And yeah, a real API for apps would be awesome, because I think there are far more of us that would be able to code something with an API that are a little out of our depth when we have to do the memory address hunt and peck.
I attempted that, see: http://www.dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/User:Jifodus/Dwarf_Fortress_Utility_Framework

However, at the moment, it's currently on my backburner pending a working automatic address locator; since I learned that maintaining the complex structure format was a real pain. OTOH, it also was the most flexible, and an easy-to-use engine.

Self-taught C, C++, PHP, Perl, all of which was expanded upon by currently attending College.  Thanks to school, I also know Javascript, HTML, CSS, and M68000 assembly.

I am also capable of adapting to and learning any language put in front of me within a few weeks at most.

Currently, in regards to APIs, I am mostly self-teaching myself the OpenGL API currently.  I am also looking into Linux software development and other more complex things.

C++ and Python, self taught and a bit of schooling.  Just finished making the Python UI for Civilization4: Colonization.  Would love to re-write this game UI from scratch.  The pages and pages of responses are rather clear that this game attracts a programmers like a moth to a flame (learned about it myself from another programmer as I suspect many others have).

There are really two types of gamers, those that love destruction, and those that love creation. The latter seem to be much less common, which is why DF is such a Niche game.

I like to build things to blow them up. I actualy planed to make a game where you build a structure, then people and explosives are randomly placed, then you take responsibility for guiding a character trough the inferno to help survivers.

Self taught mishmash of web and application languages (no database languages yet though now that I am learning PHP I need to change that).

Aspiring programmer here.

I've done things primarily with Java, I'm learning C++, C# and Python though. I also know a good bit of SQL.

I've forgotten more about programming than I'll probably ever relearn.

That being said, I downloaded Visual Studio 2008 Express C++ and the DirectX SDK the other day, so maybe its time to test that theory.

Not programming much at the moment, but I've been a programmer for 20 or so years, the last 10 in professional game development (N64, PS1-3, Xbox, 360). Primarily C++.
