How many programmers are on Quantnet?

[Tsotne]

I wonder how many of this community are programmers. State your programming experiences and what type of programmers you are...which languages you use most and what job you apply them to...

Please don't let this discussion go ahead of topic and turn into argument (...on which language is better, faster, etc). Just let this thread be a collection of information about the programmer members.

Any time I have to run some analysis, I code in R :P

In a previous life, I was a pure analyst/coder. Now, I've made the transition out into more quant finance, but obviously that still involves a lot programming. But my terrible secret is that I've been smacked around at various times by the following:

Java, ASP Jscript, Javascript, MSSQL, MySQL, Oracle, VBA, C#.Net, C++, Matlab, PHP, and even some Director/Flash-script way back before I knew better....

I use whatever works best. I've worked with probably a half-dozen or more different languages in enough detail to convince someone to give me a mid-level position, and another half dozen or more that I've used for some purpose or other over the years. At some point you just stop being afraid to jump into new things. The underlying logical thought process in creating well structured and functioning code really doesn't change THAT much from one language to the next.

... The underlying logical thought process in creating well structured and functioning code really doesn't change THAT much from one language to the next.

IMHO, this is not really true for all the languages but it does work for family of languages.

C#, HTML, SQL, C++, (not C - I hope only yet)

VBA(intermediate),

and MATLAB but not using it currently.

 

[DominiConnor]

Job:Headhunter
Debugged Operating system code for IBM and Microsoft as well as part of Excel.
Worked on porting first Intel Unix at Nortel
C developer since 1982, C++ since about 1990
Basic programmer since 1973
SQL Since 1987
Written VBA from the British Treasury, and Python under perversely awkward conditions.
I think I'm the first person who ever got paid to write a VB program, wrote PC Magazine dev column on that subject for a while
At various points I've programmed in REXX, Lisp, Matlab, Mathematica, F#, C#, Prolog, MIC, Javascript, Java, CUDA, ASM, and various shells and scripting languages. Do you count M4 and HTML as programming ?

 

[euroazn]

Do you count ... HTML as programming ?

Surely you jest...

 

[Tsotne]

Do you count M4 and HTML as programming ?

Knowing them is certainly an asset for a programmer. HTML is not much like standard programming so you can separate it's ok.

 

[Tsotne]

Keep posting please. It is interesting reviewing each others' experiences and diversity of languages,usage,etc.

Woow anything left? Can I ask how old are you?
