive list... I'm sure there are other languages I'm forgetting.
Other technologies I use:
HTML, XML, CSS

vb6 i know most of them.
vb.net i'm good enough to write progs from scratch.
c# i have to continually hit the reference books.
I also have experience in clipc (in dos), and c++ in windows enough that i can understand what someone else wrote but couldn't possibly write something from scratch.
That's about my knowledge of html as well. I can read it.
I would say my c# knowledge is adequate. I converted a vb6 dx7 game to c# xna in about 3 days.
As for being an expert in any of them, you have to understand that programs are subdivided into areas you work in every day. I can do whatever i wish with disk access (i wrote a sector editor in qbasic) and graphics, but don't expect me to be able to connect to a database.
I've been getting rusty lately due to lack of time to keep up. I would like to port a collapse-clone to android, but the skills aren't strong enough.

Re: computer languages
I know Visual Basic(.NET 2003 to 2010) better than I know any other computer language but I am by no means an expert in it. I was just looking at a wikipedia article on the english language and it says, "The Oxford English Dictionary lists over 250,000 distinct words, not including many technical or slang terms, or words that belong to multiple word classes." I was wondering how many different "words" or commands there are in Visual Basic.NET. That may be sort of hard to define I suppose. There are so many statements that are combinations like for instance when you use "." to define something.
Code:
ComboBox1.Text = ComboBox1.Items.Item(0).ToString
Make as many mistakes as you can as quickly as you can. We want to make sure that we make a great enough number of mistakes in a given amount of time so that we can be successful.

I can infer from your posts, you have vast knowledge of programming. Really I would say I want to be programmer like you, like Lord Orwell, jmcilhinney e.t.c if i continue it. But i wonder how you elaborate anything to users here, i think you do program all day that's how you are expert in that. Is it? and you are professionally programmer?
what you'll say Lord Orwell and EntityX?

Re: computer languages
How you programmers do program anything when after trying couple of times and still don't get the work done?
What was your experience when you first started programming and made a asterik triangle? (Was that seemed difficult for you)

I started to write a reply to that... and realized it's not so simple answer. The short version is that I've been doing programming for about 30 years now. I'm at the point where seeing the code to a problem is like breathing. It just comes naturally. You know, how in the movies and on TV, they show people that can "See" connections between people, or energies, or auras or things like that? that's how I am with code sometimes. I just "see" it. Not always, but sometimes.
For me, it's always come somewhat easily to me.
30 years ago, how was it for me just starting out? A lot different than it would be for me if I were starting out today. Back then, there was no internet. All I had were stacks of PC World magazine (or a couple of others) and the User Guide ... that was it. No forums (heck, this was even before Prodigy or AOL!), no internet, nada. So if I had a problem, I had to work through it. Or grab someone smarter than me and ask.
I learned by doing... making games. Writing logic puzzles. I built a yearbook sales tracker system for my high school my senior year. Not only did it allow us to track sales, but then at the end of the year, break the list up evenly so that it allowed for smooth operation in handing out the books.
I'm not sure I'd call myself an "expert" in VB... advanced perhaps... but there are still large amounts of things in VB I know nothing about. There's a reason I don't hang out in the graphics section of the forum.

i mentioned that i am getting rusty. I spend about 1/2 my free time working on hardware projects, so even though i have a few projects i'm tinkering with, i don't seem to be getting the programming done. I've been taking a brain vacation to finish up some video games i have in preparation for the sequel releases (specifically fear 3, and skyrim) although i have waaaay more wii games due to the modded nature of my wii (hard drive attached by usb with my games ripped to it) and it's actually my major project right now. I just had to rme the hard drive (again... 3rd time) but there are some tricks i wasn't aware of i just found out. For example it's possible to back up your internal memory to the hard drive, and run the virtual console games from that, freeing up your wii memory! I will be doing this because i have 3 games large enough by themselves to nearly fill the memory up.
my current programming projects include an xna snake game (new version), a 10ft interface for launching programs (barely started), and i project i've been tinkering with for a while now to control my tivo through telnet. The hardest part there was actually finding the tivo.
