I voted for webdesign but I don't do a lot of high end coding. I am mostly an illustrator who does web design for my bread and butter. So HTML, a little flash, and recently I've been learning Maya :)

I'm an applications developer with Perl. (I don't write sysprogs or do sysadmin. I write actual applications, database and mapping type, for state and local governments.)
Perl is quite a powerful language, if people use it for more than CGI. |

Huh? I'm not sure that physical security would help you with computer security, unless you are some kinda uber guard ;)
Computer security is definately a hot skill to have these days though, especially internet/network stuff. |

Actually, Physical Security *should* be a big part of Computer Security. If I am able to walk up to your machine and put a boot disk in, or take teh HDD out, it doesn't matter what kind of software security you have. Physical Security also doesn't have to mean that he is standing there. He could provided consulting on what kinds of security doors/locks/cages stand between me and me walking up to your servers and pissing on them. :) Go to a Telephone company Switching station, you will see what I mean.

C / C++ application for Windows for the most time ... A little bit of COM, DAO, ADO
I'm currently on my way of making that my profession ... Every once in a while JAVA comes by (mostly in private projects). |

This is sort of a difficult one for me--I do a little bit of everything (Perl/Python/shell scripting, "hard" programming in C++, open-source development with Java, web design...), some of it hobbyist and much of it professional. So I went ahead and put myself under the hobbyist category as a catch-all, but honestly I wanted to put myself in about three others as well. :)

Well, I don't do a ton of programming (it's mostly a hobby/occassional use thing for me) but when I do it's usually got something to do with webdesign. Considering that I taught myself a huge chunk of the HTML language last summer through trial and error mostly (and some online reading) it's stayed with me and I've actually become pretty good at it.

Amatuer/hobbyist here... Know a range of useful langauges : C, Perl, PHP, mySQL, some java and C++ but we don't like to talk about those things :P
Still need to learn some GUI code for my C programs... it breaks ANSI compatipility, but users seem to run in terror of anything without pretty pictures :P |

Since this is a sort of "Hey guys this is the kinda geek I am" post I'll post what I do :)
I'm a Flash programmer. I make puzzles and gameshows for www.boxerjam.com and have alot of fun doing it. I use Flash Actionscript, HTML, Javascript, PHP, Perl, MySQL and do alot of database work. I am NOT a designer turned coder. I have coded since I was 15. Basically I do both front end and back end. I used to code in C, C++ and then Java, but moved into Flash as it gained programming power. I've often thought about making a Shadowrun Flash Game, but the amount of time needed to pull it off would suck all the little free time I already have (avid gamer). Oh and I have also been building computers since the 1980s and used to hack a bunch before it became too dangerous :) It I was a Shadowrunner I would be your Face/Hacker type with martial arts (no guns) 8) Feonyx |

I can't program. I tried to learn flash in school. I can't draw, even I do know the mechanics of photoshop. I have never taken a high math course. But if you want to know anything about the physiology of the human body, anatomy or exactly what it is a bullet does when it passes though your lung. I'm your guy. I make my living examining people who die in combat.

For the past year or so, I've been using Java to build rich GUIs.
I keep my PERL knowledge from lapsing by using it as my nasty "you two things, just work together, damn-it" glue. I play with Web standards (HTML, CSS), but as IE is the most popular browser out there, I find my CSS skills especially are not terribly useful to others. I've played with C/C++ in the past, but prefer Java. It's basically a desire for not having to micro-manage memory (or be tempted to), and having a strongly-typed language, to stop those REALLY hard to find run-time oddities that only weakly-typed languages can achieve. |

well, im more of a video geek, but as far as computers go
I built me own, tried to get a few friends to let me build for them, but they always "run out of money"... did some Basic back in HS (bout 3 years ago now), had 1 flash course in college, which i enjoyed, even though i cant draw. tried to pick up some html stuff, but found it was kinda boring for me. I suppose if i hadnt gone to school for video production, my other options would have been programming, but i did that BASIC course way to late to really decide if i woulda rather did that. |

While I took a class in C, I mainly do video editing. I make anime music videos under the studio Mt. Nevermind. When I need some programing done, I go to my friends, and get them to program something for me. The C class helps to follow along with them.
The most coding I do is figuring out html on a broken page or following somebody else's pattern, like editing .dat files for Mcmackie. One of my friends is making a goggle program for me. I came up with a cost table for making shadowrun goggles, which he's written up for me. Still working on export functions. |

Hi,
I program Java for a living for 5 years for various environments (standalone, server-side, web-delivered) using various technologies (graphics, database,...) on various platforms (Windows, Linux, Unix). I am open to any proposal to participate to a group project but I am not able to launch or lead one for the time beeing. |
