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.

I'm a developer first and foremost. I write web apps but have a hard time generating traffic and converting potential users once I've released my product into the wild. 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?
A friend of mine has completed an undergraduate program in architecture. Disillusioned with the industry and available work options, she is now looking to change careers, and become a professional software developer.
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)
Is it possible to as a developer using a shared hosting site such as bluehost, hostgator, and the like, to view your site without making it public. Or do the files you upload always go live immediately?
Is the best way to test a site (if using shared hosting) to just set up some apache/mysql/php service on my machine?
I am considering putting together a site with shared hosting, and trying to see what all my options are.
Thanks.
Oracle Technology Network is a Platinum sponsor at QCon San Francisco. (qconsf.com). Don’t miss these great developer focused sessions: Shay ShmeltzerHow we simplified Web, Mobile and Cloud development for our own developers? - the Oracle StoryOver the past several years, Oracle has beendeveloping a new set of enterprise applications in what is probably one of thelargest Java based development project in the world. How do you take 3000 developers and make them productive? How do you insure the delivery of cutting edge UIs for both Mobile and Web channels? How do you enable Cloud baseddevelopment and deployment? Come and learn how we did it at Oracle, and see how the same technologies and methodologies can apply to your development efforts. Dan SmithProject Lambda in Java 8Java SE 8 will include major enhancements to the Java Programming Language and its core libraries. This suite of new features, known as Project Lambda in the OpenJDK community, includes lambda expressions, default methods, and parallel collections (and much more!). The result will be a next-generation Java programming experience with more flexibility and better abstractions. This talk will introduce the new Java features and offer a behind-the-scenes view of how they evolved and why they work the way that they do. Arun GuptaJSR 356: Building HTML5 WebSocket Applications in JavaThe family of HTML5 technologies has pushed the pendulum away from rich client technologies and toward ever-more-capable Web clients running on today’s browsers. In particular, WebSocket brings new opportunities for efficient peer-to-peer communication, providing the basis for a new generation of interactive and “live” Web applications. This session examines the efforts under way to support WebSocket in the Java programming model, from its base-level integration in the Java Servlet and Java EE containers to a new, easy-to-use API and toolset that are destined to become part of the standard Java platform. The full conference schedule is here: http://qconsf.com/sf2012/schedule/wednesday.jsp But wait, there’s more! At the Oracle booth, we’ll also be covering: · Oracle ADF Mobile· Oracle Developer Cloud Service· Oracle ADF Essentials· NetBeans Project Easel
Lastly we’ll share the results of a short cloud survey at QConSF ater this week. If you attended this year's Oracle OpenWorld and JavaOne conferences, it would be hard not to notice that Oracle is clearly "all-in" when it comes to the Cloud. With Cloud computing being such a hot topic on many OTN members' minds, we'd like to know what you're doing in the cloud and invite you to take this short cloud survey.
I have upgraded my Ubuntu to 10.04 and I am facing this problem of COMP_WORDS bad array subscript when I press TAB for certain completion. I thought, it is a bug with bash-completion package and I purged it. But even after that, I still face this. If it is a bug with bash package, how I can resolve it?

It is difficult for a developer to live with this bug in the system.
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.
I am at the final stages of the Ubuntu App Developer Showdown, and I'm right at the point where I am submitting my app. The problem I run in to however, is that even though buy is at $0.00, it will not allow me to click on the "free" button, and keep that configuration saved. So when I go to "preview your app", it shows it saying "USD $0.00 ---- Buy" instead of saying "Free ---- Install". So I was wondering if it makes any difference or not.
Spoke at the session on Webforms in CTU 2011 (Community Technology Update) in Singapore.
Had a good interaction with the Developer community here in Singapore. I covered the following topics during the session:
*Dynamic Data
*Routing
*Web Form Additions
*Predictable Client IDs
*Programmable Meta Data
*Better control over ViewState
*Persist selected rows
*Web Deployment
