Are There Any Programmers On The Coli?

[ghostwriterx]

PHP, JavaScript, JQuery, HTML

What method do you use to remember? For example; i switched from JavaScript to JQuery and now i forgot JavaScript?

If i could remember, i'd be way more efficient with coding when switching languages. If i decided to start coding in Python, i'd bet i'd forget PHP.

How you forget Javascript if you're working in jquery?

How you forget Javascript if you're working in jquery?

with JavaScript you have onclick,onload,onmouseover etc

JQuery is way easier in my opinion.

$('.div').live('click',function() {
alert('yessir');
});

coding like the above, i dont even remember the pure JavaScript way anymore.

.. i got a notebook and do that exactly but to me it seems unprofessional. I'm starting my own startup but lets say i worked for a company and i had to keep on referring to a notes, it seems amateur.

Trust me when I say, I haven't met a programmer yet who doesn't

1.) Steal examples off the net( not always a bad thing though, why re-invent the wheel? )

2.) Keep dozens of books on their desk ( I have about 10 of them, mostly reference guides )

Plus nobody will care. Leads/Managers only want the project done on time.

Don't worry about mastering the syntax( who remebers all of that stuff anyway? ) Focus on how to solve problems.

got it

In college currently tryna get this programming degree.....so far ive programmed in java, C# C++, Vb.Net

People always say programming is hard as shyt but to me its kinda easy once u get the concepts its more of a hobby for me

I enjoyed programming in C++ and C#. I also learned Lisp for an AI course, dabbled in assembly language, C, Java, Python, and Visual Basic. I know sql pretty well too. I've kind of moved over to the specialized tool side. Its pretty fun over here too, and it requires more client facing, which is where I'm trying to get to. Trying to be that consultant that brings everything to the table.

You should check out the IT thread in the higher learning->College & Careers forums and drop any knowledge or ask any questions.

Speaking of SQL, I know how to do complex JOIN queries, sub queries etc but i've forgotten how to create a table outside of the phpadmin wizard.

off memory let me try..


thats all i remember breh ..

... but i remember how to do SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE queries



Another beast is regular expressions... i learned them and now i forgot them... all i remember now is

Lol, for example....

CREATE TABLE coli_contacts
(
`screen_name` varchar(30) Not NULL ,
`email` varchar(50) Not NULL,
`gender` char(1) Not NULL,
`profession` varchar(50) Not NULL,
`location` varchar(50) Not NULL,
`status` varchar(20) Not NULL,
`reppin` varchar(100) Not NULL
);

INSERT INTO coli_contacts
(`screen_name`,`email`,`gender`,`profession`,`location`,`status`,`reppin`)
VALUES
('FreshFromATL','FreshFromATL@atl.com','M','Making Money','Atlanta, GA','Self Made','ATL Hawks');
..........

And breh, EVERYONE keeps a handy cheat sheet on hand. There is NO WAY possibly you can remember everything. As long as you know, have learned, and understood the main concepts, have your cheat sheet on hand when you need a quick reference guide to refresh your memory.

Trust me when I say, I haven't met a programmer yet who doesn't

1.) Steal examples off the net( not always a bad thing though, why re-invent the wheel? )

This ^^^^

Java, Javascript,JSP,PL/SQL and a few other things mainly java, html, javascript and database shyt. I have an ongoing database prject going on at home where I use hibernate, spring to store/catalog movies

A nikka stay googling "problem stackoverload" lol

They are always good for a reference. dzone.com - fresh links for developers is a good site as well with downloadable examples

Syntax is for the birds IDE's have come a long way and will correct most if not all errors

Yesterday at the job I was working on null pointer derefferencing and in the IDE i turned on error on null pointer access and found a few cases that made me laugh out loud here is one

if (object != null)
object.getName();
else
object.getName();

I almost fell out my chair looking at that shyt

Programming isn't hard. It just has a learning curve like everything else. Once you understand the concepts and practice enough, you'll start to get the hang of it. However, a lot of people shy away from programming because of the focus and attention that must be given to it. But a nikka told me long ago that you get paid 1 or 2 ways in this world...

(1) you'll get paid a lot to use your mind

or

(2) you'll get paid peanuts to use your body (warehouse, retail, etc.)


glad I made the right choice

I know C++, C#, some Jquery & Javascript, ASP.NET, HTML, SQL, and assembly. Since I am a .NET developer now I use all of the above except C++ and assembly. It really is just takes practice and understanding the steps you need to take to solve your problem. I use books and the internet all the time to help get the job done.

No shame in my game. I'm always ready to learn new ways to do things and ask my coworkers for their opinion. I never have a full glass like this is the only way to get it done. I tend to read online about some elitist developers who claim their way is the only way but so far in my findings as long as it gets done and is not buggy my superiors have been happy. The main thing I have been focusing on is staying current with technologies. Developing is getting easier with framework upgrades. Example. I have been using Entity Framework and Linq to entities which is awesome for using strongly typed connections to a database from visual studio. It really speeds up the development process for smaller web applications and in my opinion allows for less mistakes. None of my coworkers use it but I told myself to learn the newer technologies added to the framework so that I could keep learning and remain marketable.

XCode........Apple locks you into using that crap....

meh, it's not all that bad I guess, it only makes calls to OSX specific function (core animation, core audio etc...) learning it allows you to make apps for either OSX or iPhone.

ah. I guess its because I love Visual Studio so much, I really hate using anything else..

Spring and Hibernate are God sends right now in the Java world

I dabbled in assembly language.

LOL..How did you like that? I picked up 2 Assembly language books a few years back and they are collecting dust. I wanted to get into Snes emulation( I still plan on writing one within the next 5 yrs) and reverse engineering. But man it was taking up way to much of my time to get anywhere.
