What's the worst shortcut you have in your "muscle memory"?
For example, mine is CTRL-L: compiles the current object in Sybase Powerbuilder, but deletes the current line in Visual Studio.

I am lucky in the sense that I have been given the opportunity to be a 'Technical Troubleshooter' for our offshore development team. While I am confident and capable of dealing with most issues, I have come across something that I am not. Based on initial discussions with various team members both…

Hi guys,
I am thinking about implementing a programm with finite state automaton in an OOP language like Java or C++.
What would you think is the best way to implement this with a manageable amount of available states, regarding to good software design?
Is it good to implement for each state an…

Hello,
I just asked a question that helps about using generics (or polymorphism) to avoid duplication of code. I am really trying to follow the DRY principle.
So I just ran into the following code...
Sub OutputDataToExcel()
OutputLine("Output DataBlocks", 1)

Sorry to ask a subjective question, but I would welcome some advice. I am an experienced programmer of embedded s/w, but haven't done much network programming, although I have done a fair bit of hobbyist PHP.
Anyway, I have to develop what is probably a fairly general type of app, as shown in this…

I've been using the default gnome terminal but I've reached a point where I'd really like to get my terminal tricked out so that my common tasks are as easy as possible. Specifically, I find…

I have always been skeptical of rewriting working code - porting code is no exception to this. However, with the advent of TDD and automated testing it is much more reasonable to rewrite and refactor code.
Does anyone know if there is a TDD tool that can be used for porting old code? Ideally you…

This is very basic question from programming point of view but as I am in learning phase, I thought I would better ask this question rather than having a misunderstanding or narrow knowledge about the topic.
So do excuse me if somehow I mess it up.
Question:
Let's say I have class A,B,C and D…

Is there an accepted general term that subsumes the concepts of variables, class instances and arrays? Basically "any typed thing that needs memory". In C++, such a thing is called an object, but I'm looking for a more language-agnostic term.
§ 1.8 The C++ object model
1 The constructs in…

A lot of the code I've been working on recently, both professionally (read: at work) and in other spheres (read: at home, for friends/family/etc, or NOT FOR WORK), has been worked on, redesigned and re-implemented several times - where possible/required. This has been in an effort to make things smaller…
