The first language i learnt was PHP, but i have more recently picked up python. As these are all 'high-level' languages, i have found them a bit difficult to pick up. I tried a bit of objective-c, and i just gave up. So, what language should i learn to bridge between python to C ...
Hi. I'm currently working as an applications developer, with a Java and C++ background, but I'd like to be able to work on more web-based projects. I was originally thinking of learning one of the newer languages, but I suspect that there'll be more value to learning php, as that's what most legacy code's written in. Hopefully then mov...
Ok, so I work mainly on designing intranet applications in order to automate processes. Obviously the need for aesthetics isn't that great when you're working with business stuff, but I've been working on a publicly facing site on the side, and I realized that while my skills in creating the layout, css, java backend, etc are pretty good...
I've tried a couple of times to teach myself to program in C using books, but haven't had the patience to progress through all the mundane examples. I have experience of programming in Java, and I'm a good PHP developer, so I find Hello World and generic programs-to-read-from-STDIN aren't really very informative. I imagine that a better...
This is something simple I came up with for this question. I'm not entirely happy with it and I saw it as a chance to help improve my use of STL and streams based programming. std::wifstream file(L"\\Windows\\myini.ini"); if (file) { bool section=false; while (!file.eof()) { std::wstring line; std::getline(file, line); ...
Is there a course that can help non OO programmers how to develop in .NET in a good way? I don't mean just the syntax and how to design a class and the relationship between class but how organize a solution into projects (naming, what to put on each one) what method is more suitable to access data (dataobjects, remoting, ORM) how to desi...
I've been programming now for 30 years, BASIC, various assemblers, FORTH, Pascal, C and C++ in that order. I haven't learnt a new language in over a decade because from a work perspective C++ does everything I need. However, from a technology perspective, I'd like to bring my skills up to date, particularly in the areas of web developm...
Hello, I'm looking to learn Java in the next few weeks and was wondering on a good book to buy. I have little programming experience. I'm looking for something that can give me lots of examples, and at the same time explain concepts well. So I'll throw it out there to the experts, what is the best book to learn java? Thanks in advance....
I've recently been dabbling in functional programming with languages like Lua, Scheme and most notably F# and there are a lot of resources to learn these languages. However, the resources that I've found and have been using essentially teach only the syntax of these languages. While that's important, I can do this in a day or two. I j...

I'd like to learn Python, and I already have a bit of C experience. Now, should I learn Python 2.6 or Python 3? Which advantages and disadvantages do the versions have? And: How can I learn Python (maybe a book you would recommend)? It should be German, but if it's english, it should at least be available for free. Best would be if it ...
If I spend most of my time not writing code, but sifting through other peoples' code (mostly PHP) fixing it, what would I be called professionally? How I got to this point is a long story. Seems I am good at reverse-engineering things, but I never formally learned to write code. I want to break away from this and start writing my own c...
As a programmer, I've been pretty much stuck in the Windows world. I invested a lot of time and effort learning MFC, ATL and, recently, .NET (mostly WinForms, I'm not interested in Web development for now). Since I don't have Parallels (and won't buy any software or hardware in the following months), I can't afford to run my old Windows ...
A few days ago I came over this question: Did you ever switch from one programming language to another? and it seems, that almost everyone had this problem more than just once. What is your starting point for learning a new, similar (i.e. C to C++) or completely different (i.e. Perl to JAVA) new programming language? Do you use...

I'm looking for a best of breed book which will help me to get started with professional Mac development. I would expect that professional development is done with Cocoa, Objective C and/or XCode. But it needs to be a single excellent book for a professional coder who is new to Mac development. ...
Is there a guide/reference anyone would recommend to pick up C++ specifically if you have strong experience of C#? There are C++ guides, but a lot start with the absolute basics and I feel I've covered a lot with my C# learnings. But the absolute basics may be a good thing and I may be barking up the wrong tree - I imagine some people ...
First I've read loads of posts and sites that recommend going to http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/ to get started but I do not have visual studio and I'm not going to purchase it just to 'maybe' learn some silverlight that I'm not going to be able to use for a little while. The reason being that I've already installed visual studio and...
