Ergh ... used to know quite a bit of BASIC (BBC Micro + Acorn Electron + Spectrum) but probably have forgotten most of it cos it's so 80's!
Would love to learn to code but there's so much to catch up for me, so i don't know where to start
Been trying to program my girlfriend to automatically give me a fresh beer when I come back home but so far didn't work... I guess I'm not using the right programmation language.
yes, c++ and python my specialties

In fact I code for a living, over 30 years and counting ...
I cut my teeth on Object Pascal in 1997, moving swiftly to Deplhi in 1998. I spent a number of years using the Delphi compiler in various incarnations, Entirely self taught, I programmed as a hobby.If you were using Usenet or IRC during this time you probably saw one of my creatioons in action but didn't know it. I wrote various Usenet spambots/flooders, cancelbots, supercedebots and other things like that. Hipcrime was my inspiration for those. I released TrollTools v1.0 around 2004/2005. You can still find some stuff of mine online, including something called IEButtons and a mention of a worm iin the Norton database. I take no delight in any of it, it only shows how immature I used to be.
Over the years I've tinkered with Java, C#, C, C++, PHP, Prolog, VB and probably other I don't remember right now. I've done no programming at all since C# 3, nor have I any interest in doing so.

I would like to learn but the problem is that I don't have inspiration what to code...
On the other hand, I'm good with excel formulas and I create nice calculators that filter databases in excel workbooks, so I'm certain that that is some kind of base for programing and I've saw advanced excel calculators that have programed VB shells and could do all kind of reports and stuff on the fly, which I would need few steps in regular excel...
so all in all, I would like to learn more
Used to do C# but never needed to progress beyond a few years of learning it.
Not interested
Basic / Turbo Pascal in the long forgotten past.
Now Java, Groovy and C/C++.
Want to learn Swift for iOS devices but can't really do it without a mac. There are some workarounds but I guess I'm not determined enough.
