It has come to my attention that a large number of our group are capable of some form of programming. So I wish to see how lopsided our community is.

By know I mean, "able to write a 'small' stand-alone program in the language," as per the suggestion of Lanthanide.

You forgot Pascal. The first language I seriously programmed in.
I "know" (can write simple programs) C / C++, however oftentimes when I read sources for more complicated programs I have no clue what they're trying to do, so I'm not sure if that counts, but I ticked it regardless.

I had to erase a few that I would have liked to explicitly mention because polls only allowed me to select 10 as the maximum number of picks.

I could probably look at any source code aside from Assembly and know what's going on, but that doesn't mean I would be able to use the language.

I know C# and dabbled a bit in Actionscript prior to learning C#.

I would personally have used a definition of "know" as "able to write a 'small' stand-alone program in the language". With your existing definition I could have ticked C# (but didn't).

I don't really consider html a "programming language" when it stands for HyperText Markup Language

html master race!

For the "Other" vote, I know some Scheme, which is a dialect of LISP.

It's too closely related to leave out.

I've used python, basic, and MAYBE C for two weeks each, but that was years ago. I wouldn't say I remember much at all. Does that qualify?

Oh, then put me down for almost everything. That's an awful place to draw the line. By "know," I will assume you mean minimum that I could create a functional program or website with a scope similar to Sen using the technologies.

I'm pretty proficient in C# and Java. HTML/CSS isn't really a programming language, as xboi mentioned (or else I could say I'm also an XML and JSON "programmer"). I "know" JavaScript (more like jQuery and Ajax), and I'm quite familiar with T-SQL. I've worked with PHP before, but I disliked it and never picked it back up.

I much prefer learning and practicing architectural patterns over actual languages, though.

I use jquery a lot over regular javascript, I think of it as the lazy version of javascript

Updated the polls and changed the prerequisites to Lanthanide's suggestion.

I've worked with quite a few languages when I think about it...I wouldn't call myself an expert at any of them though, although once I worked out the basics of one it was pretty easy learning others.

I got a feeling.....wooohoooo..... that tonight html is gonna rule

As a point of conversation....what language is the 'easiest' to learn of these (after html/css). I am interested in learning server administration and database administration, and I think I know what languages are associated with those (like SQL), but I want a good place to start, and resources that would allow me to teach myself or self pace the courses. I'd like to go to school, but unless I find a weekend course I am not holding my breath. I taught myself HTML and CSS using trial and error and http://www.w3schools.com/ .

I used HTML Dog to learn HTML/CSS, and it's pretty damn good. It seems like PHP is the next thing for me to jump on -- and that really introduces you into real programming.

Alright, what's the best tool to learn PHP? There are a lot of resources out there for it. :s

Forgot to check other.
I know COBOL which isn't on the list.

I know a bit of LaTeX, but not enough to state that I truly know it...
I only used it to hand in my solutions for practice tasks. It was using a given template for the most part. :S

edit:
I don't "know" assembly that much that I can write a standalone program, but I know the basic instructions and wrote short programs in school.

I'm sorry. Did you actually have to try to use it?
