What are you programming in?

Catwell
Catwell over 15 years ago

What are you programming in these days? For me it's Assembly and some C/C++. But it seems that it's becoming time to move past all the old tried and true languages for the new. Now you have to know C#.net, Java, and whatever syntax you need for whatever new processor you have to work with. For example, you can't be a straight HTML programmer anymore, you need to know Flash, SQL scripting, CSS, Shockwave, HTML5, and whatever the flavour of the month is, to a high degree of proficiency. It's a lot to know. So, how do you choose what to learn? A few people I knew several years ago were learning Python and Fortran from some reason or other, boasting it's where Engineers have to migrate. Neither of them used those languages. Now they are studying Java and Objective C. To avoid this cycle of learn then learn another, what should we all program in?

    at uni i was taught assembly, c/c++ and java, since then i only use assembly (pic/avr) and c for embedded systems, c++ would be nice sometimes but this still has too much overhead for micros....

     

    i also program verilog for fpga's, still a language i guess...

    Lee, have you ever used the automated code generation in Matlab or Rhapsody/any other UML tool? I just wondered how those compared to hand grafting

    no, i havent used them, i would like to try out matlab for code generation as i have used matlab for just about everything else..... it has never been something that i have needed to date.

     

    as for UML i only cover the basics at uni, i think i have only used it once since.... as part of a small scale C++ project that interfaced a PC with an AVR data logger

     

    i played around with the auto gen in MPLAB when starting out with the PIC32 (my primary project at the moment is PIC32MX795 based data aquistion unit), it wasnt to bad but preferred to hand code the perpherals myself, (PLIB.H is also good but far from perfect....lol).

    cheers
