The first machine I ever programmed was an RM Link 480Z. Wrote some pretty simple games and quizzes using BASIC. Probably 1982 or so. I recall one of the first things I learnt was to add "10 ON BREAK GOTO 20" at the start of my program, to be really annoying and make it slightly more difficult for people to break out.0 -

Fortunately I don't have to do much real programming myself, there are others more clever than I for that, I just tell them what I want programmed...1997 Gary Fisher Big Sur

Not a programmer but do work in IT systems / support. Currently just deployed Hyper V into our environment.
Seems my role has moved to MS products (exchange, hyper v, terminal services, windows servers etc) and any hardware issues / projects. Become a bit of a HP hardware master.
Used to dabble in PHP / Perl but not anymore.FCN : 8

I'm not as old as some, not as young as others but I've managed to accumulate a bit over the years: COBOL, DL/1, CICS, MANTIS, IMS, JCL, EARL, REXX, CLIST, PERL, VB (various incarnations), PL/SQL, T-SQL, PHP, JavaScript.1992 Dave Yates Diabolo

Bits of C# and ASP as SharePoint Dev, tend to be able to read enough of most things to think I can understand and tweak.0

I have a Computer Science and Economics degree (mainly C and Java) but thought screw that for a laugh and turned to commercial property instead, so as a chartered surveyor the most I do is a little fettling in VB.0

I'm in a similar position, graduated 2005 but haven't done any real dev work since uni as Dev really is the devils work as far as I'm concerned.
Currently working in a QA/Test role for the company I work for. Doing a bit of Java but mostly working in the companies own proprietary language. (Which is woeful and has no tool support but put on us from the powers that be)
Proprietary languages, if anyone ever mentions one to you just say no! :evil:"I have a plan, a plan so cunning you could stick a tail on it and call it a fox." (from the Blackadder TV series)0 -

Do you really prefer QA / Test over Dev work? :shock:0 -
Perl dev here, I can probably be persuaded to code in other languages as necessary.
But meh, this isn't a CV and I don't feel like listing0 -

Well yeah I do, mostly because my dev skills are weak/I'm not interested in it. Though to be honest I'm not overly interested at QA either. Just trying to find a job I can do with my Computer Science degree that's not Dev/Network Admin/Tech Support."I have a plan, a plan so cunning you could stick a tail on it and call it a fox."
