OP here. I can't take credit for that, though. ;-) It uses the highlight.js API for making the guesses, which provides the 2nd best option as well. :)

It's certainly not a common name, if even that. I'm Indian, and have never heard of someone called siri. "Shri" is often a part of longer names, though it's almost never used in isolation (I can't recall anyone whose first name was simply S

I was just trying to figure out a stored procedure that queries one table, loops over the rows, and within the loop queries another table using the values from the first query. Now, looping over these rows, it has a third query and a corres

Replace COBOL with PL/SQL and that's exactly my story. Here are a few things I could suggest: - Start with a smaller project, something that you could finish over a weekend. Finishing that kind of a project will leave you with the confidenc

That would be a challenge, wouldn't it? Without tests, a lot of people would hesitate to contribute, and with a small group of developers it would take some time to add tests to a somewhat large project like this. Any plans from Foradian on

Shouldn't the link be http://www.projectfedena.org/ ? You had a trailing /s in your link which was probably taking you to the 404 page.

Ah, that's good to hear. Funny that you answered this question while I was typing it over here. :D

Glad to hear that the project is moving to Github. Hopefully you'll see a lot of commits from the OSS community. So the team from Foradian will also be committing to the same github repo or will there be a parallel subversion repo within Fo

I do know that the project is being developed actively, although I believe the team has continued using subversion internally rather than move the project to github. Only the major versions are being pushed to github and the daily commits g

Thanks for the advice. I'll take a look at both of them and choose the one I'm more comfortable with. Both the books look quite interesting.

Thanks for the recommendations. A lot of people are suggesting different functional programming languages here -- Erlang, Clojure, Haskell, Scala and Lisp. I'm becoming more and more interested in learning Lisp before trying the other langu
84.
by nithinbekal 16y ago
My past attempts at understanding Clojure have failed badly. (I must say I didn't try that hard, though.) Would a foundation in Lisp make it easier to learn Clojure?

by nithinbekal 16y ago
Please correct me if I am wrong here, but isn't Groovy/Grails too similar to Ruby/Rails and Python/Django to make it much of a challenge to learn it? How different is it from Ruby or Python?

by nithinbekal 16y ago
Yeah, developing applications with ruby and rails is a lot of fun. It's easy to pick up the language, and once you know the basics of rails, building complex web apps becomes incredibly easy.

To be honest, I had to Google those names to find what the languages were like. :) Those are definitely going into the list of languages I would like to take another look at some day.

I've wanted to read the SICP book, but do you think the book may be too advanced for someone who knows next to nothing about Lisp and functional languages?

by nithinbekal 16y ago
The main reason I'm looking for a new language to learn is so that I could understand programming concepts better. I took up electronics in college and then moved to software development, so my foundation in programming isn't very good. Tha

I've taken a look at those resources. In fact, I even read a bit of Learn You a Haskell and tried writing some code. And yes, I am not looking for a language that I will use on a daily basis. If I wanted to build something now, I will pick
