a website about my video games. I think
Another programming language I have tried is java. I read a few pages of some book about java. It was fun. I never programmed much in java. Maybe I am a dabbler in programming languages and not a programmed. Because programming takes dedication and hard work.
I wanted to make java apps for websites. I never made any of my own java applets for a website. Do websites have java applets anymore. I have no idea. Maybe I will try java again one day. I don’t know.
Pascal was another one of my flavor of the week programming languages. I got Free pascal and later I installed the Lazarus IDE for free pascal. I read some of a tutorial on the free pascal website or was it some of another tutorial. It was fun. I had dreams of being a great pascal programmer. I had dreams of making gui programs with pascal.
Then one day i those dreams were no more for whatever reason.
Another programming language I tried is PHP. I read some of practical PHP. Now the book is called Hacking with PHP Or maybe its still called practical PHP. I installed apache, mysql, and php. As part of a package.
It must have programmed with php for a week or more. I even ran my php programs on the web server I installed. I never made anything in php. Then one day I stopped reading about PHP and went on to another programming language.
I am positive that I read an article snipped about Erlang And you know what that means. I had to have it on my computer. Maybe I am a programming language collector who wants to programs but, is to scared to program for fear that if programming is tired it will be found by me that i cannot program.
I read some of the erlang documentation. I probably did that for a week. Then bye bye earlang. Its so fun to get a new compiler on my computer. Then I find out it takes work to learn to program. That’s when I move onto another programming language.
I have tried a little bit of c and c++ programming languages. when I first go a computer I spend all night downloading a C/C++ compiler that needed cygwin. I also installed borland c/c++ compiler. I also tried open wacom I never used the compilers much.
i had had a sams teach yourself c++ since before I got a computer. The book was from 1999. So when I got a computer I read the book. I might have even got all the way through and even put some of the programming examples on my computer and compiled them.
Then one day c/C++ disappeared from my life.
Python is another language I have tried. i read learn python the hardway, I even think I made it all the way though dive into python 3. And I know I made it all the way thought machine learning for dummies and beginning programming with python for dummies. I also read about django.
And yet I have not written much python. I must be scared that if I program I will fin out that I can’t program. I don’t know what my hang up about not programming is. I need a goal to design my own programs and make them. I make songs. So I can make programs also.
If I don’t use a programing language I am going to forget it. Practice helps me remember.
I have uploaded python code to github. design write, design, write. That is my new motto for programming.
Continuing with the programming languages I have tired because I can’t figure out what else to write about series of blog posts.
RubyRuby is another programming language I have tried. Why did I try a bunch of programming languages? Because I had hard drive space to spare so I had to fill it with something.
Why did I want to try Ruby? I wanted to read whys poignant guide to ruby . I did read a few pages of the book. Then the clock struck twelve and Ruby’s time in my life had come to an end.
I never wrote much ruby code. Which I am sure no one noticed or cared about. I was obsessed with making GUI programs with ruby. I never did that either. I never made a website with ruby rails. I never did much of anything with ruby except to read tutorials if that. And maybe read parts of other books about Ruby.
Another of the short list of programming languages I have tried is Rebol. I like that its a small download. I was sure Rebol was going to take over the computer world. Because I know about such things. So that go me down. Why learn any other programming languages.
In fact why even learn Rebol. I did read a little bit of a tutorial on the rebol website. It might be a fun language to program in. How would I know I have not done much of any programming with it.
I don’t want to commit to a programming language. I might miss out on another programming language that becomes popular. In fact why commit to programming. Thinking about programming is enough.
