    Sounds epic! At the moment, I'm doing Visual BASIC programming in school, it's not the best but I know everything they have attempted to teach me... Despite that, I have to admit coding is very fun, especially when you mess it up. It's fun to scroll through pages of coding to see where you went wrong.
    Maybe I'm looking too deeply into it xD

    @Sparky - I won't be a torso. I'll be a torso and a head.

    Ah! I like it best when it's all going well. I tend to get more and more frustrated as something refuses to work. I'll keep trying new solutions while cursing various deities until everything works as it should then carry on building happily.

    Also, VB.Net...I was taught in that originally. I prefer Java. Java's a good deal smarter.

    I only deal in very small amounts of java, php and asp, and rarely need to use them... But I'd love to learn a combo of PHP and ASP properly. Or JQuery, it looks useful and.. Not simple, but easy to understand.

    @Legion - trust me. It's worth the wait.
    Assuming you use a new, up to date version of VB... Unlike my school which uses VB5 T-T

    We get more generall stuff like Prolog, SQL and HTML to go along with the Java they've taught us at the moment, which is pretty handy. It's possible to make an app that combines several together, making for a pretty awesome super app.

    I managed to combine SQL and VB.Net for a college project. That was pretty fun once it started working.

    I've never really looked into SQL, mainly because the school dismisses it as 'useless until you leave'...

    @Choc - night bro, sleep well /)

    Good night, good and noble sir.

    Huh...Weird.

    It's handy only for Databases and nothing else. It's like magic words for data. It's very handy code but really, really dull to learn about.

    A lot of specialist languages can be like that: Important but boring.

    So SQL could be used to create a username-password storing database? Hmm... Ideas run through my head already!

    Ohello, Bounty! How be you today?

    I see the Game development degrees as very silly.
    as well as java.

    Not if you want to be a Games Designer/Developer... Work experience is more important though. Also, manners (and respect). They help. A lot.

    Well technically, you'd be better off using mySQL (as opposed to coding from scratch with SQL) and yes, you'd need a bridging language like PHP too.
