/prog/ - Programming

If you dont care too much about the look but more about the funcionality, I would recommend you to use bootstrap or another html/css framework, they make that shit way easier. Its mean using html with a css and js made by another person basically.

go to codeacademy and do the html/css course.

After that use bootstrap, foundation 6 or mdl.

I know but it's what Wordpress uses so I need to learn at least a little bit about it

I know PHP. How do I git good with CURL. I want to make some webbots. Also know bit JS. I see lot of things on node, angular and shit should learn them to make some meme stuff?

by lurking more

literally everything you need is on this board already. look for it

Javascript isn't too bad, it's just being used for something it wasn't designed to do. Hence every update is essentially adding more duct tape to the shitshow that is the web.(not the mention the hell that is php)

Stallman has done good I'm glad for the GPL even if it's not for ever open source project but he is himself just mad, if he didn't start something he just doesn't like it and gets his followers to help.

There is a need in standard, high performance, dynamic language that also supports functional and OOP paradigms.

JavaScript perfectly fits this niche.

Modern javascript runtimes are very performant. V8 is the fastest compiler ever written for a dynamic language.

Using a modern dynamic functional garbage-collected language like JS speeds up development 3-5x compared to C/C++ (development time and source code size). No more segmentation faults, no more memory micromanagement. you write your application and it just werks.

My unpopular opinions are neatly summarized in this artwork https://ngnghm.github.io/

Best technology always feels like magic.

Best programming language should be just a natural language interface allowing the programmer-user to specify his/her task to the machine and have it executed.

Wow! Impressive project, thanks for the post.

Ever seen any c64 demos?

your physical appearance has an impact on how people perceive and interact with you. you will be perceived as a lazy slob if you're fat.

a high quality of life means you benefit from the positive feedback cycle, and in turn are presented with more opportunity.

>what did you do to get a career in programming going? What do?

I got an AS degree at school, and made some important networking connections with other students and professors.

I then got an opportunity to interview with a small company and they quickly offered me a 90-day internship, after which they offered me a full time salary as an engineer.

If you spend all your time on a computer you'll eventually hate it. You need a hobby that doesn't involve the logical part of your brain.

Fucking terrible. It can't even use capital letters.

A bit overkill but it was fun.

function makeTrans(inTable, outTable) {
    if (inTable.length != outTable.length) {
        throw new Error("makeTrans: inTable and outTable are different lengths.");
    }
    
    var dict = Object.create(null);
    for (var i in inTable) {
        dict[inTable[i]] = outTable[i];
    }

    var translate = function(text) {
        var result = [];
        for (var i in text) {
            var ch = text[i];
            if (ch in dict) {
                ch = dict[ch];
            }
            result.push(ch);
        }
        return result.join("");
    };

    return {getDict: function() {return dict;}, translate: translate};
}

function makeCeaserTrans(key) {
    key = key % 26;
    var U = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ",
        L = U.toLowerCase(),
        inTable = U + L,
        outTable = U.slice(key) + U.slice(0, key) + L.slice(key) + L.slice(0, key);
    return makeTrans(inTable, outTable);
}

// demo
var rot13 = makeCeaserTrans(13);
alert(rot13.translate('Rot13 is cool!'));

dict = "nopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklm"

translate char

| char != ' ' = dict !! ((ord char) - 61)

| otherwise = char

map translate "go eat shit"

You may need to get better, but you can probably make do with a business translator.

"Expert" => "Reasonably competent."

"Ninja" => "Reasonably competent."

"Excellence" => "Reasonable competence."

"Exceed my expectations" => "Not be a drooling moron."

The scale of competency of programmers runs from

1. If you give them a task, they'll pretend to know how to do it and then produce nothing at all, while trying to keep the fiction up as long as possible. [DailyWTF candidates.]

2. If you give them a task, they'll produce something eventually, but it'll be complete shit and require a lot of further work before it can be used at all. [Indians.]

3. If you give them a task, they'll produce something that sort of works for you. Apply buzzword methodologies to distribute tasks over more of them, to have more done in the same time. Give them more time if you want a better product, repeat until product is good enough. [Reasonably competent programmers. The best anyone can hope for, and all that your interviewers are really selecting for.]

4. You work directly with them to produce a task, you supplying business information and they supplying technical information, and then they produce it, and it's awesome. Sometimes they come to you with a new thing that you realize you can find a business use for. [Experts.]

how about in regards to googling? Do even the awesome experts google to figure stuff out?

The reason i ask is the job im looking at now is going to pay me double what my last job is, and the new job is only a 4 month contract

I know that feel, though I'm far less experienced but I still know my way around.

Pretty much every programmer suffers from imposter syndrome.

>all my job interviews the people ask if I'm an expert at [radom programming language] which I've used before

You gotta figure out if they're a HR faggot spouting shit they don't know, or if they're an actual developer. If they demand you be an 'expert' they're probably the former. Use >>4113 as a reference.

>>4115

>Do even the awesome experts google to figure stuff out?

Yes. Even Carmack googles.

>>4111

Say you are an expert. You're a programmer, you know the fundamentals, you can be good enough in any given language within a week. HR has no idea what they want or need.

Not knowing what Google is.

I ran it, got this:

$ ./trash.py
a=3
b=2
c=1
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./trash.py", line 7, in <module>
    posQuad=(-b+sqrt(b**2-4*a*c))/2*a
ValueError: math domain error
$ ./trash.py
a=1
b=5
c=1
-0.20871215252208009, -4.7912878474779195
$

You're not running into an error about not declaring math. That's a math domain error. If your error was about the module, you'd get a NameError. Python doesn't make assumptions like you think it does. If you used sqrt without importing it, it wouldn't tell you shit about the "math" module, it would just complain that it doesn't know what sqrt is. Think about what a "domain" is in math. The problem is that you are using numbers that make your determinant negative, which means you're running a square root of a negative, which python's math module can't do.

A bigger issue is your order of operations is fucked up. Quadratic equation is x = (-b +/- sqrt((b^2) - (2ac)))/(2a). The way you have it there is wrong because order of operations places multiplication on the same precedence as division, which multiplies a after the division, effectively putting a in the numerator.

>want to make websites

>know python. expect to learn java, c# and html

To make websites, you need to know HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and some backend language. For the backend language, I suggest PHP. Not because it's good – it's complete shit – but because it's ubiquitous and there's a ton of information online about it and because you can save a lot of time by starting with WordPress or like.

Forget about Python, Java, and C#.

To learn JavaScript, read http://eloquentjavascript.net/ . Don't just run your eyes over the paper. Make webpages and node scripts as you work through the book.

For HTML and CSS, have https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/ open all the time and STFW as you want to do things. Make sure you're reading about HTML5. Learn how to use your browser's developer console.

Since I already knew superior server side languages and was free to use them (read: I don't have a job in web development so nobody told me to use PHP) I never properly learned PHP and can't give you any advice on learning it, except that so many people use it that searching the web or stackoverflow.com or php.net documentation in particular should help you muddle things.

There actually is web development work in Java and C#, but if you aren't actively applying for those jobs or looking to move into one I wouldn't bother.

JavaScript is primarily put to evil and stupid ends, but it's a decent language and it can be put to very clever use. Don't forget about it except when you have something evil or stupid to do.

>>4114

We use python for the backend at our company and so do many others including google. Python is a perfectly reasonable for a backend language.

OP, don't take advice from an anonymous image board.

I'm still new to MVVM as well, but once you start working in bigger projects it has its benefits.

I have to work with C#/.NET and XAML using WPF. While it's still a pain to implement, it makes development of multi-lingual text resources with separated UI and data access bearable and maintainable. When you have to change to another database, you can switch out the entire data access stuff out for something else. Same with the UI, especially when you get a customer in a new country.

What I can't get around is VS12 and TFS (which I have to use); I think they suck huge cock.

>>3625

It's useful for webdev, on pages that are way more complicated than they need to be.
