Hi everyone, I've just joined this network. Don't do a lot of software development at this point in time, other than the occasional BASH shell script.
However, I am looking at getting back into Pascal (with FPC now), as I used to know Turbo Pascal 3-7 fairly well in the DOS days. Have dabbled in Java and Perl, and hacking the odd C program (with little knowledge!) over the years. Also used to be reasonably proficient at Assembler on the 8086 and a few other micros of the day.
Anyway, looking forward to reading the net.
That's awesome to hear. C and Java are great. Maybe pickup some Pascal or D or whatever floats your boat :)
I found Java fairly easy to pick up. It was also my first experience at an object oriented language, and had no trouble getting used to the concepts. C needs a bit more time dedicated to it, that's a project for another time.
Unlike most geeks, a lot of my time is devoted to sport (which is probably the thing that will allow me to handle coding!). So I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to new languages.

I hope you enjoy using DeveloperNet. Currently there isn't a whole lot of traffic, but hopefully over time more people will find DeveloperNet useful.

After some time people will get onto here.
Do you advertise this network in anyway to BBS users?
It is a pretty awesoke language. Give it a spin - it's super easy to pick up.
Fun fact, I email the creator of D.
C is (theoretically) a fairly simple language, since it doesn't have
object-oriented programming and other features of more modern
languages.
It has a lot of syntax and different ways of being used. I'm not great with rote memory. I found Java fairly straightforward in that regard.
I saw something online recently that said "I know more about Star
Trek than I do about sports - And I'm okay with that." ;)
Haha, I know a lot about both. I enjoy the thrill of high speed under my own power. :D

Are you referring to D? It would help if you quoted the message you're replying to so it's easier to follow the conversation.
That's cool. Sometimes the language creators do get back to you. At one of my old jobs, my manager emailed Bjarne Stroustroup (the creator of C++) to ask a question about the language, and he actually replied within around 12 hours or so.

I've found that there's a certain logic behind the syntax of the languages, and if you understand that logic, you can sort of figure out the syntax for many things without having to memorize it all. It's sort of like knowing the grammar rules for a spoken/written language - If you know the grammar rules, you can figure out what a word/sentence should look like.
