I have a question about the pronunciation of the SQL word. In my native language (French) we used to say it like spell each letters. I've been listening to the stackoverflow podcast today. And I noticed the usage of the word sequel to describe SQL. My question is what is the common or correct pronunciation of SQL in english. Is it a ma...
I very rarely meet any other programmers! My thought when I first saw the token was "implies that" since that's what it would read it as in a mathematical proof but that clearly isn't its sense.

This just came up again. I see people doing it both ways. Which one is correct? ['ja:va] or ['dza:va] I have an observation that English-speaking cultures where J is read as [dz] use the second option, while those where J is read as [j] (German, for example) use the first option. I personally prefer the second [dz] variant, since th...

As my formal education in programming pre-dates C, I learnt C from K&R and other texts. Are there helpful conventions for vocalising C code when reading and writing it? For example, in d = emalloc(sizeof(*d)); d->d_name = estrdup(name); is '=' best read as 'is set to' or 'equals' or something else? Would '==' then be read as 'equ...

As a side note, if you could rename pure to something more friendly to...

Serious Java development is new to me, so I've not dealt with the JNI before. Yesterday a co-worker and I were discussing the JNI and the way to pronounce it was in question.
