I really couldn't tell you what to learn, the market is so fickle and I'm out of touch. I work mostly in networking these days. Obsolete languagest tend to pay more because its harder to find someone that knows them. And of course there is alsways disagreement​ on what is the latest and greatest.

ahhh so my era is a lucky period, I can't imagine if I would have to do that when I was in school. I would be screwed! :D There's tons of GUI application,​ like wordpress. Joomla, last time it's such a chore to maintain coding and contents together! Now, even a person doesn't know coding, can maintain a website easily.

How bout learning programming,​ what would you advice me if I would wish to pick up PHP & MySQL or even some other languages?

One of the first programs I wrote from scratch was written directly from a command line, had to have a number at the beginning of every line as a segnator to keep the program structured, and the 16 bit color graphics were large and blocky and each "block"​ had to be individually​ plotted.

With modern visual programing you can just click, drag and drop to create an interface, and the compiler can tell you exactly where you made an error, sometimes as soon as you typed it.

Less code, more features, better error correction. Programming has gotten simpler in many ways. However, the more you can do, the more you have to know how to do. In the early days it was more an issue of how to do what you wanted to do with the options you had, now it less a question of if you can do it, but if you know how to do it.

That's very interesting,​ if you don't mind. I believe you won't mind if I request that ;) )

could you tell me what are changes since you start programming till now. Like over the years, is it better GUI programs help to write the codes. Easier or harder in different aspects etc.

I'm really curious about it. Because I didn't ask that when I was in school.

Thanks in advance!

Thaks for visiting my profile.

I've used just about every version of "Basic"​, from Applesoft to VB (which is the one I use primarily). I've also played around with Pascal, and Java and used to do Cobol. I've been meaning to learn C+, but haven't really gotten around to it.

what programming languages do you know?
I studied it when I was in school. But I never really like it. it's was so hard at that time. =( But now I really like PHP & MySQL. I feel a lot more fun compare to asp.net even though I don't know anything about php & MySQL.
