I'm interested in corresponding with some schoolmates with an online forum that offers more than Google groups, namely intelligent code colors/formatting. MSDN forums and this site color code the c# code that I paste and I'd like to find another free forum site for a group to collaborate that supports this. The few I've found only format...
I've been reading about the various forms and aspects of agile development, but all focused on the corporate environment. I am on a student project team at my university, and I'd like to see if some agile concepts could work in an environment other than 'everyone works full/part time'. We do have our own project server, with Subversi...
Hey guys, I am a computer science student "at some university" and am quite appalled at the lack of CS/programming clubs on my campus. We have an ACM presence but ideally what I am looking for is a place for CS students to hang out, maybe work on some projects and generally just socialize. We also do not have an actual lounge, as opposed...

Hello, I am a CS Student and am looking for a computing device for programming. I already own a desktop, and the choice I have is between a 10" - 1GB RAM- 160 GB HDD - 1.6 GHz Atom Processor - ASUS eeePC 1000 HE which comes for 400$ or a Notebook - mostly from DELL maybe an Inspiron 1535 which will set me back with close to 800-900 $ I...
Currently, my level of understanding is below all the coding examples on the web about the Observer Pattern. I understand it simply as being almost a subscription that updates all other events when a change is made that the delegate registers. However, I'm very unstable in my true comprehension of the benefits and uses. I've done some go...
Hi I'm looking for the cheapest hosting that would allow me to deploy a number of rails and non-rails apps along with maybe a blog and other goodies. Traffic is likely to be rather low, but still important. Like a portfolio site. What are good hosting providers for that? ...
It's been a while since I was at university ... I have a project that I'm currently struggling to devote sufficient time to, so am considering paying a student to develop it for me (I'm based in the UK). So, what would be a reasonable hourly/daily rate to pay a student during the summer, probably based in London, England. Some (option...

I need to automate an IM client to update a status every few hours, basically log in, update status, log out. I'm trying to do this with windows scripting, but cannot seem to find the proper hook names to the application. Is there somewhere specific I can look to find this kind of information about an application, or am I merely going ...
I wanted to write a program where an Excel sheet is imported onto a webpage. Also the look and feel of the webpage should be the same as that of the Excel sheet. The whole excel sheet should be displayed on the webpage. Is there any package for Java where we can import the Excel sheet and print its data and its sheet onto the webpage? ...
I am designing a website-based project wherein I first designed my logical layer in Java J2SE application development. Then I made the GUI in J2EE for website. I am importing my J2SE files in J2EE architecture using JSTL and I will call the data using this only. But it is giving me an error as follows: for-each loops -- for-each loops ...
How do you identify who can be potential programmer from people like students? Is it going to take like two weeks? You give them some ideas of programming and test them. Or is it going to be a 3 months? You give them a lot of ideas about programming and test them to see who can perform better in average? Any other methods or views? R...
I'm currently doing a co-op term at a government position. It's my first co-op term and I'm really interested in learning lots of new things, as well as gaining practical experience. Unfortunately, working ahead of schedule isn't exactly encouraged. I was added to an app late into its development cycle where I cannot be adding new fu...

If an object is destroyed with DELETE operator. Will destructor be called? If a destructor is called explicitly (e.g. a1.~A()) to destroy the object? Nei...
Background: I'm currently for my University creating some simple apps showcasing the possible educational potential of the Microsoft Surface. Their functionality falls somewhere between a basic demo app and a full-fledged production app. Our hesitation with using MVVM or some other type of MVC is that, with the exception for the few a...
I would like to know if this is really helpful to have experience with Macs on the job market for developers with B.Sc.. I have been using Windows and Linux since the start of undergrads and I'm pretty good with those in coding/using/configurating. So, I feel like it may be helpful to buy a Mac and get some little Iphone/Mac dev experien...
School is back in session and I've found myself at a loss. At the end of last semester, we had a group project utilizing subversion (group of 4 people) to make commits and get it complete. I also noticed how easy it was to have access to a central point for my homework. I want to utilize SVN or Git (recently introduced to git) and I h...
I've been studying programming at a local college for 1 year now and I also do a lot of studying at home. This semester, I just realized that I have more than enough credits to be able to apply to our Co-Op program. I have no idea what kind of job I'll possibly find or get while searching for one and since I'm trying to get experience a...
Hello! My version of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 is downloaded from DreamSpark. Does my license include the rights to sell any created application? I found : "you must use them in pursuit of increasing your education..." (https://www.dreamspark.com/FAQ/StudentOverview.aspx) My main pursuit is to learn. Edit : Seems like I cannot a...
