iceangel89 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 i see more and more ppl here labeled as software developers, and was wondering what language do they use?stuff like nLite, XPize and others? then in the industry, what language is most used?just wondering... still schooling, and wondering what language should i be learning next time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innocent Devil Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Lang:for communication most probably English for coding depends on the need, C# for front end app, ASM or CPP for direct h/w interfacing etc.etc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Controller Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 VB6: beginners, RADc++: compatibilityasm: no limits...I personally use VB6 due best debugging and internal unicode support (for apps that use either Ansi or unicode! note VB6 controls don't support unicode so you have to use API), PureBasic for dlls and some apps (as c++ replacement, cause couldn't get any c++ to compile simple app with icon resource), and asm for patching software, sniplets (eg decompression routine for VB6) and my shell32.dll project (don't know any c++ can export functions by ordinal only?)For best windows (95+) compatibility use anything not requiring special runtime files (best not even msvcrt.dll because not present on Win95 after fresh installation) - especially not requiring .NET (framework) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceangel89 Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 so it seems C programming and ASM are used widely... ASM u guys mean from http://asm.objectweb.org/? nv heard of that b4 ... but from there it seems to be java, or made from java? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCobra Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Most of the developers I know use C/C++. Me personally, I code exclusively in assembly language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camarade_Tux Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 i see more and more ppl here labeled as software developers, and was wondering what language do they use?stuff like nLite, XPize and others? then in the industry, what language is most used?just wondering... still schooling, and wondering what language should i be learning next timenLite and XPize are probably C# .Net. I'm sure they use .net but not they are coded in C# though..Net main's advantage is use of creating graphical interfaces under windows but it requires .net framework.Btw, long live F#.

Team929 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 (edited) I'm mainly VB.net, C# to a lesser degree but recently, i see far more .net positions than anything else (C++, C, Java, etc.) but that may be because I'm in my own little world. Breaking down the .net world, it looks like 4:1 in favor of C# over VB. That's the ratio I get after looking through a quite of bit of job postings these past few weeks, even though all the .net languages are pretty much the same thing!

cluberti Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I used to do mainly C/C++, but I've branched a bit into learning java, scripting languages, and asp and asp.net. I've done VB in the past as well, but not anymore.I guess the short answer is "whatever the dev is comfortable with" . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I guess the short answer is "whatever the dev is comfortable with" .And whatever the system that's running the code can support. I've written code in a few languages (C/C++, C#, PHP, Java, Perl, Python, Matlab, etc), but at times, I've needed to move from one to the other because of the system that we're running on. Writing cross-platform code takes longer, and sometimes just isn't worth the effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damian666 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 well, i dont know if you can really call it a language...but i code everything in autoit it is a scripting language i think so...Damian666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awergh Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 ive mostly written stuff in VB6 but im finally learning C++ properly rather then getting distracted by something and not learning it properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
