Working Daze by John Zakour and Scott Roberts for November 20, 2013

RatFor (Rational FORTRAN)Looks kind of like C in 1982.

Prolog for creating A.I. logic.

Why, oh why, did we ever go past BASIC? In fact, it was a mistake for us coming down out of the trees in the first place (thanks, Douglas Adams)

Who’s for RPG II, anyone?

Sure they’re not football fanses?

anyone remember assembly, or java, or visual basic, or visual c++, or asp, or .net framework? or, python? or, the hideous cobol? xml, html, css?

Nobody voting for ADA?

Remember you can friend Scott and John on Facebook.

Here’s the link to Scott’s FB page.

IBM Mainframe OS/MVS Assembler for me!

I’ll take Forth, and I don’t mean Sally.

COBOL rules!

Assembly Language – No limits, but don’t drop the cards.

When I find my code in tons of trouble,Friends and colleagues come to me,Speaking words of wisdom:“Write in C.”

As the deadline fast approaches,And bugs are all that I can see,Somewhere, someone whispers:“Write in C.”

Write in C, Write in C,Write in C, oh, Write in C.LOGO’s dead and buried,Write in C.

I used to write a lot of FORTRAN,For science it worked flawlessly.Try using it for graphics!Write in C.

If you’ve just spent nearly 30 hoursDebugging some assembly,Soon you will be glad toWrite in C.

Write in C, Write in C,Write in C, yeah, Write in C.Only wimps use BASIC.Write in C.

Write in C, Write in CWrite in C, oh, Write in C.Pascal won’t quite cut it.Write in C.

Write in C, Write in C,Write in C, yeah, Write in C.Don’t even mention COBOL.Write in C.

Fortran havent’ heard that in a long long time (shudders)

Out of all the programming languages I ever used I really liked Visual Basic the best.

PASCAL is a gateway language – easy to learn and helps transition into the more powerful stuff

SQL any one?

DOS 6 or Applesoft basic? Still like programming the old Apple II.

PL/I

I’d say APL, but it’s all Greek to me…
