Figuring out the language that you are working with should be pretty easy. If you provide some context that should be clear to figure out. Where are you working on this code, where are you getting it from? What tools are you using?
If it's a web page, they could just post a "view source" capture, right?

Or post a link to the page.
I promise i wont spam ya.

The last time someone did that their server crashed.
It was a fishing article, if I remember.

Yes, I can't have this happen, my work would KILL ME! I was thinking of moving towards the Google reCAPTCHA since they posted a somewhat easy tutorial here: http://webdesign.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-integrate-no-captcha-recaptcha-in-your-website--cms-23024
I think this one is easy enough to use. Has anyone had experience using this CAPTCHA method?

@JessWaterfordTech that example shows PHP. Is that the language that you are using?

I'm sorry for this question: How do I determine what language my site uses? I am learning as I go and have not been formally trained on how to perform theses tasks.

This is a fairly tough thing to answer. Tell us what you know about the site. Maybe we can figure it out. But this is step one to doing anything, without knowing the language, you have nothing to start on. You can't write or edit your first line of code without knowing what you are editing. Have you seen the site's code yet? Where did the site come from?

Look what we found in a box today.

You can try http://builtwith.com/ to find out what is the site built with.

AWESOME FIND!!!!
@Ambarishrh I have ruled out PHP as the language since I do not see any PHP tags or writing at the top of the pages. I'll check out the site you referenced and see if that helps any. Thanks!!!

Pages? You don't look at the GUI to find the language. That might tip you off, but there is no guarantees. You have to look at the code of the site, not the code of the interface. You need to be on the server looking at what makes the pages.

@Ambarishrh based off of builtwith.com I am working with ASP.NET

That's a start. So that still leaves you with dozens of language choices like Perl, Python, F#, Ruby and more. But 99% of the time the site that is ASP.NET will be built with C# or VB.NET. So you'll need to look at the code to determine which one, but C# looks like Java and VB.NET looks like it was written by a little kid, so they are pretty easy to tell apart
No seriously, they look nothing alike, so it's normally super easy to tell.
