| Basic, Visual Basic |
|
COBOL |
- Basic is too basic to deserve saying anything.
- Visual Basic is my favorite although it does not support inheritance.
|
|
- Many students hate it, but if they got some editing background, their life would be much better.
|
| C, C++ |
|
Java, Javascript |
- Strictly speaking, C and C++ should not be placed side by side, but even in Southwest Bell, 75% of its C++ code is actually C code.
- About C editors, if your UNIX system has PICO, then don't use VI. VIM is not easy to use either.
- GNU stands for "GNU is Not Unix," so if next time technical recruiters ask you about Unix, don't tell them you know GNU.
- C code compiled with Turbo C++ or Visual C++ may not work with Unix, because Unix C compilers does not recognize C++ syntax.

- Java and Javascript are different things, although they got some similarity in syntax. So, if you only know Java but put Javascript also on your resume, you will regret it later.
- Several ways can be used in Javascript to swap images. Image swap of this page does not use array. If you use array to do this, chances are that with some browers (e.g. Netscape), the swapped images may not roll back when needed.
- Java applets take memory, and may be slow to initialize.

| PowerBuilder script |
|
SQL |
- Since VB is so popular and is more powerful than PowerBuilder script, I really wonder why PowerBuilder still exists.
|
|
- Painful stuff, but if you pretend not knowing it before a recruiter, you may miss an opportunity.
