How Tech-Savvy Are You?

Just curious OT: how tech-savvy are you guys? Are you real computer experts that do a lot of programming and really understand how everything works inside and out? Or are you more the type that couldn't care less as long as "that Windows thing does what you want"? Or maybe you're something in between even?

as long as WoW pops up when I click that gold W icon, thats all I need.Allicrombie

I'm an IT guy so while I don't do really any programming I certainly know the ins and outs of a computer.

I'm basically worthless at technology. (And yet I'm better at that stuff than my parents. Yikes.) But I've been spoiled and had my computers and everything always taken care of for me, so now when stuff doesn't work I just freak out. :(

I can assure you I thought that when I saw your name under most recent posts not too long ago. :) But now I'll say it- You're back! Where did you go?

Long story short: college was killing my schedule. I'm only here now, because I just finished finals and have a few weeks off.jalexbrown

Hope to see you around more, then! Before the life-killer that is college sucks you back in.

In between by FAR! I must have knowledge of the PC or else I'll punch someone...

(To keep this topic somewhat on topic, I'm pretty tech-savvy. I do programming for fun if that tells you anything. I'm also familiar with a variety of operating systems - Windows, Linux, BSD, Solaris, OSX (somehwat). Yeah, I'm pretty much a really proud geek.)

Just about done my semester for school, and I'm learning about Linux, Networks, Windows, and hardware. So I can say im getting closer towards the expert category.

I know my way around computers, inside and out, and Windows OS, but Linux... not so much.

Well, I'm a second-year Computer Science student. I didn't start programming until college, but I have had access to a computer for literally as long as I can remember, and I've had my own computers for like ten years. I guess you could say that I'm pretty swift with computers. I'm not an expert, but I'm definitely above average.t3hrubikscube

What languages did/are you learning? I go to University of Cincinnati, and we learned Java and C#.jalexbrown

I'm an IT guy, so I am pretty good with a computer.

My only issue is programming and scripting.

It's not hard. As someone said earlier, it's just intimidating when you first start it. It's just mind-numbingly BORING!

I used to do some programming, does that count?

I am SO laughing at your chicken sig ... :lol:

On topic, I am going to school for CSP, but I am still in the AS stage, so basically I know more about our nation's history and the structure of a plant than I do hardcore programming.

Though I can code simple programs like sorters/basic algorithms and file i/o capable progs. I am versed in C++, Java, C#, PHP and SOME VB.

That and I know how to change my background pics :shock:

i guess im somewwhere in between...i can build my computers...and i dabble in moddin and scriptin...but im no expert

I'd say somewhere in the middle. I'm not some expert, but I'm not totally useless either.

not very. Couldn't even set up router :(

I can do basic things, but nothing beyond that. Technology upsets me most of the time anyway. >.>

I know C/C++, C#, Java, HTML, Python, PHP, Assembly (which is a language I think every programmer should learn), as well as an assortment of scripting languages like PERL. All that sounds impressive, but once you've programmed long enough, you could learn a new language in like a week. I'm currently working on Ruby On Rail, and Javascript. I've also programmed in Prolog, and if you've ever thought to yourself "Gee, I would really like to program in Prolog."..... don't.

I've written UNIX shell program which was a pain.

I build computers and repair people's computers for some extra spending cash (though that mostly entails me of backing everything up and just reformatting and say I did stufff).

I would say I'm moderate because there are some people I know that would just blow me out of the water with everything they can do.
