31 <h2>Programming Languages</h2>
32 <p><img src="images/binary.png" alt="binary" class="float-right" height="100" width="100" />
33 During my studies and personal work, I've used a variety of programming
34 languages. Here is an overview in chronologic order with some comments:</p>
38 It was the first language that I've learned. I've enjoyed hacking
39 around in it a little, but never got far with it due to lack of
40 learning resources.</li>
43 This was actually my second language to learn, which meant a big leap.
44 My first contact was at the age of 15, though I hadn't used it
45 extensively until I started studying. In the past years, I've been
46 developing most of my personal and professional work in C++. It's a beast and should be
47 only handled with care.</li>
50 My first contact with Java was at the university. It does provide help
51 by managed memory and a big standard library.
55 This language was a love-hate relationship for me. I hated it for being
56 so difficult to grasp for the first time and loved it for inspiring me
57 to approach problem solving from a differnt angle, even when working
58 with non-functional languages.</li>
61 Nice iterative language especially for the field of artificial
65 C is clean and flat. It is still the most successful structured language and will most
66 probably still be in use for many years to come, even if it's just "under the hood".</li>
68 <h4>Assembler. **</h4>
69 Been there, done that.</li>
72 It feels like the more mature language based on a managed
73 architecture, especially in combination with Visual Studio, developing
74 in it is a breeze. The .Net framework is mostly a well structured and
75 complete environment to work in.</li>
78 It's my personal favourite language for many fields. It's best suited
79 for rapid prototyping, which fits perfectly into my method of working.</li>
82 Google has developed an interesting language with the goal of providing a general programming language including a garbage collector and efficient methods for concurrency handling. It's a fun language and shows some interesting concepts including a more dynamic approach on object orientation.</li>
83 <br />* shows my experience level with the language
85 <h2>Operating Systems</h2>
87 <li><h4>GNU/Linux</h4>
88 Ubuntu, openSUSE, Red Hat and CentOS.</li>
89 <li><h4>Microsoft Windows</h4>
90 Windows 95/98/2000/XP/Vista/7.</li>
98 These are my general purpose editors for quick editing on all platforms
99 and have become my prefered editors when working in an IDE-free environment.</li>
101 <h4>Visual Studio</h4>
102 It's my first choice for C#, C++ and C programming on Windows. It has
103 proven to be a feature-rich, reliable and customisable IDE with great debugger integration.</li>
106 It's what I prefer when developing in Java and, to some extent, when
107 working in C++ on Linux. It has a great plugin system and is therefore
108 extendable to be used with a big variety of languages.</li>
114 Chrome for browsing, IRSSI for IRC and Skype for communication.</li>
116 <h4>Documentation</h4>
117 gedit & LaTeX for papers, gnuplot for analysis visualisations and Inkscape for graphics.</li>
119 <h4>Version Control</h4>
120 Mercurial for private work.
121 Subversion/CVS at work.</li>
