Possible Duplicates: Projects for learning a new language What would you write if you wanted to learn a new language? I'm a rather junior programmer. I did a program in college on programming, so I've been exposed to a bunch of different languages (C++, Java, VB.Net, even COBOL) and I understand the basic concepts of buildin...
Hi, I tried this question in another forums, like OS X hints, so I try it here now. I just wonder if there is somewhere available an external keyboard for the iphone, so I can program on the road. And second question, if you know good IDE's on the iphone for programming and compiling on C++ Thanks ...

Has someone created a language which can be used to track/analyze dependencies between grid cells in a generic way? I'm trying to write a spreadsheet which uses a functional language. What I'm after is something similar to what Excel might use to manage references between cells. The language will be used create a model which can be anal...
English is not my first language and when programming I sometimes need to look for information for a special portion of code. When this code concerns or contains a special character (°, *, #, ... etc), that is not always recognized in search engines, I often end up having to ask a new question because I do not know how to write these cha...
Hi all, I have a load of php templates which uses a custom translate function "__", i.e. <?php echo __("Hello"); ?> I need to write a script which will look for all these function calls (there are about 200 templates). I.e. it will find __("Hello") and add it to a sentences to be translated array. For example it will find: $senten...
I remember reading an article saying something like "The number of bugs introduced doesn't vary much with different programming languages, but it depends pretty much on SLOC (source lines of code). So, using the programming language that can implement the same functions with smaller SLOC is preferable in terms of stability." The au...
I am trying to understand how a language interpreter works. Can you guys point me the general lines on how an interpreter works? I mean, suppose I have some lines written like this 10 x = 200; 20 for r = x to 1000 step 1 25 z = r + 32; 30 print z; 40 next r; 50 end; what's the best way to build an interpreter that could run so...
I need to document the software I'm currently working on. The software consists of several programming languages and scripts which got me thinking. If a new developers comes along and needs to fix something, they might know Java but maybe not bash scripting. It would be nice if there was a program which would help to understand what for...
I'm a Python programmer who knows a bit of Ruby and PHP as well. I don't really know enough about Java to do anything meaningful, and I certainly don't know C, C++, or other low-level languages. I've heard all the "Who cares about speed because hardware is cheap, but coders are expensive" arguments, and I'm not trying to raise a debate h...
Hey all, I've started developing Android apps a couple of months ago, and have a few under my belt. While I can tolerate Java enough to keep developing, I was wondering what success the community has had getting other languages to run. I've done some investigation as to how other JVM languages work, and it appears Dalvik messes them u...
I was wondering if it's a good idea to teach object oriented programming to my son? I was never really good at math as a kid, but I think since I've started programming it's given me a greater ability to understand math by being better able to visualise relationships between abstract models. I thought it might give him a better advantage...
The problem: You have some data and your program needs specified input. For example strings which are numbers. You are searching for a way to transform the original data in a format you need. And the problem is: The source can be anything. It can be XML, property lists, binary which contains the needed data deeply embedded in binary junk...
Hi, My name is Dennis and I am pretty ambitious of creating the next big thing for the web. I have ideas but now I gotta get to work to learn the tools. I am learning Javascript. I don't know if next step for me to take is PHP or some suggests RUBY on Rails. What are the pros and cons. With your experience, I wish you could hint me ...
I see a lot of the word 'expressiveness' when people want to stress one language is better than the other. But I don't see exactly what they mean by it. Is it the verboseness/succinctness? I mean, if one language can write down something shorter than the other, does that mean expressiveness? Please refer to my other question - http://...
In control engineering or instrumentation, I see Simulink or LabVIEW(G) is pretty popular. In ESL design, I see that Agilent SystemVue is gaining some popularity. If you see the well established compiler theroy, almost 100% is about the textual language. But how about the graphical language? Is there any noticable research or discussi...
I have an idea for a product that I want to be web-based. But because I live in a part of the world where the internet is not always available, there needs to be a client desktop component that is available for when the internet is down. Also, I have been a SQL programmer, a desktop application programmer using dBase, VB and Pascal, and ...
