When I started building a continuous integration server, I ran across the statement "It's bad to break the build [of the code]." After finishing that project I came to the conclusion that "Breaking the build." was a catchy phrase that was being thrown around a lot because of the alliteration, or I wasn't understanding a key element o...

I am an experienced C++/Python/Java programmer starting to write some Matlab code and I'm having a really hard time getting use to it.

(The reason was probably due to the fact each file passed a different build process, sql files with the Oracle builder). But this prevailed in other places, where there is no need for phys...

I like the second approach but I don't know ho...

i mainly use PHP and I have been coding using it for a while. My main problem with PHP is that I think as your program gets bigger, it gets harder to maintain your code (probably applies for other things). I want to reduce this complexity in maintaining/modifying my codes. I want to make things modular and have rules when to start a new ...
