JavaScript
JavaScript is a rather new interest of mine. People often confuse this
with Java, there are big similarities between them but JavaScript is much
simpler and can only be used on the web. Since it is loosely typed I think
that it is like object oriented BASIC for the web. Loosely typed means
that you don't have to declare a variable before use. Resources like JavaScript
Guide is absolutely necessary to be able to write JavaScript code,
the guide is also available in zip format (390
kb) which is good if you use a dial-up connection.
I also have a page where I do some experiments.
You can look if you want, but it's mostly just for fun.
C++
Since about half a year back have I mostly been programming in C++. This
language really have enormous potential and give much better structure
to the code than C or Pascal since it is object oriented. I'm aware of
Object Pascal, but almost all programmers over the world have chosen C++
so, I have too.
I wish that C++ would have something like Pascal's SWAG. It's probably
just to start collecting code and make it search able, that's probably
how SWAG started.
Assembler
Assembler is something I have worked with for some time now, but always
together with a high level language since it's so hard to create whole
applications in assembler. I've never even tried to create an application
in assembler, I've used it a lot to make graphical functions though.
What I love about assembler is that you always know exactly what's
happening, you control every step the processor takes, it's hard, takes
a lot of coding and debugging but when it works... I can't express the
feeling , it's just wonderful.
Pascal
Pascal
was one of the first languages I used. And is the language I know best.
Unfortunately I don't think I'll do any more coding in Pascal, all coding
nowadays is in C++. Pascal still has advantages though, it isn't so forgiving
and doesn't let you do all those stupid things C let you do. So I recommend
this language to anyone that want to learn coding, it's just so much easier
for a beginner.
If you program in Pascal there is one thing you can't be without and
that's the file ALLSWAGS.ZIP.
That's a true gold mine for all pascal programmers.
