There are many different programming languages that exist today.  Many of which are old and not begin used as much as before.  Cobal for example is old and still used although not as much as before.  Many languages are complex and not user friendly and have died but, C and C++ are still around today.  These two languages will be around for a long time to come.  I recently downloaded the new Visual Basic 2008 Express and to play with the tools some.  While I write this site is HTML and use some PHP to make things easier I don't know alot of PHP yet.  I have more experiance with other languages.  I hope add more here about my experiance with languages and useful documents that I find and other sites of interest.
