what do you know?

Yeah Delphi, what i code in now, is also portable for linux very easily which is very good.
More and more people seem to be using linux over windows now.
You need to know a little more about computers in general to use linux though, windows is a lot more user friendly.
If i ever get the time i will be splitting a hard disk to install linux fully and will have windows and linux on the one disk.

Am I right in saying the linux compiler is called Kylix?

 

[BlackStorm]

Yes it is
I havent used that but you can port the code from the windows version of Delphi.
Considering splitting my hard disk in the next few weeks to put linux on so I can try out a few of the programs, including kylix

Any idea which copy of Linux you will be running?

We have suSe Linux which isn't bad, I've always wanted to try Mandrake to see what that is like too.

Getting back to the original question, I know HTML and that's about it. I'm crap at grasping new concepts so I just stick to what I'm good at.

PS: If you know what I'm good at please say so 'cus I have no bloody idea lmao.

I have been doing web development on my free time for about 7 years now. I only just started it as a profession about 2 years ago.

I started off Learning the basics of HTML. By saying learning I mean like good ole notepad and my head. No GUI designers like Dreamweaver, Homesite etc. After I got that down... I allowed myself to use Dreamweaver. I think its important to understand the code before you start using it. Which is why I learn everything the hard way... writing it out.

After HTML I decided to tackle javascript, shtml, flash (Still not good at these... but know enough to get a few things done).

More recently I have been working with Visual Basic 6.0 and PHP. Mainly because I am working on developing my own software for the business. That way I have what I want... not what someone else made I and get stuck using. So far I've made an online calculator for quoting people new computers or web hosting. Ive also made an accessibile database of my clients. So when I receive a support call I can get their information from wherever I am.

Right now Im working on a lot of mysql / Php work. I also have a large VB Project on my hands as well.

Its fun to learn a little about each language.... its amazing how good some people are at them. I would consider myself an average user. Nothing close to where I want to be.... but time and studying will fix that.

once you know c++ the rest is easy to learn. If you know basic, c++ will be easy to learn. I know a little bit of everything I guess... New up and coming language that will be replacing c++ is java :\

Thought I'd add my languages :

C/C++ (certified)
Java
PHP
COBOL

C/C++ code isn't "portable". If you have to recompile it, then its not portable Java, which runs in its own VM -- is portable because the "compiled" code can be run without modification.

And as far as Linux goes, I run nothing but Gentoo
