Programmer's Thread (JS, Ruby, Python, PHP, HTML, C#, jQuery, etc)

[bcj]

Working from home now, so mostly have the gogglebox on tuned to news, CSPAN(x) or PBS.
During the day when I'm working, it's just white noise until I take a break to stretch or something startling is going on.
Save music mostly for long drives or I want to hear something specific at home.
Tell the truth, since I got the FR-S I've turned on the radio once and plugged in a Sanza Fuze once to see if it worked.

Probably run the music more once the novelty wears off.
The punk era and reggae were happening when I started. Had an older collection of Yardbirds / Eno / Stones, that sort of stuff.
First 33 album I bought was Abraxas, so yeah. Blues is another big part.
Been hearing bits and pieces of Black Keys songs lately that seem to resonate.
Have to look into them.

I'm a programmer as well. Pretty much C#, MVC, and SQL. Been using javascript more lately but I prefer backend stuff.

Just a warning, if anyone ever has to use LogiXML, RUN. RUN FAST AND DON'T LOOK BACK. I have to use it at work right now and it's terrible. What little documentation there is, is very vague. It doesn't work very well and the code it produces is terrible.

I used to do web design as a hobby many years ago but I was always primarily into graphic design. Now I am way behind on my coding skills.

Just ran through the CodeAcademy.com lessons for HTML, CSS, and jQuery. Doesn't go into much depth but I have learned a bunch of things I never picked up before. Starting with the Javascript next.

Codecademy is definitely good

Hey guys, so I just recently finished building my site, check it out @ www.StanceTrader.com

It's a marketplace where you can buy-and-sell car parts. Listing is free too! Would love to hear some feedback, whether good or bad. Let me know!

How do you like it so far? I don't do see C#, but I've heard from other 'experts' that it's basically a rip-off of JS.

C# is in no way a rip-off of JS.

JS runs client side in a browser, C# runs either server side for the web, or natively in an OS for windows apps.

C# is syntactically similar to JS, but that's because JS is similar to Java, which is similar to C. C# probably borrowed a bit from Java in it's infancy, but they are definitely distinct languages with their own paths now.

I don't think HTML and CSS even belong in the same class as real programming languages lol. I mean there is some crossover but true programming I feel is way more involved (maybe its just because I've been doing HTML and CSS for so long and on a daily basis).

I recently bought objective c programming: the big nerd ranch guide by aaron hillegass and have been trying to read it and program in Xcode as much as I can. Any tips from the more advanced programmers?

Learn ANSI C (especially pointers!!!) solidly then look at objective C. C++ and Objective C are both object oriented takes on C, but are pretty different in a lot of areas. I'm not an expert in either, but I've played more with Objective C than C++. I learned ANSI C and C99 in school to teach us the hard way to do things

It's always an on-going experiment, but I've listened to many types of music while coding or learning some new code technique, but I feel as if listening to NO music at all is best for me. Would be nice to hear everyone's opinion on this.

I ALWAYS have music going, keeps me focused and I work much faster.

A-ma-zing!

As for me, I'm a full time C#/mySQL developer working on web sites and API's. I've worked with PHP in the past, but mostly everything is .net now. I've also done a bunch with MSSQL at my previous job. Still lots of HTML/JS/CSS as well, almost all the JS is jquery though.
