is ;going to make the best language in life if we talk more of nature since the world is experience global warming
http://www.tiensshop.co.uk

which language would do this easiest?

cctccyhadsaybst — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 21:05:21 GMT

before i even start asking my question, if this is in the wrong area please move it accordingly, i just need as much help as possible with this.

Looking for an answer aside from "english" of course, im trying to find an EASY programming language to grasp to be able to make a program to search for files on my PC, the program is to obtain the names of files from another file..perhaps a text file or dat file, maybe a spreadsheat, just something easy enough that i can add to it at anytime. if the program finds any of these files in the list it should delete it, without confirmation would be best. if any examples are available i would also love to hear about it.

Where do I start?

Smitty5332 — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 11:39:52 GMT

I got a Web Developing job a couple years ago for a small cell company. We used ASP.net 2.0 (VB Script) to run most of the intra/extranet pages.

I lost that job due to the company being sold to a LARGE wireless company, and am a bit lost. Lots of the training was on-the-job. I had started a C# class a few years prior that I never finished, I know SOME simple HTML, but overall in this industry I'm lost.

I've heard I should go with C#, Perl, Java, Flash, VBScript, etc...What do you recommend to someone has extensive computer knowledge, but little programming experience?

Sites to practice programming?

10 Steps to learning a language

Alex.D — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 08:23:26 GMT

Learning a new programming language can be a pretty daunting task. Some of those books are as big as a novel. And it takes more than just sitting down and cracking open the book. You actually have to apply the knowledge, and test it out. The following article breaks it out into 10 practical steps and make learning a new language a reality.

MS Chart Control

Matt.Hill — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 12:27:27 GMT

Not sure how amny people are aware of this, but Microsoft has included a control that is built into the 3.5 .NET Framework that allows you to quick and easily make really nice and professional graphs and charts with very little coding. The following link gives examples to show what you can do with this control. I have to hand it to Microsoft, they really did a great job with this. This will be very helpful for developers.

Great article on syndicating content without an RSS feed

Alex.D — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 07:30:42 GMT

This guy is pretty sharp....using jquery and some other kind of technology he managed to find a way to get just the content from just about any site. This could cause an issue with people stealing content, however I suppose that will always be an issue no matter what.

ACM Membership Drive

masfonos — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 06:55:56 GMT

There's currently a membership drive going on for the ACM (Association for Computing Machinery). If you don't know what the ACM is, it's a professional organization for programming/IT/computer related fields. It's a great resource for everyone, students and professionals alike, and gives you access to thousands of text books, journal articles, and other books as well as thousands of online classes for just about everything you could imagine from programming to building web pages to business skills like building your resume. You also get subscriptions to ACM publications so you stay up to date on current computer industry news. I used the text books and other books so much during my undergrad and a ton of the journal articles during grad school and I'm just now getting into doing the online classes. It looks great on a resume too.

Membership is less than $20 for student memberships and less than $100 for professional memberships. You really can't beat it for all of the great stuff that comes with the membership.
[b]
If you're at all interested, please either reply or send me a PM and I'll get you the information to sign up under the membership drive. If you sign up through the membership drive I believe you also get some sort of special sign-up gift as well.[/b]

JAVA2s.com

DaveL — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 17:03:59 GMT

This site takes a really in-depth look at VB.NET and gives you small code samples for hundreds of different things you may want to do.
It's not like a usual tutorial site, so it won't teach you from scratch, but it's a good reference point - almost like a cheatsheet.
The site also has similar sections on C#, JAVA, HTML, CSS, etc. Very good resource, check it out.

37 Signal's "Getting Real" book

Alex.D — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 15:34:18 GMT

37 Signals has a great book that is now free to read online. Here's the link:

[url=http://gettingreal.37signals.com/toc.php]http://gettingreal.37signals.com/toc.php[/url]

It's about building user-friendly, simple, yet powerful web applications. 37 Signals are the creators of Campfire, Backpack, and Basecamp. I have used both campfire and backpack, and they're both pretty awesome. Their programs don't have a ton of features and don't look too fancy, but they're extremely usable. They are known for trimming all the fat off their products, leaving only the most powerful, core features. Anyway, the book is worth checking out.

Alex.D — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 17:46:45 GMT

[url=http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/]http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/[/url]

This site is very useful for seeing what your site looks like in older IE browsers. You just type in the address, and select which browser you want, and it will give you a screenshot of what it looks like. So if you're programming for Firefox and IE 7 and forget about IE6, you can check and make sure it looks okay.

I found another site that does the same thing, [url=http://browsershots.org]http://browsershots.org[/url], however it takes sometimes up to 30 minutes to get your screenshots. However, they have A LOT more options. It's fine if you're willing to wait. Just save the URL after you submit your request, and you can come back and check periodically to see your screenshots.
