I like strolling through the forum and seeing all of the cool stuff you guys are able to come up with. The thought provoking questions and surprisingly solid answers make my job a hell of a lot easier.
Thanks guys!
This forum is responsible for most of my CMM programming knowledge. I've expanded over to .NET programming cuz of it and for about a year have been programming a 6 axis robot and PLC stuff.
This forum is responsible for all of my knowledge!
Which kind of has something to say in and of itself...
But I'm in the same boat
Kp61dude! ; This forum taught
(well, is teaching) me PC-DMIS, but I'm learning a bunch of other programming languages and techniques too.
BASIC, batch, VBS, heck, even Powershell and Python are thrown in the mix!
I'd love to program a robot though. Make a completely automated cell, with just a tray of parts or something. Click a button and measure a hundred parts over night
I'm a programmer at heart, I don't care if it's PC-DMIS or Perl!

I came from robotics into CMM; it's very easy to make the jump. Though all languages are good to learn, think about how you want to apply your programming knowledge in the future and work on learned the languages geared towards that.
I know SQL and .net because I wanted to get into web based applications.
I'm like you; the best info I've learned I've learned from this and that other forum.
I hear C# is pretty much the standard when it comes to basically anything Windows.
I like to have fun when I program. Making silly names, or just making something bad@$$. Playing around with Raspberry Pi's and IoT, running some BOEBots, FischerTechniks, I like writing something in a program and being able to see it interact with the physical world.
I'm all about automation, all about getting rid of humans, all about perfection! And Science! but mostly humans.
When I finish a program on the CMM, I like to run through it a few times just to admire my work, a "job well done" so to speak. It's really satisfying actually.
It could be the best program I've ever written, or garbage, but I made it and it works so it's awesome.

You guys ever get that feeling?
C# is your typical standalone application, yes. Any python will get you through your Raspberry3.14.
There is a certain satisfaction being able to hit a button and have the machine light up. I used to get that a lot more programming PLC's rather than CMM's.
You should look into PLC programming too... better pay most places, especially if you're willing to travel.
