I program mainly in Squeak (a portable Smalltalk-80 implementation).

Just so you know, since you are new and all, that blue text is a link.

Lets see here.... Java,c++,c,html, javascript, and am learning cocoa at this time.

While on PC I do java, and c++ and those are just for my comp sci class.

And these emoticons are cool  . And evil  .

------------------------------------------------------------------------I do moslty Java, C, MC68HC11 ASM, Perl and VHDL(the latter not on my mac though). I have done Webobjects, Objective-C, C++, Smalltalk, Basic PHP, Pascal, and Applescript too, but im not currently working with those languages.

I'm pretty computer-savvy and would like to learn even more programming languages.  Applescript will be my next.  In your opinion, is it easy to learn?  What have you made with it?  My cousin made his iMac say "Hello" when it opened in the begginning.  Which is pretty nice.   

I'd say d/l the developer tools from apple and learn either c or java.

Some might argue C++,  but im in the train of thought that believes that its better to learn C before you learn C++,  and thats its better to learn a true Object Oriented language and not a partial one,  and I simply don't know enough smalltalk to pimp it.  If you are interested in java,  just d/l the developer tools from apple here (free w/ sign up) and then steal instructions from a school.  Like mine here  just go though the slides and then you should have a good base.

If you want to learn c get the "Big C book" aka "the old testament"    pictured here

Javascript is based on java.  Just something simple you learn along the way of Webdesign.  It's closer to a language than HTML.  By the way, what University do you attend?  Simon Frasier University?  BCIT?  Those are both pretty good schools for computers.  I took a course on computers at BCIT when I was 12.

Your school should HAVE taught you how to use English properly.

I was actually doing some vernacular writing.  Since you insist I do formal, from now on, whatever you write.  I will correct. The worst thing a person can choose to do is correct my english.  It's just not smart, as I will torment the person's grammar and conjunctions till he/she never comes back to the messageboard again.

Just something simple you learn along the way of Webdesign.

That's a fragment, and I don't think Webdesign is a word, nor should it be capitalized.

I will correct.

That's a fragment,too.

I live in the states right now.  I will eventually have to move back to Canada.  Not to many elite Universities there anymore, but none are completely bad.  They are all average to above average. 

I'm hoping a can go to Caltech or M.I.T. by working my ass off even more than I already am.  Isn't Victoria University building a new medical wing?

Javascript is based on java. 

Nope,  javascript was just netscape trying to cash in the java name.  No relation as java was developed by sun.

It's original naem was Rhinoscript or something.  Simply looking at ANY aspect of javascript and java will show the only thing they have in common is their name.

Javascript is based on java.  Just something simple you learn along the way of Webdesign.  It's closer to a language than HTML.

This is true considering that HTML is not a programming language, thus ANY programming language is closer to Java than HTML.

I don't really consider javascript a true programming language either, if you get nitpicky and call it a scripting language.

Isn't Victoria University building a new medical wing?

That and a new engineering classroom building to go with our current lab and office buildings.  That is if they can get rid of the hippies that are currently living in a tree protesting the fact that to make room for these two new building the school is going to cut down 20 some odd trees.  Thats right,  we have people living in trees for what is going on a month now to protest the school actually making use of the tuition hike.

I don't think you guys read the magazine, do you?  Come on, its Max.

I have no idea what you mean by this who's max?
