<b>The Register:</b> "Open-source CRM developer SugarCRM has been snared by the dark, so-called brilliance of Apple's whip-tongued chief executive Steve Jobs."
I have begun a career as a web application and database developer while slowly discovering the passion I have for work in the international development sector. Since this is not the most obvious line of work for someone with my credentials, it seems to me that special care must be taken in order to court international non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and position myself in the field.
Aside from adding grant-writing to my skill set and getting volunteer experience, what indispensable advice do you have for a fledgling programmer who wants to save the world?
I am a college foundation student and I am really having trouble on which major I should choose between a B.Sc in computer science or software engineering.I have always wanted to be a lead software developer at a big company and I am really interested in coding starting my own website and even create my own apps and software.I really don't have a strong background in programming.And here i am looking at this piece of paper asking me to choose from the two and i don't want to make a mistake that maybe will make me regret.So guys please help me.S.0.S
I'm using Lion to ssh -X to a linux machine and work on some code thats located on it. I open up an editor on the remote machine (usually matlab) and program on it.
My problem is that in the linux there is no concept of the command key. So if I want to copy some text from a local window to the editor that runs on the remote, I need to to command-c to copy, and then control-v to paste. This obviously drives me nuts.
I was wondering if there is a way to change the keymapping such that the command key will be recognized as a control key on the remote processes. Or is this something I need to change on my local (mac) X configuration?

A Software Developer is a person who analyzes the problem and gathers the information about a particular program. And then on the basis of the analysis the programmer makes error free software which ... [Author: Petter Martine - Computers and Internet - April 11, 2010]
Thanks to everyone who attended my sessions last Friday and Saturday at SQLbits! It was great to meet many new people, not to mention spending some time exploring one of my favorite cities, London. Attached are the demos for each of the two talks I delivered: Query Tuning Mastery: The Art of and Science of Manhandling Parallelism As a database developer, your job boils down to one word: performance. And in today's multi-core-driven world, query performance is very much determined by how well you're...(read more)
I'm wondering if there are any un-biased resources that give good, specific overviews of programming languages and their intended goals. I would like to learn a new language, but visiting the sites of each language isn't working. Each one talks about how great it is without much mention of it's weaknesses or specific goals.
Ruby is a dynamic, open source
programming language with a focus on
simplicity and productivity.
Python is a programming language that
lets you work more quickly and
integrate your systems more
effectively.
Having been a PHP developer for years, Vic Cherubini sums up my plight well:
I knew PHP well, had my own framework,
and could work quickly to get
something up and running.
I programmed like this throughout the
MVC revolution. I got better and
better jobs (read: better paying,
better title) as a PHP developer, but
all along the way realizing that the
code I wrote on my own time was great,
and the code I worked with at work was
horrible. Like, worse than horrible.
Atrocious. OS Commerce level bad.
Having side projects kept me sane,
because the code I worked with at work
made me miserable.
This is why I'm retiring from PHP for
my side projects and new programming
ventures. I'm spent with PHP.
Exhausted, if you will. I've reached a
level where I think I'm at the top
with it as a language and if I don't
move on to a new language soon, I'll
be done completely with programming
and I do not want that.
Languages I've looked at include JavaScript (for node.js), Ruby, Python, & Erlang. I've even thought about Scala or C++.
The problem is figuring out which ones are built to handle my needs the best.
So where can I go to skip the hype and get real information about the maturity of a platform, the size of the community, and the strengths & weaknesses of that language. If I know these then picking a language to continue my web development should be easy.

Hi guys so I am working at this company as a web developer but after 1 week of working here, I realize the stuff I am doing seem to be very easy stuff compared to what my peers who have been around for longer are doing. I am way ahead of my schedule and finish my projects early but it's because the work is not at all hard or problem solving involved. So I am puzzled why I would be thanked over doing such menial tasks.
Is this normal? This is driving me nuts, I ask to be given more work and I do get it and still finish it quickly and accurately. Now I am having this paranoia that they are just conspiring to use me for a short period of time and terminate me.
Am I going too far with this? I keep losing sleep over this. On days when I have a full load of work to complete, this uneasiness goes away but so far I feel like I am not being allowed to pursue what I thought I would do like solving and designing solutions. A lot of it doesn't require any thinking, just cleaning up other people's code and closing bug tickets.
We have an immediate need for new staff members!

I know I need to learn more about marketing but I don't know where to start as I've no baseline to judge the quality of the materials I stumble across.
Does anyone know any websites, blogs, e-books or other resources for learning how to market effectively?

What can she expect will be similar to her existing education, and will therefore be easy for her to pick up? What will be difficult? Does any of her experience so far transfer? Any other advice or information that she should know, before making the jump?

In my previous job, we had several cases where schema changes or incorrect developer assumptions in the middle tier or application logic would lead to type mismatches. We would have a stored procedure that returns a BIT column, but then change the procedure to have something like CASE WHEN <condition> THEN 1 ELSE 0 END. In this case SQL Server would return an INT as a catch-all, and if .NET was expecting a boolean, BOOM. Wouldn't it be nice if the application could check the result set of the...(read more)
This is really driving me nuts. I do a lot of moving media files to and from USB drives, and I am constantly looking to the status bar to see how much remaining space I have on a drive. It's quick, and doesn't involve any clicking. At least, that's what I used to do using Windows XP. Is there a way to get the status bar in Windows 7 to behave in the same way?
I saw in a Wikipedia article that some features have been removed from Windows 7, including these two that seem to be affecting me the most:
The size of any selected item and free disk space are not shown on the status bar.
When no items are selected in a folder, neither the details pane nor the status bar show the total size of files in the folder.
Are there any plug-ins or registry tweaks that can be made to return this functionality? If not what is the quickest way to get the remaining space on a drive without having to click on something and leaving the directory you are working in?
We know there are Web Designers and there are Web Developers, and that they are very different animals altogether (check out our article on the difference between Web Designers and Web Developers), but they both, naturally, have a pride in what they do. A Web Developer derives his or her pride from staying on concept and delivering a website which performs as quickly as it possibly can. It's in the developers interest to make sure the pages s/he develops use as little of the resources available as possible.
