My Manager asked me to code in ASP.net. What is meant my imperative and interrogative code. How it related to programmers? ...
Does anyone happen to know what the maximum length of a method name is in your programming language of choice? I was going to make this a C# specific question, but I think it would be nice to know across the spectrum. What are the factors involved as well: Does the language specification limit this? What does the compiler limit it to?...
Commercial products are often a source of ideas and inspiration for open source projects. There are free and open source implementations of almost every programming language ever devised, and a lot of them are very good. For non-work related personal programming projects, have you ever bought an expensive commerical implementation of a ...
I've been mulling over creating a language that would be extremely well suited to creation of DSLs, by allowing definitions of functions that are infix, postfix, prefix, or even consist of multiple words. For example, you could define an infix multiplication operator as follows (where multiply(X,Y) is already defined): a * b => multipl...
I'm hoping that we can all educate each other from our experiences of being misled by comments, or just emotionally scarred by them :) By the way, I know someone already asked what is the best comment you've ever written, but I think we're likely to get more helpful (or at least, different) content here. this wasn't mentioned as alre...
I am a senior computer science major and I am required to do a self study on a specific language of my choice. I am currently familiar with C++, Java, VB, PHP, and Silverlight. I would not consider myself a master of any of these languages but I have a functioning knowledge. Should I keep broadening my knowledge of different languages or...
What programming language will be most influential in five years from now? ...
Know any good stories that describe how a keyword or an operator got it's name? For example, why is main() the starting point on so many programs? Or why is the pipe (|) used as an OR operator in some languages? Most are derived from older syntax, but why were these chosen to begin with? I was just reading about why we use an asterisk...
What's the best way to describe your level of skill in particular technologies (languages, platforms, OS, ...) when polishing your CV ? Assume we are talking about the short CV of the kind where you don't spell out every project and system you have worked on in the past, but still want the reader to get a general appreciation of how well...
So I know that developers don't always get to pick the languages and platforms that they're working in - but in a sense they do, cause they can always ask, pursue, or leave a job... so with that in mind: why do you end up settling on particular a particular language or platform - what different factors play in to the ultimate decision. ...
I'm thinking about creating a small language that is very easy to type on a mobile phone (J2ME), What is the more appropriate language to implement in order to run it inside a mobile phone (j2me always)? Appropriate meaning, small/easy syntax, easy to type in a mobile phone. Is it lisp? Some sort of Basic/Python/Ruby (I think not...)? O...

I'm not a fan of these learn how to program in X amount of days books. Some even boast, learn how to program in 24 hours. This is a joke and an insult to me as a software engineer who went through a rigorous discipline in computer science and mathematics. So a question to the community, have you benefited from these become a programmer ...
Why don't more mainstream statically typed languages support function/method overloading by return type? I can't think of any that do. It seems no less useful or reasonable than supporting overload by parameter type. How come it's so much less popular? ...

For those of you with experience with both, what are the major differences? For a newcomer to either, which would be better to learn? Are there situations where you might choose C but then other situations where you would choose C++? Is it a case of use the best tool for the job or one is significantly better than the other. I know C+...
Okay, so far, I have been taking computer science courses in my high school and doing some of my own research on the web, and I have found I really like the subject. However, the computer science courses, having given me a small amount of experience in a few languages (C++, java, and python), leave me wondering where to go for developmen...
I've noticed that a number of top universities are offering courses where students are taught subjects relating to Computer Graphics for their CS majors. Sadly this is something not offered by my university and something I would really like to get into sometime in the next couple of years. A couple of the projects I've found from some u...
What is the best tutorial, recipe, how-to, to embed a scripting language (like python, lua...) in another language (like c#)? Particularly, one that shows how to provide host-level elements in the script-level language (e.g. whenever someone accesses the attribute name of the object 'car' in python, the host application intercepts that c...
