Hey guys,
I have couple of interviews coming up for internships at google,ms, and etc.
So I am wondering what are some good sites to use to prepare and brush up on my knowledge.
Thanks
I have looked at a couple of books and all I have looked at were just discussing the technicalities of OOP. By technicalities I mean, here's a concept, here's some code, now get working. I have yet to see a book that discusses the architectural process, what are the ways of doing this, why doing this is bad, how to actually incorporate design patterns in a real-world project, etc.
Can you recommend a good resource or book? I am mainly programming with PHP but a language-agnostic book/resource would do :)
hi i was going to start leaning php and i cant setup a server is there a good emulator that will show me what im writing without having to run or be part of a server
I was looking at Ch from SofIntegration and it looks pretty interesting as a possible teaching tool. It would allow the you to let someone learning to program "play" while preparing them to write full fledged C programs. I was wondering if anybody had "good" experiences using a C interpreter or weather it would be a better to go with a language that is typically interpreter to start with?
I'd like to find a good object oriented C++ (as opposed to C) wrapper for sqlite. What do people recommend? If you have several suggestions please put them in separate replies for voting purposes. Also, please indicate whether you have any experience of the wrapper you are suggesting and how you found it to use.
I came upon a comment on another forum today and one user responding to another suggested that a CS degree is really only good for one through two years at the most, and after that its as if you never had it. Is this really true? is this what employers think?
When I did CS I never learned anything new, we learned fundamentals like data structures, algorithms, time complexity, OS fundamentals, language characteristics. Most of this stuff has been around for the past 20 years or so.
I have always liked the documentation on Java APIs, generally speaking, but I know some people consider them lacking. So I'm wondering, what do you consider a good example of API documentation?
Please, include a link or an actual example in any answer. I want to have references that I (and others, of course) can use to improve our own documents.
So I would like to know some things I should avoid doing in javascript for good SEO rankings. In my next site I will use jquery and javascript extensively but do not want to sacrifice SEO. So what do you think I should avoid doing?
I am looking for a good Tree data structure class. I have come across this package, but since I am relatively new to Python (not programming), I dont know if there are any better ones out there.
I'd like to hear from the Pythonistas on here - do you have a favorite tree script that you regularly use and would recommend?
Can somebody suggest a good book on ASP.NET projects?
It should give an idea of practical problems (I mean professional life) and how to deal with them, things like database handling, caching, n-tier architecture, etc.
Hello
Can anybody suggest some good resource/book on Database high availability techniques?
Moreover, High-availability of system software like Intrusion Prevention system or Web servers.
I am considering high-availability is global term which covers clustring, cloud computing, replication, replica management, distributed synchronization for cluster.
Thanks in advance!
I am planning to make a railway reservation project...
I am maintaining following tables:
trainTable
(trainId,trainName,trainFrom,trainTo,trainDate,trainNoOfBoogies)...PK(trainId)
Boogie
(trainId,boogieId,boogieName,boogieNoOfseats)...CompositeKey(trainId,boogieId)...
Seats
(trainId,boogieId,seatId,seatStatus,seatType)...CompositeKey(trainId,boogieId,seatId)...
user
(userId,name...personal details)
userBooking
(userId,trainId,boogieId,seatId)...
Is this good design?
I am looking for a good obfuscater that has visual studio integration, can be commercial or free, and has to work with vs 2010 and .net v4.
Something that is as hassle free as possible, and can obfuscate my release builds.
Thanks in advance
The more I hear and read about C++ (e.g. this: http://lwn.net/Articles/249460/), I get the impression, that I'd waste my time learning C++. I some wrote network routing algorithm in C++ for a simulator, and it was a pain (as expected, especially coming from a perl/python/Java background ...).
I'm never happy about giving up on some technology, but I would be happy, if I could limit my knowledge of C-family languages to just C, C# and Objective-C (even OS Xs Cocoa, which is huge and takes a lot of time to learn looks like joy compared to C++ ...).
Do I need to consider myself dumb or unwilling, just because I'm not partial to the pain involved learning this stuff? Technologies advance and there will be options other than C++, when deciding on implementation languages, or not?
And for speed: If speed were that critical, I'd go for a plain C implementation instead, or write C extensions for much more productive languages like ruby or python ...
The one-line version of the above: Will C++ stay such a relevant language that every committed programmer should be familiar with it?
[ edit / thank you very much for your interesting and useful answers so far .. ]
[ edit / .. i am accepting the top-rated answer; thanks again for all answers! ]
I have a series of complex web services that are getting used in my SOA application. I am generally happy with the overall design of the application, but as the complexity grows, I was wondering if Windows Workflow might be the way to go.
My motivations for this are that you can get a graphic representation of the applications functionality, so it would be easier to maintain the code by its business function, rather than what I have now ( a standard 3 tier class library structure).
My concerns are:
I would be inducing an abstraction in my code, and I don't want to spend time having to deal with possible WF quirks or bugs.
I've never worked with WF, is it a solid technology?
I don't want to hit any WF limitations that prevent me from developing my solution.
Is a WF even the right solution for the task?
Simply put I am considering writing my next web service in this app to call a WF, and in this work flow manage the tasks the web service needs to carry out. I think it will be much neater and easier to maintain than a regular c# class library (maintainable by namespaces, classes ).
Do you think this is the right thing to do? I'm hoping for positive feedback on WF (.net 4), but brutal honestly at the end of the day would help more.
Thanks

My game has many different type of good guys and many different type of bad guys. They will all be firing projectiles at each other but I don't want any accidental collateral damage to occur for either alignment. So bad guys should not be able to hit/damage other bad guys and good guys should not be able to hit/damage other good guys.
The way I'm thinking of solving this is by making it so that the Unit instance (this is javascript, btw), has an alignment property that can be either good or bad. And I'll only let collision happen if the
class Attack
boolean didAttackCollideWithTarget(target)
return attack.source.alignment != target.alignment and collisionDetected(attack.source, target)
This is pseudo-code, of course.
But I'm asking this question because I get the sense that there might be a much more elegant way to design this besides adding yet another property to my Unit class.
Amazon Web Services promet de baisser encore ses prix en 2012
Entretien avec Matt Wood, Technology Evangelist EMEA chez Amazon
Les Cloud dédiés aux développeurs se multiplient. Ils mettent tous en avant les mêmes avantages : flexibilité, facturation à la demande, gestion externalisée de l'infrastructure, et aujourd'hui simplification des outils d'administration.
Après avoir interviewé Laurent Lesaicherre, le responsable chez Microsoft France de la plateforme Windows Azure, il nous est apparu intéressant de continuer ce tour d'horizon du marché avec un de ses précurseurs : Amazon.

I know Game Maker's surfaces exist in XNA (It's more the othe way around, XNA's surfaces exist in Game Maker), same thing for blend modes, since (I think) they both use DirectX.
This is the question: "Where can I find a good tutorial to replicate Game Maker's surfaces and blend modes in XNA?"
I'm using XNA 4.0 and Game Maker 8.1 Pro.
Background
I'm slowly moving from Game Maker to... Something else.
I've learned some good C++ but DirectX is hardcore and OpenGL needs some pretty good understanding of the language to be able to use it correctly.
XNA and C# together seemed like a good middle but the documentation is hard to understand for a newb like me.
In the end, I chose to focus on XNA.
