I want to start programming again...

My head hurts.

I use English.

No pain. Solid programming language and solid platform.

Still one of the best servers in the world, if not the best.


Well stop reading now then.

OK I will/have :!:

At my work, we're using a wide range of languages, ASP.Net, Java, a bit of COBOL here and there for good measure ... and probably other languages or setups that I don't know about.

Anat0l, I don't know if you're wanting to leave the uni environment at some point (and I'm not even exactly sure whether you're a postgrad student, researcher or what), but an understanding of mining and coding skills would be useful in the companies that making mining software - Gemcomm, Mincom, Maptek, Runge, etc.

Perhaps he's in a little dilemma because someone has to moderate these posts. :mrgreen:

But at least one of our moderators is in this technical kind of area, right?

You are right. There are some people here who need to be watched. :shock:

But at least one of our moderators is in this technical kind of area, right?

One or three :!:

Nah. We are adults and can moderate ourselves.

Yes. I believe 2 moderators, possibly 3, have technical skills....

I'll stay with my bet of three.

As a software engineer, I can't think of anything worse than writing GUI apps for Windows. I'm glad there are others out there who feel differently so I don't have to do it!

I find it sad that 90% of the work these days seems to be making websites and/or databases.

So, unlike me, you have now contributed something to this discussion.

.... and I have now contributed everything I know within the topic boundaries :!:

You can always take the thread off-topic and start discussing helicopters.

It is written in the wrong language!

The answer is to ask yourself what happens if lo + high causes an overflow

Seriously I have no idea. I don't want to program in a language where a number has to be defined as long, short, int etc....

Implicitness is inherently evil, and here's the reason why.

Implicitness is inherently evil, and here's the reason why.

Strong typing was only briefly popular compared to dynamic typing. The latter still dominates the popular languages, although I'm not a big fan of it either. (Then again, I'm a strong advocate for OO and Design by Contract).

You could always give the argument, "There are no stupid languages, only stupid programmers".

String typing was advocated by those folk that got burned in C . They argue against Duck Typing as well.....

OK you got me. What happens? Overflow error?

Got me again....
