What's the programming language of your choice?

PHP has OO which is fine and dandy. It just doesn't have a standard Framework like Java or Ruby on Rails.

Not sure why that's a massive black mark against it... Python doesn't have a "standard" framework, but Django is thoroughly awesome and I've heard good things about CakePHP too.

not entirely sure if it fits, but we're using code igniter at work at the moment. i hate using it though as i prefer building apps from the ground up

c# 2.0 & asp.net 2.0

both a massive improvement on .net 1.1 and miles better than php....

*cough*

/me runs before the php mob gets here

*eyes Voo wearily*

The same Voo that played in the COD tourney at i-series a few years ago (and came second along with the stunningly handsome and talented teammate jeNK^)?

As I am reading the thread many people use Microsoft programming platform e.g. C#, Visual Basic.
IMHO it is the best or not? :rolleyes:

Depends on requirements.

It's also the current "in" thing amongst the developers world. Java is also still in high demand, but it appears to be losing it's grip, as it were.

I do a little php when I have too.

Also working on some Java for a module at uni.

I'd rather not develop stuff if I can help it.

C# (and all of the .NET 2.0 platform languages) is/are powerful, allow(s) very rapid development, are well supported & documented, have an exceptionally good IDE available for free to 'the masses' (VCS/VWD etc express editions are free, VS2005 for professionals). I'm a C#/ASP.NET developer by trade having moved from other languages, and bar the sheer community behind C/C++, nothing feels as complete a package as the .NET 2.0 languages. IMO MS have really got their act together, and the prerelease .NET 3 SDK is equally as interesting

Java. And Ruby baby!

Or your choices (if you program in many platforms).
Well I am not a professional programmer I just learned the basics some years ago.
I started with Borland products (Turbo Pascal and Turbo C++) but now I prefer Microsoft Visual C#.

PHP mostly at the moment.

I agree for example Visual C++ is more powerfull than C# (it is easier) but you cannot write assembly code in C#.
I say this cos some monitor programs (CPUz) use assembly routines to recognize the multiplier and FSB on the fly.
