Microsoft SQL, Visual Basic, Visual C#, HTML, DOS scripting and some Java. I'm mainly a SQL developer and database administrator, but I'm up to any challenge.

Going to carbon-date myself here: I learned Fortran. On the day of our final exam, it was completely replaced in lieu of new, faster, simpler languages.

MAJ Robert (Bob) Petrarca - it sure was a blast compared to hand punching data cards to get simple math done on a computer - you could even play Star Wars on it (text based game with multiple choice actions, back in the day when you had to envision the map in your head, or draw it out on graph paper)

CPT Brent Ferguson & MAJ Robert (Bob) Petrarca, an archeologist will, one day, discover those punch cards --and they'll be mistaken for ballots from Dade County, Florida. ;)
