Survey Results

FYI after months of no magazine or notification Fawcette has crammed VC++ into VB developers journal. (Only 2 articles an issue). If anyone else out there felt ripped off, reply.

I haven't completed the survey because there was no option to NOT purchase any Code Project merchandise.

Um, when did "ASP" become a programming language? I know you can program an ASP page using the VBScript and JScript languages (which weren't listed), but there's no actual language called ASP...

Also, why isn't JavaScript or XSL listed?

Come to think of it, nether is Managed C++ - the language is the same, but with Managed Extensions. BTW, JScript and VBScript are not programming languages - they're scripting languages. But the question says Languages, so even HTML could be included...

How about including BrainF***? Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

javascript is a programming language in every real and philosophical sense I can think of.

May god have pity on you

So I should have said 'programming environment' or 'methodology' or something. 'ASP' is a lot easier than 'ASP pages using any one of the available scripting languages supported'.

I kinda figured that if you developed ASP pages you would know what I was getting at.

You've been mentioning the T-shirts for months - where are they already ? You said you had 12 at one stage but nothing more....

People who love sausage and respect the law should never watch either one being made.

The things that come to those who wait are usually the things left by those who got there first.

Yea, we want's some T-shirts Poke tongue | ;-P

I am holding 12 T-shirts in my hot little hands at this very moment.

Mwahahahaha!

The first person to find me at TechEd and ask for a T-shirt gets one.

cheers,

Is that the European Tech-Ed your talking about?

Hey, I am a student in high school and there's no option in 'what you do for a living' for such a thing. I voted 'CEO'...

- Senator Palpatine

Thanks for that. I added 'Student' and 'other' and removed 1 from the 'CEO' total and added 1 to the Student total.

cheers,

Then try some Belgian beer. You can choose between 430 different kinds of beer here!

Oh my god!
How can you do such a thing? ONE beer alone is bad enough as it is, but 430!!! Eek! | :eek:

I've heared that they've got various sorts of beer in england, but not 430!!! Eek! | :eek:

Sorry, maybe I'm overreacting a little here....
