I have shortlisted by a Software COmpany..that is parter with microsoft. and…
We run a project in which we want to solve with test driven development. I thought about some questions that came up when initiating the project. One question was: Who should write the unit-test for a feature? Should the unit-test be written by the feature-implementing programmer? Or should the unit test be written by another programmer, who…
I think the title says everything.
I'm a PHP programmer. Maybe it's interesting that I do php programming at work, but that's not full time. I'm still a student until '12 and I'll go to university after this before I'll start with my real life as programmer.
Now I'm asking myself whether it would be a good way to do some java to improve my…
OK, the provocative title got your attention.
My experience as a programmer and dealing with my fellow programmers is that, a programmer is also usually someone who is so consumed by his programming work, so absorbed in his algorithmic construction that he has little passion/ time left for anything else, which includes empathy for other…
I am one of those people who became professional programmer by chance, rather than by choice: I moved to a country whose main language I couldn't speak, I knew how to code... and here I am a few years later.
Because of this I never really gave much a thought about the ethos of being a programmer, and working as a freelance I neither had…
I am a self-taught programmer and I do do not have any degrees. I started pretty young and I've got about 7 years of actual programming work experience. I believe I'm a pretty good programmer, but I admit that I have not played much with algorithms or delved into any really low-level aspects of programming such as how compilers work.
I…
I've had quite a weird career till now.
First I graduated from a medical school. Then I went into marketing (pharmaceuticals).
And then umm, after some time, I decided to go for my (till then) hobby and became a "professional" programmer.
I've been quite successful at this ever since. I have quite some languages "under my belt". I…
Hi all,
I'm a relatively new programmer (18 months on the scene), and I'm finally getting to the point where I'm comfortable accepting projects and developing solutions under minimal supervision. Unfortunately, this also means that I've become acutely aware of my performance shortfalls, the most prevalent of which is the amount…
I've been very happy with the Delphi IDE for programming in Delphi.
But I've heard about the Lazarus programming environment, and I've also heard that some Delphi programmers use it instead of the Delphi IDE.
What are the advantages that Lazarus has over the Delphi IDE, and why would, or should a Delphi programmer switch to it?
The Guinness Book of Programming Records. It is very interesting to know what we and our colleagues are capable of. I welcome you to tell us what is your best result/achievement and what are you most proud of as a programmer.
PS. There are over 6000 subjective and even more argumentative questions on stackoverflow:…
I code primarily in vb.net. I've been doing basic dependency injection manually and am looking to learn more about DI/IoC and maybe use a DI/IoC framework/container like Ninject. There are lots of examples and write-ups using Java and C# code. I'm looking for the best resources for vb.net programmers. Likewise,…
I'm looking for a list of built in PHP functions that a programmer could use to send an email.
The obvious answer here is mail(), but I'm also looking for a list of functions someone might use to manually open a connection to an MTA, or spawn a process on the local machine which might in turn send an email using…
Is there still a market for C system programmers? I love Java and some of the newer JVM languages but at the same time I really enjoy low-level system programming under Unix, using C and the GNU toolchain (it makes you feel elitist ;-)).
Now I wonder
a) is there still a market for C system programmers and
b) how…
There are companies that don't allow lunch break(s). In my country (Romania) there is a law that forces the companies to 1 hour of lunch break for the employees.
As a programmer, I can't work continously for more than 4 hours and not have my coherence and my productivity go down.
However I've seen many people…
I have been doing code for a few years and still feeling that my knowledge still not broad enough to become a professional. I have studied some books related to Design Pattern but I know there are many others.
So could anyone list the one which you think it is good to learn to become a better programmer and…
Do you need to have good spatial sense to be a good programmer?
I have next to nothing of it (I think it has to do with the differing vision of my eyes).
I've already coded quite little things but wonder if this interferes with the ability to 'imagine' the assembly of the code in case of a more complex…
I'm surprised by the number of general education classes computer science students must complete to get their bachelors. For example, I must take:
three English classes
two history classes
public speaking
economics
biology
I hardly think these general education requirements are unique to the…
When I have a problem I often search the computing literature.
Some of the resources[*] I use are:
The professional associations?
ACM Digital Library
IEEE Xplore
The scientific publishers?
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
HCI Bibliography
What do you use? What is the best resource…
The programmer is a C# ASp.NET Developer and is looking to learn his first scripting language. Unfortunately he never had to use it before. He is also looking for something that can be good for his career growth.
In terms that an OOP programmer would understand (without any functional programming background), what is a monad?
What problem does it solve and what are the most common places it's used?
EDIT:
To clarify the kind of understanding I was looking for, let's say you were converting an FP…
Hi All,
What should a web programmer keep in his mind while creating a web application ?
What should he keep in his mind i.e. using Session variables, Global.asax file etc.
Please share your experiences .
I have always wanted to learn a foreign language, but I would like to pick one that can also help me the most in my career. I'm in the US, so it is not necessary for me to learn a second language to influence my career success, however I think knowing one and speaking it fluently could…
