Visual Basic Woot Woot!, Javascript, and ASP, very little PHP but I dont really have the time

Started back in 1989 to program BASIC in a Spectrum+ :') then in an Amstrad... made lotta good games back then. Then I went into QBasic, only that the one I modified was the gorilla one... xD, also learnt Logo (No comments) and Pascal, C, C++, VB, VB.NET, Java, PHP (ASP, JSP, whateveritisScript and so on), Eiffel... Prefer Java anyway... if only it had a VB-like way to manipulate events and build GUIs... snif. I did some ASM in a 8085, now doing for 80x86 xD. And my beloved matlab, which joint with derive gave me the worst days of my univ life... 

Now learning SQL, DataBase connection and network protocols to use in C VB and Java, some 3D modelling and Flash ActionScript...  somedays I end putting a 'for i=1 to 10 step 2' in a c program and stand for hours thinking about the compiler's momsy because I can't just find about my language mixture...

What I lack most is the definive idea for a program... my univ project is about an internet-scale network manager (Skynet)... which has turned out into a serious hacking machine...  (maybe she has become aware of her potential ? )

im starting to learn vb 6 , o an i kno logo

Lol, dunno cant remember tbh.

Also i take back the comment on not learning vb, i guess in a way it did teach me some fundementals..but it hides so much away from the programmer! Eperimenting with ASM and c were the only times I really felt like I was controlling what the processor was doing and I feal thats important in programming. I just dont feal form1.show has the same appeal as registerclass, createwindow, createwindowex and showwindow.

I'm more into the web side of programming/scripting at the moment.  I started learning PHP before Christmas and picked it up quickly.  My knowledge still isn't perfect but I'm learning as I go, and enjoying it too.  Like WDZ said, HTML and mySQL are often closely linked with PHP, so I'm quite fluent in those too.

* musicalmidget remembers when HTML looked so complicated.

I'm quite interested in learning some form of computer programming language, and tried C++ a while ago but lost patience after a few days.  I couldn't even get my "Hello World" program to run.

I'll get there one day, but it may not be C++ I learn at this rate.

I started with VB6 until I discovered Delphi and I'm using it since then Delphi is Object Pascal, and it's pretty close to what Hah posted

I also know HTML, PHP, JavaScript.

HTML, CSS as structural languages, not programming, as pointed out plenty of times before ^^. (would love to get into XML soon)
Java, C++, VB, QBasic as application programming languages.
PHP, Javascript, "mIRC script code" as scripting languages.

Thing is, most programming languages are very alike, C++, PHP, Java, they're all based upon a same root, dno which though, but it's rather easy to learn the one when you know the other.

Fluent in HTML (yes I know it isn't a programming language) BASIC (stupid crap thing) and JavaScript. I know the basics of XML and am currently learning VB.

Cool I started with that to! I just didn't learn Basic because I couldn't find a good compiler (for free ofcourse!) and so I started learning in Dev-C++...
Ow and I forgot i know quite some HTML (Look at my site... I've got too many iFrames in it I think...)

Huh, yeah, forgot to say I'm an ActionScript geek
