I have a quadcore processor and I would really like to take advantage of all those cores when I'm running quick simulations. The problem is I'm only familiar with the small Linux cluster we have in the lab and I'm using Vista at home.
What sort of things do I want to look into for multicore programming with C or Java? What is the lingo that I want to google?
Thanks for the help.
What are some fun programming languages to learn and work with? I'm asking this for absolutely no practical purpose other than just to learn something new. So, what are some fun languages?
I already know Python and C# so those don't count (although Python would probably be the first language I'd recommend). I've spent some time with Ruby, but I don't really see anything that's a whole lot different from Python.
(and no, I'm not going to learn Intercal or Brainf*ck before you mention it)
Hey. I'm a software and web developer for ~3 years, and I want to start learning 3D network game programming.
What is the most modern & fastest way to write 3D PC games? What language? For graphics, should I use a graphics API like Direct3D/OpenGL or is there something less painful?
What math/physics skills should I know before starting?
Thank you.
hi, i am creating ( researching possibility of ) a highly customizable python client and would like to allow users to actually edit the code in another language to customize the running of program. ( analogous to browser which itself coded in c/c++ and run another language html/js ). so my question is , is there any programming language implemented in pure python which i can see as a reference ( or use directly ? ) -- i need simple language ( simple statements and ifs can do )
Can anyone point to programming language which has python-like syntax, but from the very beginning was designed to generate native code? I'm aware of Boo only, but it uses .net, not native code generation. Well, if nothing else than python-like languages which generate .net/java bytecode are fine too.
I was wondering (if possible) if there was a program/tool/utility that when I create a new file and provide it with an extension that it creates the tags automatically?
For example, a new file I create called index.php would have the appropriate tags auto-generated inside:
<?php
?>
I hope you get the idea. Does one, or could one, exist, preferably Windows based?
Any information regarding this would be helpful.

What are the best IDE's / IDE plugins / Tools, etc for programming with CUDA / MPI etc?
I've been working in these frameworks for a short while but feel like the IDE could be doing more heavy lifting in terms of scaling and job processing interactions.
(I usually use Eclipse or Netbeans, and usually in C/C++ with occasional Java, and its a vague question but I can't think of any more specific way to put it)
I working as an IT consultant and I am currently doing functional stuff like requirements gathering, documentations and writing test specs etc.
I kind of sick of this kind of job scope and wish to do more programming/ design / technical stuff.
Because I get more satisfaction doings the things rather than telling other to do
Anyone in the same dilemma as me and any suggestions on how to get on with working life?
Hello,
In your experience, what is the best web programming language used to handle sorting and comparison of very large lists (ie tens of thousands of email addresses)?
I am most familiar with PHP. I think that it could get the job done, but I'm unsure of other languages and if there might be a bettor suitor.
Thanks!
When you first started to write program, what was the first programming language you learned?
Please don't post repeats. If someone already posted it, just vote for it.
Is there a way to describe the feature of a programming language that allows you to do something like the following:
$foo = return_an_array()[0];
I love this feature in python, and I hate that it's missing in PHP. Is there a name for this?
Besides Arduino, what other ways are there to learn hardware programming in a hands-on way? Are there any nifty kits available, either a pre-assembled robot, that you can program to move a certain way, or do certain things, or anything similar to that?
I'm doing a bit more statistical analysis on some things lately, and I'm curious if there are any programming languages that are particularly good for this purpose. I know about R, but I'd kind of prefer something a bit more general-purpose (or is R pretty general-purpose?).
What suggestions do you guys have? Are there any languages out there whose syntax/semantics are particularly oriented towards this? Or are there any languages that have exceptionally good libraries?
Most people would probably answer with "You won't build a house using only a hammer", but my argument against this is:
There is also only one real mathematical language used for everything from chemical to architectural calculations, and as programming-languages are in many ways similar to maths, why should it be so different with them?
Being a C#/Java programmer, I really need to know a fact: Has Windows Programming with Win32SDK/MFC/wxWidget become antiquated?
What is the status of popularity of these technologies in software industry now?
Being a C#/Java programmer, do I need to learn Win32SDK/MFC/wxWidget now?
We need to write a script that needs to process movies (using C-based ffmpeg) and also update our databases. Also there would be some thread programming to accomplish with a worker-manager design. I am thinking of writing this in Ruby is there any good language to do this, if so what is its primary advantage for choosing?
We are based on the Mac platform.
Thanks in advance.
Is there a plugin for Visual Studio C++ 2008/2010 express edition just like wave-vs.net live pair programming program? Or do I have to download and install the full version of Visual Studio?
Who here is both a musician and a programmer?
I would also be curious to know which instruments you play, the ages at which you started programming and playing music, your personal experiences, etc. Perhaps we can find a relationship between these two things.
I'll begin:
Piano since 10, Computer since 12, I am 21.

I guess the question is self-explanatory, but I'm wondering whether HTML qualifies as a programming language (obviously the "L" stands for language).
The reason for asking is more pragmatic—I'm putting together a resume and don't want to look like a fool for listing things like HTML and XML under languages, but can't figure out how to classify them.
Hi.
Scala implicits are very powerfull. I'm curious if they are a new/unique feature of Scala, or the concept already existed in other programming languages.
Thanks.
Note: I have used the tag "implicit" instead of "implicits" because it doesn't exists and I can't create new tags...
I'm really interested if someone knows a programming language that uses an image like Smalltalk...
I think that is one of the greatest ides in the history of computer science.. I can not find other language besides Smalltalk that is base on an image.
Is there a functional-programming equivalent to the Gang of Four Design Patterns book? That is, is there a book that explains and gives examples of how commonly-needed code structures are implemented functionally? I think seeing that would give me a better idea of how to go about using in practice the functional concepts whose theory I understand.
