does no one program machine language anymore? god that's the way i was
taught to program microprocessors guess i'm showing my age
( and its how i got my self banned from john Menzies on sauchall street
as a kid
when i used machine code on there zx spectrum's. to switch of the
keyboard)
the last time i programmed in C++ was in modeling leaky integrate and fire
neurons as my final year project many moons ago.
but as i've said c, c++ and c# are all in the same family. as Delphi,
and Pascal are in the same family, Basic and visual basic etc...
each language has its uses and specialization. and if there is one
thing about programming and the options available it is that there are
many and each has its pros and cons. and i don't want this to descend
into an argument of the pros and cons of one over the other.
so so far i have someone wanting to learn c++
and someone suggesting PHP.
do we have any others?
what time would suit people to have the first meeting and if not Monday
what day would people prefer.
regards
dave
