What programming language are you using and why?

na karaan sad ana COBOL oi.

- Karaan lagi ning COBOL, pero big companies mao ni gipanggamit(Business Applications).

[batigol192002]

what JAVA can do and COBOL cannot?

-COBOL, pang back-end/background processing.
-Java - Front/Web applications.

Meaning kung midrange/mainframe inyong server, you need to communicate thru COBOL. Kay dili gud na puede mo access diretso ang JAVA, tungod sa security ug mga calculations/checking ug unsa pa dihang tsi2x-buritsi.

Example lang ATM(Bank) nya imong server midrange/mainframe platform(Dili SQL).
- ang application sa ATM it's either c/c++/java whatever. do you think nga maka pul-out na diretso ug data ang ATM? The Answer is No., mu-agi pa na sa security check(host pin check), din ilabay sa server ang request, COBOL programs running 24hrs background mode(no user intervention) mao na mo process sa request(like e-determine kung Debit or Credit Card). then ilabay balik sa ATM ang whatever the result(ex. kung naa pa bay sud imong acount).

- at the end of the day, naa na silay gitawag ug closing - meaning e-reconcile ang reports, sa ATM against sa server(mao na kung makabantay mo naa specific oras nga ma offline ang ATM). do you think ma-handle na sa JAVA? No., kay ari na sa server padaganon, alangan naman ug adto-on nimong Tagsa2x ang ATM.

- Mao nga ang mga "Big Institution" rely gud na cla sa Midrange/Mainframe using COBOL.

- Karaan tu-od ang COBOL, pero basin ug mauna pag kamatay ang JAVA.

- Ayaw gud ninyo sawaya ang COBOL kay usually they earned more than what JAVA/PC programmer does.

- Nagkagamay na raba ang mga programmers sa COBOL - basin ganahan mo mo-apil sa mga tiguwang hahahaha.

mas maayo gud kung makama-o mo ug pang front-end ug back-end applications(COBOL/JAVA, .NET etc)

C++, C#, PHP, CSS, Ajax, Javascript...these are what i'm using in my current projects now...hehehe

[MarkCuering]

LOL...how you combined those?

[Maikeru]

Me.. some of my web application projects are using Ruby on Rails, some PHP. Sa work pud.. where making smart clients, we are using C#.

Why? hmp... I use Ruby on Rails sa uban web applications coz, say, naanad mn gud ko MVC and for me ruby is a powerful and promising language. I also use PHP coz -> mao ipagamit sa client. Well sa work, smart clients nga application, I'm using C# ky mao mn pud ipagamit sa amo counter part.

[silent-kill]

eh. mvc is not language dependent, im using c#, and php on the side, sometimes vb6 but not too often. i need to learn new language or technology sometime probably java or pearl i need my asp.net skills to boost up lol.

[jintatsu]

C++ mao mn gigamit namo sa office.. hehehe..

@silent-kill : it's PERL, not "pearl". (Practical/Program Extraction and Report Language). It's quite easy to use, if you know C, then you don't have problem adjusting to its convention.

[silent-kill]

PERL is also a nice language which was originally called 'pearl' until it changed it's name but note: perl and Pearl are not the same.,

i'm referring to PEARL(Process and Experiment Automation Realtime Language) heard of that?

PEARL (programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

wtf...I never thought there exist such a language..hehehehe

My mistake, I stand corrected. :P
