Hello. I just wanted to ask about the best C# book you've ever read and is a must for every C# programmer.
But please keep in mind:
- Only one book per answer.
- Check for duplicates before posting.
Is it harder (or impossible) to implement mutation testing in some languages than others? For example, is it possible to implement mutation testing in functional programming languages?
My application is a non-relational database application with a tcl interface to retrieve data. I would like to add SQL programming interface to my application.
Is there any library that converts SQL/PLSQL statements to API calls? It should also support stored procedures.
SQLite(Embedded) has 'virtual table' mechanism that suits my requirement but it lacks stored procedure feature.

Is it possible to write in C programming language everything that you could write in other languages such as Java, C# or C++. If that's the case why don't schools these days teach C instead of Java?
Ok the main reason why I am asking is because I don't want to tie down to a single programming language and platform (.NET and C# or Obj-C and Cocoa). Perhaps I am confusing a programming language with a framework? If anyone could clarify all this for me, I'd certainly vote for your answer.
I've been a web developer for almost a decade. I've mostly used classic ASP/JavaScript and I'd like to move into Java based apps.
I have a decent understanding of Java itself (enough to know how to lookup what I don't know) and I spent some time doing minor work on a JSF/Spring/Hibernate app, but from what a trusted coworker told me, this application is the example of what not to do.
I want to learn the really hardcore stuff (EJBs, HA Clustering, etc), but I know I have to walk before I can run. Is the Sun Tutorial the best place to start? Or is there an definitive book (like K&R for C or Gang of Four for design patterns) that I should buy?
We all hear that math at least helps a little bit with programming. My question though, does English or other natural language skills help with programming? I know it has to help with technical documentation, but what about actual programming? Are certain constructs in a programming language also there in natural languages? Does knowing how to write a 20 page research paper help with writing a 20k loc programming project?
I am new to programming and I really want to improve my programming skills. As of right now, I am just reading books to learn. I can make basic sites using html,css,php,mysql. If I got a tutor, say just a experienced programmer who would like to teach me, would the money and time be worth it?
The cost is around $30/hour.
Or would just programming yourself and working with other like-minds(because I am in college) be the best way to learn?
Weird question but here it is. What are the programming concepts that were "automated" by modern languages? What I mean are the concepts you had to manually do before. Here is an example: I have just read that in C, you manually do garbage collection; with "modern" languages however, the language itself takes care of it. Do you know of any other, or there aren't any more?
I'm taking an introductory course about Artificial Intelligence. It's mainly a survey of famous techniques, without any practical laboratory or assignment, and seems quite pointless to me.
I want to buy a good book (read theoretical but practical at once) about Artificial Intelligence. Does anyone have some good direction to suggest?
Now I know that what can be computed or what cannot be computed?
So let me know about the undecidable problems in programming and compiler.How can we proof knowing something is impossible?
I already have a solid knowledge of Object-oriented PHP as well as HTML/Javascript/MySQL plus a basis in Java.
Now I would like to implement my projects in an efficient way, whether it is a web project in PHP or an Android application.
My problem is once my code gets bigger I start messing error handling, with form validation etc, and I guess its because of my poor basis in software architecture.
Thanks.
HI,
is it possible to really find useful tutorial and videos for learning programming languagesd in youtube? Could you recommend some channels?
I woule like to learn about: vim, svn, C++
Thanks
I've been a PHP programmer for 3 years. I really want to improve myself and I think reading more helps but I'm confused where to concentrate next. I have two choices, read more about DB design and advanced SQL or should I read Code Complete fully?
Do you know a good guide for Java, such as "dive into python" for python?
If I searched google I expect I would find tons of random guides, but trying them all until I found a good one could take ages... that's why I am asking: do you already know one in particular? one you KNOW is good?
I already know C, PHP and a bit of Python, if that matters.
I want to start learning Zend Framework. My only concern is that the most recent ZF book on Amazon with good reviews teaches version 1.8 of the framework, which is now about a year old. Do you think it would be a good idea to still pick up that book or is it too old now?
What are the legalities of letting someone borrow a book that you have purchased that so happens to be in PDF format with no DRM?
I know that I can lend a printed book to someone and this not infringe copyright, but a pdf?
I know that the thought police are going to be on my case about "no one here is a legal expert" or the "question can't be answered" or "controversial", But I would like to have the opportunity to at least surface the issue, and allow people to comment. I am not looking for point scoring on this, or even an answer, but as stackoverflow has a rather large technical savvy audience that would appreciate the question I think that it could be the next hurdle that will stop technical progress.
I want to improve my JavaScript so I thought it'd be a good idea to get a book on Object Oriented JavaScript. But I also use a lot of jQuery so I'm looking for a book that approached OO JavaScript from a jQuery point of view
Just got a chance to try out a cloud programming environment that let's you develop .net apps within the browser (http://coderun.com/ide/) I found it pretty interesting, since I was able to develop a mockup ASP.net site on an IPad.
With javascript engines in browsers becoming faster and faster, cheap server infrastructure to compile on; will the cloud become the IDE platform of the future?
