What are your must have Windows utilities to help you with development? For me it's Unlocker
This is about general Windows utilities, nothing specific to any language.
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.
I just started my real development career and I want to know what set of tools/strategy that the community is using to write better quality code.
To start, I use
astyle to format my code
doxygen to document my code
gcc -Wall -Wextra -pedantic and clang -Wall -Wextra -pedantic to check all warnings
What tools/strategy do you use to write better code? This question is open to all language and all platform.
Hello
There are some simple entities in an application (e.g containing only id and title) which rarely change and are being referenced by the more complex entities of the application. These are usually entities such as Country, City, Language etc.
How are these called? I've used the following names for those in the past but I'm not sure which is the best way to call them:
reference data
lookup values
dictionaries
thanks
I last programmed actively in 2002. It is almost 8 years now. I learned C and then moved to Visual Basic for our thesis project in the university. I would like to ask suggestions on what programming language should I learn and put to profitability use in areas such as desktop applications, web development, and database applications.
hi
I want to implement Top-Down Parsing by c# language is there any source to show me the way. I mean good method and description to implement or algorithms.
I consider myself quite fluent in PHP and am rather familiar with nearly all of the important aspects and uses, as well as its pratfalls. This in mind, I think the major problem in taking on Perl is going to be with the syntax. Aside from this (a minor hindrance, really, as I'm rather sold on the fact that Perl's is far more readable), what are some key differences you think I should make myself aware of prior to taking on the language?
The good thing about books targeting a layman is that it is usually very engaging to read (not dry and boring like, say, school/university books).
Charles Petzold's Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software
does this for explaining the underlying hardware in computers.
Is there a similar book for understanding computer networking?
I have read a few questions here where people say that PHP is not the 'best' language for web development compared to python, ruby.
What about PHP makes it have such a bad rep?
I am wondering what the idiomatic way to render special language characters is using Handlebars.js templates. When I render the normal html I can use something like the Spanish lowercase e, é, and it renders as expected. When I pass the same text as a string to my Handlebars template I just see the characters é.
I have tried creating a Handlebars helper that used jquery to render the text using .html() then returning the .html() of the tmp element and I get the same results.
We're trying to script a cad program, and this is the example for controlling the date in our design slugs, but I don't even know what language it is to know what to do with it.

def &d$ &ret$
set &d$ = rstr(`/`,` `,#d$);
set &ret$ = word(&d$,2),`/`,word(&d$,1),`/`,subs(word(&d$,3), -2, 2)
I've been learning Lisp to expand my horizons because I have heard that it is used in AI programming. After doing some exploring, I have yet to find AI examples or anything in the language that would make it more inclined towards it.
Was Lisp used in the past because it was available, or is there something that I'm just missing?
We’ve got an interesting requirement that we’ll want to support multiple languages at runtime since we’re a service. If a user talks to us using Japanese or English, we’ll want to respond in the appropriate language. FxCop likes us to store our strings in resource files, but I was curious to know if there was an integrated way to select resource string at runtime without having to do it manually.
Bottom Line: We need to be able to support multiple languages in a single binary. :)
I was reading this article earlier regarding C/C#/PHP being dropped as first languages in Advanced Level (pre-university) Computer Science courses:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/05/12/aqa_c_php/
It also goes on to say:
Teachers planning to use Java are warned that many universities are
considering dropping it from their first year computer science programmes, "as has
happened n the US".
Does anybody know, what the language predominantly used in US first year Comp Science programs is currently?
I do have a whole bunch of files in a directory and from every file I want to remove the first line (including carriage return). I can read the whole file into an array of strings and write all but the first element to a new file, but that looks a bit cumbersome to me are there better ways? Oh the prefered language is Perl.
Hi, I am planning to participate in development of a code written in C language for Monte Carlo analysis of complex problems. This codes allocates huge data arrays in memory to speed up its performance, therefore the author of the code has chosen C instead of C++ claiming that one can make faster and more reliable (concerning memory leaks) code with C.
Do you agree with that? What would be your choice, if you need to store 4-16 Gb of data arrays in memory during calculation?
hi,
i have a requirement to read data from a gif. The gif is exported from a Bloomberg terminal and contains Stock Prices. Is there anyway of reading the Stock Prices off this gif?
I'd prefer to do it in C#, but if there is any other programming language that is recommended, i would be grateful if you can share that with me.
regards
Anyone have a good reference guide for GQL (query language for google appengine datastore)?
I find the reference guide on the google appengine site very limited with examples
I was just wondering, what could possibly be the largest amout of code possible to write a Hello, World! program, without repeating code, without any whitespace, as few newlines as possible, whitout code that doesn't need to be there, and not written in 'Shakespeare'?
Programming language doesn't matter ^^
I ask this question because the international standardization subcommittee for programming languages, or ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22 Programming languages, states on this page:
http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG14/www/standards
that Technical Corrigendum 3, the latest one, was published in 2007. Now I take it that this means the C language it self was changed and that the books and tutorials pre-2007 may contain outdated information. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks,
Adam
I am using below code for javascript window "Yes/No". It is firing twice. Is there any way I can avoid this? Or use any other code?. I need this code behind.
Response.Write("<script language='javascript'> { self.close() }</script>");
What is the meaning of "parallel software" and what are the differences between "parallel software" and "regular software"?
What are its advantages and disadvantages?
Does writing "parallel software" require a specific hardware or programming language ?
If i check redis php supported language (http://code.google.com/p/redis/wiki/SupportedLanguages), there's 4 PHP ones: Redis PHP Bindings,phpredis,Predis,Redisent.
Question is, which is the best and good to use?
Thanks!
