Hello, I've been thinking of making a desktop program but I have no experience in that. I've been programming in PHP, ASP and JavaScript before. Java seems to be nice since you can run it on all OS. But what I really want is result, I do not really care what language makes me a good programmer (I'll take that later in college :P). I've t...
I recently had the necessity of rewriting a javascript function in javascript, dynamically. The ease with which I did it, and how fun it was, astounded me. Over here I've got some HTML: <div id="excelExport1234" onclick="if(somestuff) location.href='http://server/excelExport.aspx?id=56789&something=else'; else alert('not imp...
Title basically surmises the question, but just to clarify. What language or languages are used for programming remotes for multimedia setups like home theater systems? Is it a scripting language? Are there SDKs? Here's an example I'm pondering. Someone wants a high end theater installed. They get A/V consultants to come in and h...
Hi, Following on from this question, I am interested in finding out how you could measure the popularity of any and all programming languages. As professional developers, we need to be aware of the trends in the software industry - what languages will employers be looking for in the coming few years, and we should be proficient in. Al...
Is there a Python module for the translation of texts from one human language to another? I'm planning to work with texts that are to be pre and post processed with Python scripts. What other Python-integrated approaches can be used? ...
How do we check what programming language a website is using? I mean something like this: www.domain.com How to check its using html, php, aspx, ruby on rails or etc? I only want to know the mainpage (www.domain.com), not the sub-page (www.domain.com/about/). ...
Possible Duplicates: Am I wasting my time learning C and other low level stuff ? Is knowing some basic low-level stuff essential to all programmers? Lots of people recommend to me learning a low-level programming such as Forth, C, or even Assembler, but I'm still a little uncertain of the actual importance of learning a low-le...
Are there any existing modern-day programming languages that explicitly have dependency injection as a language feature, and if so, are there any examples of how such programming languages use their syntax to separate program dependencies from their concrete implementations? (Please Note: I'm not looking for an DI/IOC framework--I'm act...
I am interested in developing a domain-specific language which could be driven only by speech input. Are there examples of programming languages designed specifically for speech-only input? We can assume some form of feedback and storage (for humans), probably a screen although I'd also be interested in languages which have no feedback. ...
Now I've heard the expression maths is the language if the universe; and most languages are based on maths. But today i got into a heated discussion with my head of department over whether a bachelors degree in Ireland is the same as in America. The result was inconclusive. His main reason was that languages aren't the same everywhere! ...
I need some help comparing different programming languages, such as: C++, Java, Python, Ruby and PHP, for a task which is related for web data mining (developing web crawler, string manipulations and etc.). I have a bit experience with PHP, and I think advantages that it has for this particular task are simple syntax, in-depth string par...
So, there are several languages which will allow you to create a website, as long as you configure the server(s) well enough. To my knowledge, there is: PHP ASP.NET Ruby(on rails, what is that all about?) And thusly, my knowledge is limited. Ruby and ASP, I've only heard of, never worked with. If there are other languages, I suppos...
Just curious. If you had the time and inclination to create a programming language, what characteristics would it have? One language I would like to see would borrow as much from the syntax of Python as possible but compile to machine code that runs as fast as C or C++. ...
What controls the languages shown as supported in an iPhone app's iTunes page (in the right side, below "Description", under "Languages")? From the iTunes Connect Developer's Guide it appears it's not something you choose during submission. I assume it's something in the bundle. ...
I use ASM (some), C, js, lua, Python, Ruby, Perl, Objective-C, Java and a couple of shell variants on a daily basis. I also know, or have looked into golang, C++, PHP and maybe others I forgot. I have been coding for 15 years now, and I'm looking at something fun to learn, I don't mean something useful for business, but something inter...
Hi, I would like some advice on storing data for different languages on my website. I've spent hours searchin and can't seem to find what I need. Here's my situation, so let me know what you think. I have a website that multiple users can log into to view and store information. I use php, Mysql, Apache, on a FreeBSD operating system (...
Of course I know about the most obvious thing to do... continue writing some programs! But what exactly should one do after learning a language? I personally just finished reading K&R ANSI C. So do I now find a book on the Windows API or something? I'm not exactly someone who will be doing some hardcore programming aside from hobby and ...
I need to resolve problem with word endings in django admin panel. The language I'm using is russian (using utf-8 charset), so some problems occur, for example, there is a problem with the right endings on the "Add" button for some model names. The simplest thing I found is using jQuery to correct endings "on the fly", but this solution ...
I'm part of a group that starts a new development project from scratch. Currently it is on hobby-basis but we aim to make it our living in the time frame of 1-2 years. We are senior developers coming from a multitude of languages and techniques with much of the focus on Java for the last few years. Now, we're thinking of choice of tools...
hi. I am currently dabbling in expert systems, emacs lisp, and reading up about artificial intelligence. Traditionally, artificial intelligence is associated with LISP and expert systems with CLIPS. However, I have noticed in computational sciences how much Python is being used. What about the area of artificial intelligence and mach...
