I'd agree, but you also have to say the same thing about HTML....

It should be HTML/CSS. CSS is not easy to master.

Just what I thought - no need for being able to write comprehensive, cohesive, and attainable REQUIREMENTS! ;-P

Who needs requirements? Marketing tells the customer what the new software will do and management tells the programmers to make that happen. :=)

At least that's what happened at the last place I worked. And it all worked out so well. </sarcasm>

No way XML and HTML are programming languages. The people who do are the same ones who call AR15’s automatic weapons, and a Magazine a Clip. Try to put XML into a loop. You can’t that’s called XSLT.

Remember Journalist’s are not too bright.

C# is a programming language, of several that fall under the .Net Framework. .Net is the framework of classes and functionality that make up an overall set of development tools. .Net is not a language. ASP.Net is also not a language but a web development component of the .Net Framework. ASP.Net can be implemented using C# or any of the .Net capable languages.

Those of us who understand the JES2 and JCL references are probably the only real programmers here.

The last computer language class I took was PL1. Before that it was FORTRAN.

PHP is amateurville. I can’t imagine a first rate pro website being written in it.

You just need to know it to maintain or update the old ones. Same with Perl.

I'd agree, but you also have to say the same thing about HTML.... As someone who is in software development, I cringe when people say they can "program in HTML"...

HTML 5 is starting to edge toward a programming language. But, I agree -- it's not there yet.
