• Could I be writing this code better?

  - by Ben Dauphinee

  Is there any website out there somewhere where a programmer such as myself might be able to post pieces of code to be looked at by more experienced people? I am thinking of something that programmers could use to have advice given on how to improve their ability. I really like the atmosphere here, but am not sure that posting code for review here is appropriate.

• Integrating lesser known e-payment gateways full of surprises?

  - by John

  I've integrated about half a dozen e-payment gateways, from popular ones (like paypal) to not-so popular ones. It seems every time I try to integrate a non-popular epayment gateway, I exceed my original time-estimation. I think I'm a decent programmer, but my time estimations probably needs work. Do other programmers run into many "surprises" when integrating e-payment gateways they've never heard of? Any advice will help. thanks

• What's the difference between logging and printing to the console

  - by Ankur

  This is kind of a philosophical question. Basically people often ask if I am logging - and since I am not a full time programmer, but someone who programs often but is actually more of a requirements analyst, I don't know all the best practices. I use Java a lot so I often do things like System.out.println() What's the difference in theory between the two? Ultimately aren't I also logging? Esp, if I prefix my comments with something like "ERROR:" or "WARN:" ?

• What is the most common song lyrics used for check-in notes in a version control system? [closed]

  - by Registered User

  What is the most common song lyrics used for check-in notes in a version control system? I usually fall back on David Bowie's Changes lyrics, but I've seen check-in descriptions from another programmer who liked to use random Nine Inch Nails and Stabbing Westward lyrics.

• Which computer assisted translation format should I use for a ColdFusion site?

  - by user284950

  I am creating a multilingual site that will need to support at minimum five different languages, including Korean and Chinese. The site language is ColdFusion, so Java is the native language. I want to make the site as easy as possible for the next programmer to update, and for third-party translators to use tools that will work easier for them than digging through a SQL database. So far I have come across Resource Bundles, GNU's GetText, and TMX. Which do you recommend and why?

• Has anyone "learned how to program in 21 days?"

  - by Sheehan Alam

  I'm not a fan of these learn how to program in X amount of days books. Some even boast, learn how to program in 24 hours. This is a joke and an insult to me as a software engineer who went through a rigorous discipline in computer science and mathematics. So a question to the community, have you benefited from these become a programmer quick books?

• Where to read about programming?

  - by minx

  I'm a programmer for some time now yet I haven't found the right websites which offer me the information I'm interested in. I've looked at TechCrunch, Slashdot, etc. but there wasn't so much actually about programming. When something urgently important happens in the programming world, where could I read it first? What are some good sites/communities around programming?

• What was the single byte change to port WordStar from CP/M to DOS?

  - by amarillion

  I was re-reading Joel's Strategy Letter II: Chicken and Egg problems and came across this fun quote: In fact, WordStar was ported to DOS by changing one single byte in the code. (Real Programmers can tell you what that byte was, I've long since forgotten). I couldn't find any other references to this with a quick Google search. Is this true or just a figure of speech? In the interest of my quest to become a "Real Programmer", what was the single byte change?

• We all know "stereotypes are bad". Why do programmers always seem to fit the "nerd" stereotype?

  - by ahplummer

  Being a programmer myself, and working around programmers of differing ages and skillsets, there seems to be a common thread: Nerdiness. I am guilty. But why? Why does this particular profession attract so may nerds?

• What can I do to avoid losing original resolution when uploading or exporting photos from Picasa?

  - by Janet Levin

  I'm not a programmer, and/but after multiple email discussions and google searches confirmed the problem I'm describing, and after making changes in picasa preferences with no change in resolution loss (from say, 800kb original image to 235kb after export or upload), I'm at a dead end and thinking the answer may lie among you folks, even though I barely understand the language here.

• Most interesting and challenging programming tasks

  - by dsimcha

  Some programmers enjoy optimizing code to make the implementation as fast as humanly possible; or golfing to make code as compact as possible. Others enjoy metaprogramming to make code generic, or designing algorithms to be asymptotically efficient. What do you find most interesting and challenging as a programmer?

• How does porting between Linux and Windows work?

  - by Matt

  If a particular piece of software is made to be run on one platform and the programmer/company/whatever wants to port it to the other, what exactly is done? I mean, do they just rewrite linux or windows-specific references to the equivalent in the other? Or is an entire rewrite necessary? Just trying to understand what makes it so cost-prohibitive that so many major vendors don't port their software to Linux (specifically thinking about Adobe) Thanks

  Hello, Where can I find an overview (website) of best practices for implementing an Access (2007) application (with a FE/BE architecture) regarding to security, performance and maintainability? I know about designing tables, queries, forms and so on and I'm a reasonable programmer, but I'm wondering what's the "best" and most efficient way to implement my "application".

• How to find out if an object is of <type> or a decendant of <type>

  - by Vaccano

  I have the following code: foreach (var control in this.Controls) { } I want to do something like control.Hide() in there. But the items in the this.Controls collection are not of type Control (they are Object). I can't seem to remember the safe way to cast this to call hide if it is really of type Control and do nothing otherwise. (I am a transplanted delphi programmer and I keep thinking something like control is Control.)

  Hi, I am mainly a windows programmer and need to ask this to Mac experts. Is there a way to set "Keep in Dock" setting while installing AIR app in Mac? So that when user does a quit from the dock menu the app remains there, unless user does a "Remove from dock" manually, instead of the default where user has to do a "Keep in Dock" manually.
