I am a Java EE developer working mainly with JSPs, Servlets, and frameworks like Spring.
Will learning PHP be a wise decision ?
What would PHP offer me ?
I'm keen to get started experimenting with gzip, but like i used to find php.net when i first started learning php, the apache documentation confuses me a bit. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_deflate.html
I'd really appreciate a sample htaccess file to have a look at if anyone's got one?
Also are there things which should be changed in the htconf file instead of htaccess if I'm enabling gzipping server-wide?
Sorry i'm a newb with apache!
I work on a project and want to use an ORM. What should I use: Linq to Sql or Entity Framework? Linq to Sql provides more opportunities, as I see, for example support for enumeration types. However, also it is said that, Linq to Sql was for playing and learning for Linq and future strategy of Microsoft lies on Entity Framework. So which one should I use?
I've noticed many questions on here from new programmers that can be solved using libraries. When a library is suggested, often times they respond "I don't want to use X library" Is it the learning curve? or ? Just curious!
I'm new to unit testing, and I'm learning how to use NUnit and Moq. NUnit provides Assert syntax for testing conditions in my unit tests, while Moq provides some Verify functions. To some extent these seem to provide the same functionality.
How do I know when it's more appropriate to use Assert or Verify?
Maybe Assert is better for confirming state, and Verify is better for confirming behavior (Classical versus Mockist)?
I am just learning objective-c but can't figure out whats wrong with my code
Code:
NSMutableDictionary *myDic = [NSDictionary dictionary];
[myDic setObject:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.apple.com"] forKey:@"Apple"];
Hi Currently we just start releasing modules for a big project in MVVM but seems like the deliverables are starting to encounter a slowness with this model, such things as the learning curve effort and the fact that mvvm do requires a bit more code than other patterns, What Programming and software engineering techniques do you employ or thing could help us reduce the effort and speed up development?
things like code generation with T4 templates, ligth MVVM frameworks, use Expression Blend, hire a designer to hanle UX.
Thanks for any advice you could provide.
I remember doing some css learning where i learned to make text-decoration: blink, and the text started blinking.
Now i have a icon,
.iconPM{
background: url(../images/icons/mail_16x16.png) no-repeat;
width: 16px;
height: 16px;
border: none;
display:inline-block;
}
Wonder if i can make this blink, either by simple css or jquery if required. Or maybe any other nice effects available in jquery recommended
Well i'm learning Python cuz' i think is an awesome and powerful language like C++, perl or C# but is really really easy at same time. I'm using JetBrains' Pycharm and when i define a function it ask me to add a "Documentation String Stub" when i click yes it adds somethin like this:
"""
"""
so the full code of the function is something like this:
def otherFunction(h, w):
"""
"""
hello = h
world = w
full_word = h + ' ' + w
return full_word
I would like to know what these (""" """) symbols means, Thanks.
Ps.Data: Sorry for my bad english :D
I've used coldfusion for sending text emails for years. I'm not interested in learning how to send those pretty emails you see from companies like Mint.
Anyone know of a good Coldfusion tutorial to teach me how to make this work and not get hit by bugs or spam filters?
Thxs
I love iPython and am learning RoR along with some libraries like Mechanize and I'd like to be able to easily see what I'm working with in terms of introspection. I would like to be able to type "." + TAB and see.
jQuery made javascript so easy for me, I was able to get up and running in a couple of hours doing most tasks.
Which PHP framework has similar ease of use and rapid development/write less ability? Or am I stuck basically learning a new language no matter what framework I decide on?
I'm interest in learning how to use jquery comet to create real-time multi-user note taking like etherpad used to offer.
Can anyone offer any tips/tutorials/plug-ins... to point me in the right direction?
Thanks
i was learning about c++ pointers... so the "-" operator seemed strange to me... instead of
ptr-hello();
one could write
(*ptr).hello();
because it also seems to work, so i thought the former is just a more convenient way
is that the case or is there any difference?
I'm using the WCF Rest service application project template in visual studio. I'm just learning about REST, and I was wondering how I would post a SampleItem object to the following method:
[WebInvoke(UriTemplate = "", Method = "POST")]
public SampleItem Create(SampleItem instance)
{
// TODO: Add the new instance of SampleItem to the collection
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
I get the general concepts of gets for the purposes of grabbing data, but I'm not sure how I would post the object in code (or just through a browser for testing) to the service.
Hi,
Im learning device driver programming in Linux. And I'm wondering where I could the IRQ number in the request_irq function.
int request_irq (unsigned int irq, void (*handler) (int, void *, struct pt_regs *), unsigned long irqflags, const char *devname, void *dev_id);
In the irq parameter, what value or where could I find that value to put in the request_irq function?
Thanks
Hi I'm learning django and I did successfully start a site on Window XP by following the tutorial.
However, on Window 7 when I issued:
django-admin.py startproject mysite
python.exe was started and a window appeared to ask me to choose either python.exe or other program to open a file....
did I do anthing wrong or there are more tricks for window 7?
thanks.
Why do we have commands like push and pop?
From what I understand pop and push are basically the same as doing a (mov then add) and (sub then mov) on esp respectively.
For example wouldn't:
pushl %eax
be equivalent to:
subl $4, %esp
movl %eax, (%esp-4)
please correct me if stack access is not (%esp-4), I'm still learning assembly
The only true benefit I can see is if doing both operation simultaneously offers some advantage; however I don't see how it could.
I am learning about heuristics and computer programming - which means 1. the shortest cut to the goal and 2. the estimated cost to the goal. However, I am not in a nutshell how to figure out the estimated cost to a goal. Any gurus able to lend their time would be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
Have You got any tutorials, books, any good resources to start creating mobile games using silverlight ?
Maybe any good resource on writing 2d games in silverlight for pc?
Ay way do You think that its worth learning it or any other technology would be better and have probably shinier future ?
I'm interested in learning about what additional features and APIs an app has access to when an iPhone is jailbroken. Can someone provide me with some basic resources to learn about this? I would be most interested in:
documentation on the private APIs
filesystem layout
app configuration, e.g. how did WinterBoard replace SpringBoard? Apps that replace the lockscreen?
tools needed
Suggestions appreciated.
I've been using CakaPHP and Kohanaphp but now I want to try out other frameworks from a more sophisticated OOP language for my next projects.
How can I learn the following frameworks quickly so I can immediately pick what to use:
Pylons
Sinatra
Ramaze
Tutorials and examples from online resources would really be great.
For php developers who've already underwent this learning experience, please share yours.
Thanks
Anyone have any advice for learning to program a 20 questions game?
Something that could learn in the future but doesn't necessarily need to learn right away.
I am learning c++. Just curious, can only Static and constant varibles be assigned a value from within the class declaration ?? is this mainly why when you assign values to normal members, they have a special way doing it
void myClass::Init():member1(0), member2(1)
{
}
