I need to add to mine:
DOS BATCH commands
PowerShell
PHP
CSS (consider this a “language” ?)
mySQL
And experimentally:
- bash (that’s the linux command line processor?)
- Python
- LINQ
Out of the box, U*nix does not have an official command line parser. The original was the Bourne Shell or sh. But then others came onto the various Unix implementations and later Linux:
- ksh: Korn Shell popular on HP UX
- bash: Most popular, on Mac OS and most Linux distros - Also written by Bourne
- csh: C Shell, because the rest of the OS is in C
- zsh: Z Shell
- fish: Fish Shell
SQL
Some C#
Learned VB in college, but barely have used it much since
DAX
Here’s my mostly complete list.

Does copying the assembler code from the back pages of PC Magazine qualify as x86 ASM?

Why yes it does.
Twice if you understood any of it.

Resume decoder- What various levels of software or programming knowledge people put on their resume actually mean.
Familiar with - Means you’ve heard of it. Even if the first time was when you read it in the job description that you’re applying for. Or maybe you’ve seen it used or demo’d.
Knowledgeable - you’ve used it to at least open a doc, or did a tutorial (such as copying code from a magazine or book). Extra credit if you actually typed it, in vs copy and paste. Maybe you even printed a document.
Expert - more knowledgeable than nearly anyone else in your old office. In Office programs, you actually know how to use templates.
Guru - You believe you know more than the person who is going to interview you.

I was wondering if anyone was gonna notice that one and then it hit me that
if we can inject the code and use reflection we can tag the methods we want
at insights I’m hoping I can meet up with some of you and grill you on some
different topics. Speaking of grilling, man I ate some good shrimp the other
day; I got them from my buddy at work, he’s swell.
I’ll add ADD to mine. I could only dream of having the hyperactive part because… well dark chocolate is my favorite. Especially in chocolate chip mint ice cream. Always in a sugar cone. None of that “safety” cone crap. Like anyone has lost an eye from a sugar cone. Biting off that tip works but then every other lick has to be of the drips out of the bottom else your shirt gets ruined. I haven’t worn a Hawaiian shirt in a while. Not even sure I have one that still fits. If only I was hyperactive and could exercise more.
It’s not helping my fat butt.
