I am looking for good beginners material on Prolog, both online and printed. I am not only interested in 'learning the language' but also in background and scientific information.
I am programming in Ruby and have wanted to learn about matrices but I can't find any resources for actually learning about them. Are there any good tutorials on matrices and programming? It would be nice if it would be in ruby but other languages are fine too.
I'm trying to choose a tool for creating UML diagrams of all flavours. Usability is a major criteria for me, but I'd still take more power with a steeper learning curve and be happy. Free (as in beer) would be nice, but I'd be willing to pay if the tool's worth it. What should I be using?
I was working with the Action Delgates in C# in the hope of learning more about them and thinking where they might be useful.
Has anybody used the Action Delgate, and if so why? or could you give some examples where it might be useful?
What are the best resources do you recommend for learning php debugging?
Is there any specific book, screencast, blog post or article that you really found useful?
In my search for a good, freely available resource that will teach me C++ I stumbled on http://www.learncpp.com/.
My question is for intermediate to experienced C++ programmers...
Does this site seem to be a good resource for a beginner to learn C++ from?
I've gone through the first few section of the site, and I feel like I am starting to grasp the language, but being a beginner in C++ I really could be learning things all wrong and have no idea.
Hello,
i'm building my first RIA in flex, and did a little of research to find a radar chart component free, but all i found is not free (licence 500$).

Thanks
I've been playing around with C# console applications for about a year and I want to move on to creating GUI applications. I have never done any GUI development besides basic Java applications, but I want to continue using C#. Should I start learning Windows Forms or jump straight to WPF? Is there a huge difference? Does WPF build on top of Windows Forms or are they totally different?
I'm keen on learning about bioinformatics.
I am ideally looking for a short course introduction, with some practical tasks I can get my teeth into immediately to see if there is any interest in it for me.
I already have a good understanding of molecular biology, so I should be able to skip most of the foundational work.
Any suggestions?
From an asp.net perspective (C#)

How can I start to use SQL with Visual Studio. I use it just for SQL learning .
I don't want to install a big pack of SQL server 2005 :)
Can I ?
thanks in advance for reading this :)
Let's not go so far as to say that I'm paranoid, but I've been spending hour after hour learning how to prevent SQL injections (and XSS for what it's worth).
What I'm wondering is that a SQL injection doesn't seem like it would do permanent harm to my database if I've made daily backups. Doesn't importing yesterday's copy of my tables just restore them and then I can be on my merry way?
Are there any good tutorials or resources online for learning HTML5? I already know HTML I am just looking to learn about the other things in HTML5.
Thanks in advance!
I'm sorry for asking yet another "best [insert-technology] book".
I know a bit of MVC, I want to start a project in MVC 2 and a good book would be really helpful.
Usually, after a while, people come to a consensus what are the top 2-3 books for learning a given technology.
Have you read any ASP.NET MVC 2.0 book? If so, how was it?
I'm learning traditional Relational Databases (with PostgreSQL) and doing some research I've come across some new types of databases. CouchDB, Drizzle, and Scalaris to name a few, what is going to be the next database technologies to deal with?
I'm going through a phase where I'm not being productive at all. I find it hard to justify to myself getting paid six figures to sit in front of my computer and act busy. Management is completely disengaged, and the users as well. What do you do in this type of situation? I've taken to learning some deeper aspects of .Net and software construction in general, but don't like the feeling that I'm stiffing my employer.
Sorry if this is quite noobish to you, but I'm just starting out to learn Python after learning C++ & Java, and I am wondering how in the world I could just declare variables like id = 0 and name = 'John' without any int's or string's in front! I figured out that perhaps it's because there are no ''s in a number, but how would Python figure that out in something like def increase(first, second) instead of something like int increase(int first, int second) in C++?!
I want to write a custom DVD player using python that plays for 30 seconds, then pauses and asks a question. Once the question is anwered, it tells the user if they are right or wrong and gives them a Resume button to resume DVD playback. How do I do this. I have never written a DVD player before, but I am open to learning!
Hi,
I am learning some embedded programming. I am using Linux as my platform and I want to create a daemon program that will check if a particular device(magstrife, keypad, etc) is active. Like for example, my daemon program is running in the background, then when I make a keypress event, my deamon app will do something.
What implementation should I do to create this app? And how can I check the event of the devices?
Thanks.
Hi All,
I am learning memory references pertaining to Operating systems and don't seem to get to the crux of understanding it.
For example, I am not able to visualize this scenario properly: "A 36 bit address employs both paging and segmentation. Both PTE and STE are 4 bytes each". How are they related?
I can guess that this question might be too simple for many. But any help understanding the above basic concept would be appreciable.

When I was learning Visual Basic.net 2008 I found a book that not only taught the basics but by the end of the book I had developed a fully working database application. Does anyone know where I might find a simular book but using Visual C++?
I am intrigued by stack-based languages like Forth. Are there situations where Forth is the best tool for the job or is it just an intellectual and historical curiosity? What about derivative languages like Factor or Joy? Which of these languages would you recommend learning? And for what purpose (apart from mind expansion)?
Where do filesystems like Reiser, NFS, etc store the file tables? We're looking at writing our own filesystem, and wondering if we should use a single file to hold it all using btree's or use something out there.
Any advice? This is more a learning exercise than anything.
I have this new project I need to build. I want to have at least started on it by the end of this month. So which version should I use though? Should I just stick with the stable Rails2 or try to use Rails3 so I won't have to migrate later? Which one would you suggest for someone that is still learning Rails?
