I lead a small group of programmers in a university setting, having just moved into this position last year.

I'm currently involved in a review and refocusing of the training strategy adopted by the company for which I work (our product is primarily desktop applications sold to "time-poor" professionals.

Hi guys, my company is very LAMP based as of now, and my management had decided to send a hardware guy and a developer to this MLG workshop. From what I check online it's mostly MS trying to bundle up a whole lot of their stuff and try to sell it to us to solve our problems. Plus the fact that most of what we use now are pretty much open...

Know any good courses, online or perhaps otherwise, you'd recommend to a relatively new PHP/MySQL web developer to get her up to speed on security vulnerabilities?

I was training a new developer the other day and realized I don't know the actual term for "catching" a return value in a variable. For example, consider this pseudocoded method: String updateString(newPart) { string += newPart; return string; } Assume this is being called to simply update the string - the return value is not need...

I want to learn C languages and I'm running a Linux distro (Ubuntu) so I would like to know where can I begin?

So what are the sources for a beginner? ...
I'm giving a short (30 mins) skills development talk on JavaScript to my peers on Friday, and would appreciate some suggestions for intermediate to advanced topics to cover. We all use JS daily and are quite familiar with more than just the basics, and I'd like to come up with an interesting as well as technically advanced topic. ...
I'm banging my head up against Cocoa and Xcode, and have been for months. I never seem to be able to get away from the tutorials, which are often incomplete, or Apple developer documentation, which is sparse on samples. I've watched videos, downloaded source code and asked developers for help. I still feel like I haven't gotten that audi...
