Languages I’ve learned in order
This is a list of the languages I’ve learned over the years in order. Starting with what I first learnt and going by when I started, not when I became ‘good.’ I’m not that competent with a lot of these now (particularly the first 4) but its interesting to see the Path I’ve taken along the way.
- BASIC
- Pascal
- Visual Basic 6
- Perl
- C++
- Java
- PHP
- C#
- JavaScript
- Python
What does your list look like?
UPDATE Oops, forgot BASIC. The good old days using a BBC computer!
This idea was stolen from a post I read on Planet Python, I can’t find it to link back so if it was you or you have seen it, let me know. This idea for this post was ‘borrowed’ from here as originally posted by Corey Goldberg

What is worth learning new languages is, that you learn new programming concepts, learn new way of thinking, to see problem from other point of view, and come up with better solutions. And there not such a thing as one true programming paradigm.

@Ramūnas Gutkovas;
I couldn’t agree with you more. Learning new languages and branching out is one of the best ways to become a better programmer. It’s something I am trying to do as much as possible but finding the time can be difficult. I’ve not even heard of some of the languages you have tried…
I do however try to keep to languages that will help me in the work place. I don’t want to learn something that I will then have no use for… (besides the knowledge gained)
September 30th, 2008 at 12:14 am
C (1994)

Thankfully I forgot PHP nearly as quick as I learned it.

Well I think the award for longest list must go to ik_5… although I hope you realise we are listing the languages we *know* not that languages we have heard of
Besides, you cheated a bit with all the different SQL’s… at the end of the day they are very similar and if your listing them as separate perhaps different versions of languages should be listed too? PHP4 is quite different from PHP5, particularly if you use more a more OO style. I’m sure Python 1 is quite different from Python as we know it now (I didn’t know Python before version 2.4 but I’m sure you get my point.)
