Anyone here is going to try to participate?

Thoughts on C++? (58)

#!/usr/bin/anonymous

What do you all think about C++? I'm just starting off on programming and was going to use C++ as my first. When it comes to programming, I know little to nothing about the technical, in-depth details. In some places (mainly /prog/), I've heard C++ isn't all that great and isn't worth learning. But again, what do you all think?

Looking for information about objfpc (1)

#!/usr/bin/anonymous

Hey,

I'm looking for a book (or another good info source) about objfpc, I already knows pascal (mode fpc) and looking to learn classes and objects.

I already know python so I'm not new to OOP.

Anyone know such a source ? the documentation sucks.

The Manifesto of the Futurist Programmer (6)

#!/usr/bin/anonymous

To the young programmers of the World!

The cry of the rebellion we launch here, in which we firmly implant our ideals alongside those of the Futurist painters, does not come from a little aesthetic minded clique but, on the contrary, expresses the violent desire that seethes in the veins of every creative programmer today.

We want to fight to the bitter end against the fanatical, thoughtless, and purely snobbish religious faith in the past, stoked by the nefarious existence of the academic journals. We are rebelling against the sluggishly supine admiration for old operating systems, old languages, archaic standards, and against the enthusiasm for everything bug-ridden, rotting with code bloat, and eaten away by obsolescence. And we judge unjust - criminal in fact - the habitual disdain for programs whose construction is different and original, new, throbbing with life.

Comrades! We declare to you that triumphant progress in the other sciences has brought about, in humanity as a whole, changes so profound as to dredge out an abyss between the past and us free creatures who are securely confident in the radiant magnificence of the future.

We are nauseated by the despicable sloth that, ever since the 1970's, has let our programmers survive only through an incessant reprogramming of the glories of the past.

[Perl] CGI Sucks - the next best thing? (14)

#!/usr/bin/anonymous

CGI sucks.

So, in order to make a super-duper fast "web application" big on the catchwords run fast enough that people don't moan about it, I find myself at a crossroad wondering which way to go. Any option if convincing enough will be fine (I'm a cowboy coder), so I want to see if anyone is awake enough to tell me what I should use.

mod_perl
Good News: Production grade, proven, lots of documentation, get the webserver control freak options.
Bad News: Morbidly obese worker processes even with "sharing" modules, need to separate dynamic from static greatly, restricted to Apache

Fast CGI
Good News: More than just Apache, Fast CGI servers need not be on the same machine
Bad News: Aparently Fast CGI is a pain in the ass for designing request flow.

(legal shit) using creative commons licensed material in software (6)

#!/usr/bin/anonymous

okay this isnt really a programming question. but i have no idea where else to ask. so how does this work exactly? say if i wanted to use something licensed under this: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ in some program i'm writing. attribution is straightforward enough but how exactly would i "share alike"? i could easily just say "this program is licensed under creative commons blahblah" but... would that even count for anything? it seems kinda disingenous when what i'm sharing "alike" would only be a compiled binary which you can't really do much with. or would i have to release the source code, or what?

Beginners programming (20)

#!/usr/bin/anonymous

I'm sure you have seen this thread a million times, so once I get a satisfactory answer I will delete the thread.

What should the first language I learn be?
What program should I write it in?
What's the best compiler for the language you are advising me to try?
Should I do my work on Linux or Windows?
Best book, or site that will teach me the language?
Any other thoughts?

A Problem in Logic (41)

#!/usr/bin/anonymous

I need some help with a simple problem involving the basic logical operators: AND, OR, and NOT, along with the relational operator EQUAL TO, and truth values TRUE and FALSE.

Let's assume that we have a function tD() that tests whether 3 integers are all different. So, tD( 1, 2, 2 ) will return FALSE, and tD( 6, 6, 6 ) will return TRUE.

Now, my problem is to define a function the uses the above to determine whether or not 4 integers are equal. Let's call it

bool fE( a, b, c, d )

defined completely in terms of

bool tD( a, b, c)

and the aforementioned operators.

you can write in any code you prefer.
