This is why it is so important to have freedom of thought, property, speech, and to be able to peaceably assemble. Enormous care must be given for opinions that cross unchangeable qualities (like race and gender). To state this from a te

Exactly, writing code in the same language as the OS (and their source examples) is generally the best approach ... based on what you're doing of course.

I want Windows to do well, I wish them no harm. But I feel that sadly, "8" has become another "Vista" (perception). I'm bored with any news about it and barring some really big changes there is not going to be any

That is why it is getting crazy important to get mentioned on sites like TechCrunch, etc. It is not the best mouse-trap that wins ... just be the most known and funded one.

Quote: "I think languages like Ruby and JavaScript will actually WANE in the far future as new languages come along". Correction: if it compiles everywhere ... it's not waning. C, C++, and JavaScript are with us for a long

Given what we know today, yes a new language is warranted. The reason I've stuck with C/C++ is because everything I've ever written still works. Meanwhile my friends are playing with new languages every year (and all the book

These guys should talk to the creators of VNOS 1.1 and ask how that went. Visual programming does have its place. My mom was able to make a website using Weebly without any help. However, as things get complex I personally can visualize (in

I was programming calculators in high school. So, I naturally enjoyed the activity. For you, since you don't know yet, you need to have an idea, a goal to code for. This way you can narrow down the domain experience, languages, and t

What a fantastic product offering. They've clearly been listening to their users. For those of you who may not understand: when lots of people are using your product to make money ... you can charge for your services.

One of the best things I did for myself was buying a 24" display, super nice Filco keyboard, and a good mouse. Pair all this with a table that is adjustable and a nice chair.

The sad state of affairs is that so many people assume native languages (C/C++) to be so complicated when in fact it is the environments and API that are commonly used with these languages that should bear the greater blame. I'm
