It was only a matter of time, not a bad idea to name and shame people, if they get turned in even better. But at the same time people need to be aware that any vigilante action will surely not improve the situation. People can post their v

I think Prolog still has a place in modern software development. It provides a natural way of carrying out a backwards chaining depth first search through a state space (good for game AI, planning and scheduling etc). Also constraint solvin

I wasn't sure about this when I read your tag line here but I have to say that is pretty nifty. I think its the sheer simplicity that makes it a pleasure to use, typing a bunch of song titles seems to actually be quite a natural way to get

My opinion is as it stands, the site needs a lot of work. It doesn't convey what the motivation / advantages of your web app. With the actual functionality being very much in the early stages you really need to give a stronger message out a

While I'm not really a potential customer I have tried it out and I like the interface, you've kept it clear and to the point. Two things in terms of feedback - the name socialtrade implies that there is some kind of social aspect of the ap

It can't hurt. I've thought about doing similar, and have heard of many startup owners doing the same. While you're at it you may as well give the URL of your web app here. I'll take a look myself and let you know what I think, if you like.

I would think its fairly uncommon, though certainly not impossible, for someone with no knowledge of programming or web development to learn while building their product. With that said its not necessarily a bad idea in theory. You'll proba

Fantastic work, I have an ML exam coming up and this should really help. If I'm honest its one of the subjects I've struggled with the most. It seems experts in the field while incredibly intelligent, have a hard time breaking the material

I couldn't agree more with the sentiments of this post. Apart from anything else 'software developers' vary massively in their core strengths and job positions require different strengths in the candidates. Skill in developing algorithms an

The article kind of assumes developers and 'coders' are mutually exclusive, and seems to suggest Forrst is not for people who write code, after a glance at their home page for a couple of seconds it seems apparent this is not the case. Stil

Amusing at the very least, though I do feel some empathy with the sentiments expressed as well. I think the real trouble is its very hard to distil the act of programming into abstract 'methodologies' (I hate the [ab]use of that word) that

These are really nice and I like the style, I'm particularly impressed with the cash flow one. I would even say you're too harsh on yourself in thinking your apps are incomplete, compared to many other freely available web apps I'd say they

This is just an opinion, but if you need reminding to be thoughtful, you've already lost a lot of the essence of what thoughtfulness is all about. Being given suggestions about how to be thoughtful further removes the 'thought' from the so

"The compiler creates browser specific HTML and JavaScript to support all the major browsers correctly." I would dispute this line actually, and this is in fact one of my few gripes with GWT. When working with GWT-Ext, I found there were de

If I'm honest (and I'm hoping you're welcoming of honest feedback be it positive or negative), I think this is a ludicrous idea. The problem with something this polarising is, I fail to see how it could grow into a product everyone might us

Logic is an understated and often overlooked area of Computer Science. I think notes like these are fantastic and it's great for all future programmers to learn something about logic itself. There is however a problem with students not havi

You lost me at "performance at Maths A-Level is the best indicator of performance at degree level Computer Science". I'm a crap to mediocre mathematician, like many people I'm just not a natural. After dragging myself through the Maths part

I recently released a similar Android app called Color Scheme Magic. Its mainly a suggestion tool for colour schemes and there's no social element. Admittedly its features are somewhat lacking in comparison, but then there are few, if any,

I really like this, I'm not usually one to go for flashy looking websites but it communicates the idea very effectively in what is clearly a unique manner.

No Prolog, how sad! I suspect there wouldn't be a particularly high frequency of developers using it anyway but it would be nice to know what proportion do given a larger study.

I couldn't agree more with the sentiment that - often - stepping outside your comfort zone can lead to good things. However there has to be some reason you want to do it, despite it making you uncomfortable. Otherwise the fact that you're n

Well from the perspective of a programmer that doesn't know lisp, and has been put off in the past due to its syntax: I find this dialect much more appealing. Nested round brackets are pretty horrible to read / parse. Whether it destroys th

Very nice, Prolog is a vastly under rated language which is very useful for a lot of logic and decision making programming problems.

Lost interest when saw you have to implement your API in PHP... doesn't gel well with the interoperable web service vision of the future. If you could implement the API in any language, then you'd really be talking.
