Skills

Computer languages

Language	Skill	Description	Comment
`Adobe Flash`	0		Not in use, dead language.
`AutoIT`	4		Good for small Windows GUI programs or windows automation programs.
`BASH`	3	`Bourne-again shell`	My favorite shell scripting language on Linux.
`Blitz Basic`	1		Not in use, the worst BASIC like language for game programming.
`C++`	3		Currently, my most favorite programming language, used for cross-platform purposes, game programming and everything that must be ultra-fast.
`C#`	3	`C-Sharp`	Easy to learn, very much the same as Java, but allows things that are forbidden in Java.
`CSS`	3	`Cascading Style Sheets`	The number one for content styling on webpages.
`Delphi`	1		This language is a pure time waste, because of its licensing model.
`GLSL`	1	`OpenGL Shading Language`	I'm using this to create post-processing shaders for games.
`HLSL`	0	`High Level Shading Language`	Very similar to GLSL, but for DirectX and not cross-platform.
`INI`	5	`INItialization file`	My favorite configuration format, easy to read, easy to use, easy to process (Wrote libraries for this in few programming languages).
`Java`	3		This is the language I can recommend to anyone who wants to learn programming.
`JS`	4	`JavaScript`	This is the best language I know, f.e. stuff like this is possible: `<code>function(){return function(){return true;};}();</code>`
`JSON`	5	`JavaScript Object Notation`	This data format is my first choice, because it has a very small structural overhead and can be processed by JavaScript directly.
`MongoDB`	2		A scheme-free, document oriented NoSQL database system.
`MySQL`	3		Most common relational database system.
`PHP`	4	`PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor`	That's what I use for website programming, when HTML, CSS, and JavaScript isn't enough. It's the first language I've learned to program.
`Postgres`	0	`PostgreSQL`	This is an object relational database system I want to learn in the future, because it seems to combine the advantages of SQL and NoSQL.
`Rust`	2		C was the language from the past 40 years, Rust will be the language for the next 40 years.
`SQLite`	4		Very much the same as MySQL, but ultraportable, because it's just one file.
`TOML`	1	`Tom's Obvious Minimal Language`	The INI format on steroids.
`Windows Batch`	4		Most chaotic and confusing syntax i know from a non-esoteric scripting language.
`(x)HTML`	5	`(Extensible) Hypertext Markup Language`	Website development from HTML4 up to HTML5.
`XML`	5	`Extensible Markup Language`	When I can do HTML, I can also do XML. I don't like it, because of its structural inefficiency.
`XPath`	3	`XML Path Language`	This allows me to select XML content similar to how I select styles with CSS.
`XSLT`	3	`XSL Transformation`	If I want to display XML data in a human-readable format (f.e. as Webpage), I will use XSLT.
`XSPF`	4	`XML Shareable Playlist Format`	My favorite data format to describe music playlists.
`YAML`	4	`YAML Ain't Markup Language`	The data format I use when human readability and usability stays on foreground.

Programming concepts

Concept	Skill	Description	Comment
`AJAX`	3	`Asynchronous JavaScript and XML`	This concept allows me to program interactive websites.
`DRY principle`	4	`Don't repeat yourself`	A principle that just means, don't repeat the same code over and over again.
`Infinite Monkey Formulars`	5		A simple concept that avoids refilling a whole web form again, when anything of the input is invalid.
`Aspect oriented programming`	3		Often using that concept to do error logging in very complex programs.
`Functional programming`	2		Good for sorting data, to separate things into smaller pieces.
`Header Input Process Output`	3		One of many conventions, how you can document your program code. Not very modern but very verbose.
`HIPO model`	3	`Hierarchy Plus Input−Process−Output`	Used to describe or document complex logic in a graphical diagram.
`KISS principle`	3	`Keep it simple stupid`	A principle that just means, to keep things as simple as possible.
`MVC pattern`	4	`Model View Controller`	Concept to plan and structure big programs that must be very maintainable and extensible.
`Modular programming`	4		A way of structuring bigger projects.
`Object-oriented programming`	4	`OOP`	Works very well in almost all projects.
`Procedural programming`	4		Good for small projects.
`Reddick Naming Convention`	3		A very good variable naming convention that includes the data type. Today I only use it to name GUI variables.
`RegExp`	3	`Regular Expression`	This is a very mighty tool to f.e. find patterns or to validate the structural correctness in text.
`Recursion`	4		That's what I do, when i f.e. display the tree structure of a file system directory.
`Test driven development`	3	`TDD`	Simply means every code piece also has test code to validate the functionality and correctness.
`Uniform Resource Identifier`	4	`URI`	Describes f.e. the structure of web addresses.
