No experience myself, but I know this.
Knowing the author, I'm pretty sure this is a good book. *And* it has a Creative Commons license.

Re: Other languages. Any good books?
I second everything K-Bal said. The most important thing is having the desire to learn, and you seem to be on the right track. I'll drop a few specific suggestions here, with a big warning that they are all biased because of my personal preferences. I'll reorder you original post a bit: Its been a l...

Re: I really don't miss VB6
Lmao, never heard of that. That's a *gaping* security hole. It's so easy to proxy that request to MITM... Hopefully it wasn't used for anything important. Just spent half an hour heavily searching my brain/the internet, here it is . I recommend reading the entire article. When they say "a come...

Re: I really don't miss VB6
This reminds me of that software (can't remember which one) that, instead of generating a random number locally, made a http request to some website. And it was worse, because they didn't check for errors, so one day the website went down (or changed the api, or something) and now all clients had th...

I think Falco deserves a Turing award just for the amount of people the series has got into programming.

I realized after posting that mpv/youtube-dl had chosen the best quality available to play, which is some ridiculous resolution that I don't even think my eyes can see properly.dandymcgee wrote:Dude.. how do you survive?bbguimaraes wrote:Damn, my computer can't even play a *video* of the game decently.

Re: Sorting the code && Storing the files.
Sorry, I didn't realize you were talking about java. Let me try another example of static members. Say you want to track how many objects of a particular class have been created. One way to do it is using a static variable on the class that gets updated on the constructor: public class Foo { public ...

Re: Sorting the code && Storing the files.
edit : by the way, what I describe here are static methods . Static members and the static qualifier for variables are entirely different (but somewhat related) things. Let me give you my take: in c++, static methods are not bound to an instance of a class. Usually, if you have: class Foo { public:...

Re: Java Sucks
My bachelor's thesis was based on a java application (weka). It was actually quite nice. In my experience, java's bad reputation suffers much more from the windows/enterprise kind of software companies write (and they would write shitty software even in haskell or lisp) than anything in the language...

Re: Java Sucks
No hard feelings, but did you create an account on the forum just to defend java? That and Microsoft embracing open source in a single week... The programming world really is going crazy.
