Fine, i'll throw my lot in too then *grump*
I know some Basic (Used them all, bbcbasic, BASIC, QBasic, DarkBasic, several versions of Visual basic culminating in using VB.net) and a little C++.
Tada.
I started when I was just a little tot playing on my amstrad CPC464.
I say only that I know some because I don't consider myself to be any good at any language, the last thing I wrote in basic was a little clock to display the time in Binary on my second monitor.

Hmmm I've used
Basic, QBasic, True basic (I was on the beta team for TB Gold), Commal, Pascal, SmallTalk, Prolog, C++, Java, SQL.
Most of them learnt as needed (either work or uni) and mostly from examples rather then formal books.
and yeah I'm a Dev at the moment.

Started with a little vtech precomputer which had a basic BASIC interpreter when I was around 8.
Moved on to DOS batch files and qBASIC when I got my first PC when I was around 12.
Taught myself the basics of C++ a year later.
Dabbled in other languages over the next few years including Java (shudder) and Perl, eventually came across PHP and immediately fell in love with it. Had dumped C++ previously as it was difficult to learn by myself, decided to study it in college.
Finally got to college and found C++ had been replaced with Java (shudder). So I know some client side Java (shudder) from there, and some server side from some summer job or other.
Learning some VB (vomit) at my current job.
Main language is, and will be for the forseeable future, PHP.

I did a year of Computer science and AI at uni then bailed out. Too much lame stuff and no real coding  Taught myself most of the important bits so far.
I can do the basics with C++ and playing around with some D3D demo's and stuff, also some asm, python and php\mysql.
I'm really getting into exploit coding and trying to get a handle on that. Not enough time to really learn and it makes my brain hurt looking at too much shellcode.

EXCELLENT.
I start college (again!) in september to do computer programming (my 1st love)and i will expect all of your help...

I graduated from a BSc Computer Science course in the UK two years ago, picked up a few languages on the way Java, C# and PHP probably being the ones I know the best in terms of syntax and functionality - although as with anyone who has studied programming it is not about the language you write in it is about what you write. Most people can throw together an application in C#, VB, C or Pascal - and it might even work. The skill in programming lies in knowing the best data structure for a particular peice of data, and the best algorithms for a particuar task.

Everyone in these forums, with the exception of myself, is a programmer. Must be, from what I have read.

Nice, what course are you doing? 
IĈm currently in the middle of my 2-year course at college, IĈm studying:
"BTEC: National Diploma IT Practitioners: Software Development"
Its a great course that teaches all round computers, and then specializes more into the programming part of computers, we have studied things like Java and VB.
I hope once I finished I can progress onto Uni and do a degree of some sort (is it an HND or HNC?), defiantly something in IT computer related.

Me, im in my second year of a 5year course doing a Degree in Computer Game Development sponsored by Microsoft. Basically C and C++ and we touched slightly on assembly so far, its hard but i love it... they just got us a fresh batch of alienware computers to get our teeth into :)
Some day i will make the best ever space game, yes, even better than eve!!! I will do the impossible and make a game that does for games today what elite did all those years ago.... i hope

Got my Bsc in computing science from Aberdeen University, now I work as a .NET developer for a company making software tools for Dungeons and Dragons.
.Net is what I am most experienced in, but I've used allsorts in my time - C, C++, Java, Pascal, even such delights as Miranda, Prolog and COBOL (I try to block out those memories though, its to painful!)

me too!
all the way from BBC Basic and 6502 machine code, through to OMF/DBX/ARX C++ objects within AutoCAD.
LISP is the most interesting of all the languages I've ever used, whilst VisualBasic is the most mind-numbingly idiot-proof piece of c**p I've ever had the misfortune to have to use.
never went to University, 15 years in the same company, always learning.

I don't know one bit from another.
However, I do enjoy applying software to real problems. CRM is one of the most interesting fields for a process micro manager like me. I like macros, and I like encouraging employees to not worry about hoarding skills. Part of my job is just playing with software when I'm not busy solving more imminent problems. I run into computer networking all day, but since I understand such a tiny fraction of it at the base level, my approach is mostly akin to hitting it with a rock. I find this sufficient because that is pretty much what employees do anyhow. Mostly I do translation between ordinary people and proper geeks.
If you ask me, the amount of computing and database power out there compared to the amount that is being actively applied in business and industry is tremendously unbalanced. I come up with far more ideas that I don't know how to put past step one of research than I do solutions cobbled from the intersection of multiple products. EVE's influenced me a bit about trying to work around big problems in small business with very finite changes and additions.
I think I'm about caught up with high-tech business practices of the 1940s or so. When I was in college, I was too self-absorbed or even elitist to consider becoming an MBA, though now I sometimes wish I'd looked more closely at it at the time.

Freespace 2 is one of my favorite games of all time, I still play FS2_open now and then. Still miffed that they scrapped FS3

1. More than I care to admit.
2. Technically started with basic on a C= 64 as a wee lad, but really started a few years later with C. Learned it by messing about various MUD codebases. (Supposedly not the best place to learn C, but hey - it gave me a good education in how C++'s main value is buzzword compliance. Pfft, real programmers manage their own memory. Et cetera, verily, yea.)
3. No, thank god. Yes, unfortunately.

weeeelll cos i waited 4 years and am a wee bit old im doing an adult course for a year in programming and networking, then most definately go on to uni next september to do computer science

That is exactly what I meant with my first post in this thread, everyone will claim to know how to program, it's a little sad
