Thank you, I learned 27 different languages since 1979, most are so old that there are no jobs for them anymore. I used to be a master at Visual BASIC until Dotnet came out.

I can learn any language on the market if I wanted to. I am a quick learner as I have the theories of computer science in my head as I learn.

My first "paid" gig was winning £50 for submitting a game written in AMOS Basic to an Amiga computer magazine, which got picked as the magazine's "Game of the month". It's still an achievement I'm really proud about.
What are your 4? favorite languages? (Among those 27 :-))
BASIC, C, Ada, COBOL.
Ok. I like Ada a bit, we studied at University, incl for a hard real time simulation problem :-) Never did any COBOL

Have a nice weekend tomorrow
