A new programming language every year...
Somewhere I read that it was a good thing to learn at least one new programming language every year; I think I have kept up that trend since 1992:
- 1992: QBasic
- 1993: Turbo Pascal
- 1994: C
- 1995: "Classic" Visual Basic
- 1996: Java
- 1997: JavaScript
- 1998: VBScript
- 1999: Transact-SQL
- 2000: C++
- 2001: C#
- 2002: Objective-C
- 2003: AppleScript
- 2004: Visual Basic.NET
- 2005: Ruby
And this year's winner is: LINQ. The main purpose of learning it is to prepare the LINQ conference in the TechDays next week... and this is huge indeed!
