I know all about the graphic design major but that's not what I'm looking for. I've been looking into graphics programming for video-games lately and can't seem to figure out what major to take or which one deals with it the most. That and any colleges with good graphic programming programs would be greatly appreciated.
What major to take for graphic PROGRAMMING?

What is object oriented programming and how does it relate to code reuse.?
I am learning how to do programming and I don't quit understand what object oriented programming is and how it relates to code reuse and what does code reuse means. Can someone tell me and give me some examples please.
Thank you
What is object oriented programming and how does it relate to code reuse.?
Perhaps you have to write a program that hadles users, stores their data into database, does some accounting calculations... You can write a program that consists of several parts - objects:
Object - User - with fields first name, last name, SSN...
Methods to set fields and to get fields.
Then you write Objects that use Object User say UserPayroll... calculate their income and such.
The implementation of User is separated from the User class,
in other words you can re-use the Object User in another application that will do different manupilations say write another object for ths - UserLogin or whatever - on Users - this is code re-use.
Reply:In object oriented programming the main emphasis is on the object. In 'C' langage(its not object oriented) the main emphasis is on code, object is given less importance. However in object oriented programming(like C++, java etc) object is given high importance.
Now coming to code re-usability, consider u write a program to add two numbers using methods. Now u need to write a program for all types of calculations say +,-,/,* now you can import the first program to the present program and by reusing the existing code u gain advantage of not writing the same code in different programs.

Some programming languages are type less. What are the obvious advantage and disadvantages of having no types?
Some programming languages are type less. What are the obvious advantage and disadvantages of having no types in a language?
Some programming languages are type less. What are the obvious advantage and disadvantages of having no types?
Having no types allows for more flexibility. This is both an advantage and disadvantage. The absence of types can create ambiguity as to the contents of a variable.
Reply:Advantages:
The only advantage is that is allows coders to write sloppy programs quickly.
Disadvantages:
1 You are not in control of the data and variables, the compiler or interpreter is.
2 If you mis-assign variables, there is no way for the compiler to catch any of your mistakes. It just "does what you said", even if it is wrong.
3 Supporting programs in a type-less language is much more difficult that in a strongly types one. It is often very difficult to determine what the original programmer wanted to do.
Reply:advantages:
you don't have to worry about types!! well it means, you don't care what you can and can not store in any particular variable. for example:
a_variable = could_be_integer_string_or_object_you_do...
2) you can re assign other stuffs to the same variable. for example
a_variable = 30
a_variable = "this is now string"
disadvantages
Well a lot! most of the is not apparent to programmer but the parser! it is slow for parser because it has to keep track what you are doing with the variable.
second and important one is that its not good programming habit and not accepted by powerful languages (c/c++/java). It allows programmer to make mistake easily.

What programming languages do I need to learn to create an auction site?
I want to create an auction site, with simular (but extended) features compared to eBay.
I'm in the process of learning CSS (already know HTML).
Which programming languages would I need to learn? Or, if you think it'll take too long, what kind of languages should I use to build this site?
I wish Yahoo Auctions was still around :(
What programming languages do I need to learn to create an auction site?
Rather than reinventing the wheel, why don't you use an open-source auction site software, of which there are plenty?
http://sourceforge.net/search/?type_of_s...
Most auction software worth its salt is going to be PHP and MySQL.
Reply:Take a look at these from Microsoft. They are free.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vbasic/...
Maybe one of these will work.
Reply:most likely you would need PHP programming knowledge, as well as experience with MySQL databases. If you are going to be handling credit card or confidential information then you should be aware of security issues.

How to learn programming by someone who knows the basics?
Hi,
Programming is my profession and I know the basics of programming. Yet I'am not able to convert my knowledge into successful programs or I feel stressed to learn new things in programming. so things that run on my mind are...how to practice programming, how to learn from mistakes, how to learn new things that keeps coming every day, how to experiment, how to remember syntax etc. I need something like a guideline. I hope someone can clarify me on this. Thanks.
How to learn programming by someone who knows the basics?
It just takes practice. Single out things you don't understand, like some kind of design pattern or data structure, and write simple isolated apps to test it. I find that I learn best not by doing things right, but by trying and making mistakes I can understand what not to do, and eventually avoid making mistakes altogether with things I am familiar with.
Reply:First off, you need to specialize in a type of programming, programming is too broad to try and be an expert in everything.. Step one, specialize in a type of programming .
If you're planning on doing application level programming (writing programs for windows/ mac /linux) while you still can use C/C++ its much easier and you'll be more productive learning something like Visual Basic .NET, or Java or some other application programming languages.
You need to determine what you want to do and then apply the best programming language.. Below is a general guideline.
C/C++ : Systems Level programming, Operating systems, hardware , API's etc.
.NET /C# : Windows Application programming
JAVA : Middle-ware , corporate programming
PHP, ASP , CFM: Web site, web applications
That should narrow down the focus.. .from there, stay up on the trends in your particular area, work on manageable projects.
Reply:Hire a private tutor to give you guidance.
Reply:You may want to work with experienced programmers. Not just any wanna-be programmer, but those who are already successful at writing programs. By spending time around them, you can absorb their approach to programming.
You may want to start with working on open source projects. Find a large, reputed project with talented developers and spend time around them. Seeing how they think and approach programming can help you as well.
Reply:Depends what kind of programming you want to do. visual basic or c++.
visual basic is way easier than c++ but c++ is used more in video games and stuff like that.
You can find books at a used book store or go online to find books. they are not too expensive.

Is it to late to start a programming degree at 28?
Trying to improve my job position with a programming degree. Hopefully not too late to start.....
Is it to late to start a programming degree at 28?
Too late, never. There is currently a large number of software folks that are disheartened with the field and a lot of kids these days are passing up those types of degrees. We had a large influx about 5 years ago, but the enrollment levels in software degrees have dropped off dramatically (in the US) from what I've read. That implies that the job market in a few years won't be as awful as it was a year or two ago for programmers.
For what it's worth, I went back for a degree starting when I was 26. Great decision for me.
Reply:Its never too late to get a better education. Go for it.

What is the best web application programming language to learn?
I currently write all my web apps in ASP, VBScript, JScript, SQL and of course, HTML. But I want to learn a new language that allows me to do more. Any suggestions? NOTE: I dislike .NET stuff. I would like to get completely away from Microsoft technologies.
What is the best web application programming language to learn?
PHP
Reply:I agree that .NET stuff is horrid. I would suggest looking into Python. I see and hear many good things about this. Although PHP is very popular now, I think Python is the up and coming language.
You may also get suggestions about Ruby but I feel this is just too new and might just be the 'language of the week'.
Reply:It would depend on if you are programming for yourself, or wish to get hired to do it.
Java and .Net are the two serious languages for professional developers. Before I get flamed by anyone, I would ask them to show me one Fortune 500 company doing any serious enterprise development using other languages.
On the other hand if you wish to learn quickly and have fun, I would suggest Ruby and specifically Ruby On Rails. It will be a breeze to get started. Python has been around quite a while and has never gained any serious following. If you wish to pursue it look at Zope.

What are considered "corner points" in linear programming?
In precalc we are currently learning linear programming. However, my teacher isn't very good at explaining things. I understand that corner points are solutions to the inequalities, but what I don't understand is how you determine which set of solutions are corner points. Because aren't there numerous solutions? So how do you determine which ones to use for finding the max and min of the objective function? Any help would be great. Thanks.
What are considered "corner points" in linear programming?
Hi,
If you determine all your inequalities and graph them, they will give you a shaded area for the entire system. Any point in the shaded region makes the inequalities true, but MINIMUM and MAXIMUM values always occur at a corner point along the outside of your shaded area.
So, find the intersection points of each side of your shaded figure. If it was in the shape of a triangle, there are 3 corner points on the triangle. A rectangle, parallelogram or trapezoid would have 4 corner points. Find all of their coordinates.
Then you will generally have a price formula or minimum cost formula with x and y variables in it. Plug your corner point values into this equation (which is not graphed) and find your minimum or maximum value that the problem wants.
I hope that helps!! Good luck with your math!! :-)

How do i get into Contract Programming Work from Home?
Degree certified and have been software developer for 5 years now but looking at getting some more work doing contract jobs from my home office. But haven't a clue where to look for this type of work. Any pointers would be appreciated.
How do i get into Contract Programming Work from Home?
I do a lot of contract work, have done for some time but not in programming. Try www.reed.co.uk. This site provide lots of agencies the are based in the UK. First thing they will ask for (the agency) is an up to-date resume. Don't know what sort of programming you do but if you become a limited company (which is also very easy to do), you can ask in the region of 40 quid per hour upwards or payment on completion, it's up to you. Best of luck, any more questions, add them to the original, will add you to watch list.

What are the physical surroundings, work hours, and mental and physical demands of computer programming ?
What training and educational background is needed for this area of employment? Will these career area be in demand in the future? What are the starting and advanced salaries for this job?
What are the physical surroundings, work hours, and mental and physical demands of computer programming ?
I've worked with programmers for more than 10 years now. Sometimes they are in isolated cubes, not seeing anyone all day. Other times, they are packed into a common room, 5 feet apart. The atmosphere is usually like a morgue---no noise, unless there is a heated argument on how to implement something.
Hours? LONG. Plan on working your days off.
Mental demands: Must be able to visual abstract concepts. Must be able to remember where one file is and what its name is out of 5000 other files in that directory and what files are associated with it or dependent upon it.
Physical demands: Carpal tunnel, numb shoulders, arms, and butt. Must be able to tolerate lots of caffeine and sugar.
Must pry the body off the chair after 21 hour sessions.
Reply:Physical demands can be quite low for a computer programmer in todays world however mental requirements can be high and tend to be stessful. Work hours can be hectic at best when crunch time hits and you may find yourself putting in extra hours without additional pay. You typically are working in a development team and not on your own, allowing you to play towards your strengths but at the same time gaining help in your weaker language and syntax areas.
The job itself is always in high demand however the area you specialize in will greatly influence your desirability for employers. I recommend taking college freshman courses first, Intro to Computer Programming, JavaScript, VBasic, QBasic, Cobolt, etc to see if the field interests you that much. One will also need to decide which area they will specialize in; whether it is Web programming (shopping carts, server side programs, CGI scripts for guestbooks and other form handling) or and of the other numerous other industries. Intro should effectively give you an idea of what to expect in the workforce for this field. To make it in the field you will likely need to be able to write programs in several different coding languages and keep the code tidy, efficient, and lacking in what is called spagetti code structure.
Your physical surroundings will typically be at a cubicled desk with access to a production network and server with the tools you need to design, build, test, and implement your program coding.
Wages will vary of course depending on the job and averages change yearly. I would say the current starting salary is around 30,000 a year with a degree, bachelors or most often an AS in programming with certificates in the desired languages, and probably upwards of 50,000 senior with some making over 70,000. This is however a rough estimate and not researched recently, based mostly off two year old research and current Information Technology wages.
Reply:To be honest I just took c and c++ in programming c++ was easy. I believe it had to do with the instructor change and the books were different. But I think it will pay off. Normally you will start out as an apprentice and work with someone a journeyman then get picked up by a company with a starting salary around 35-40k if you make your own buisness and try to muscle the big companies around normally they will buy you out for a great profit and you will make 60-70k then depending on your experience and company you work for your salry will vary. Does that make sense?
Reply:You need to be proficient at XBOX, drink loits of diet coke, eat doritos and have plenty of zits and no personality.

Im subbing through a contractor for the trim and finish install at a ridiculously expensive house. Need to program 3 MX-300's for theatres. Should take 6 hours or so but not sure what to charge. Any pros with advice out there??
How much to charge for remote programming?
Typical support charges for this would run at about $120 per hour.
Reply:When I was programming the MX-300s, I think they were charging $100 for the service. Call around and see how companies handle it: hourly or flat-rate.
Reply:To have an idea ask a professional store or bussines related to that and ask them how much they charge for the job

How to set significant figures in Java Programming language?
I'm writing a simple ATM machine for my java programming class. I currently have it all set to work and my only problem is that when there is no change to be displayed. EX 100.00, is displayed as 100.0, or One dollar is displayed as 1.0. How can I set it to display currectly like a true ATM machine would do with both decimal places. Thanks for you help
How to set significant figures in Java Programming language?
Java 1.5 offers a printf-like formatting via java.util.Formatter or via the 'printf' method of an output stream:
e.g.: System.out.printf("%.2f", (double)100); or
String output = String.format("%.2f", (double)100);
Reply:The answer you are looking for is the printing. You select how many decimals there are at the print stage. Look at the DecimalFormat class for the secrets.
However this is NEVER done in the real world. You'd use something like BCD or integer arithmetic to ensure that you have no awkward decimal fractions to deal with.

However this is NEVER done in the real world. You'd use something like BCD or integer arithmetic to ensure that you have no awkward decimal fractions to deal with.

How do I write a linear programming model that involves production maximization?
I have a production maximization question involving 5 pieces of equipment. 2 pieces of machinery operate at a certain speed while 3 other machines operate at a different speed. I have three components to produce and need to know how to write a linear equation to solve this.
How do I write a linear programming model that involves production maximization?
Try this in matrix format if the linear program doesn't come to mind first.
Ax = B
Let A be your equipment function, x represent the machinery speeds, and B represent your output.

What inequalities do i need to solve this linear programming problem ?
a bicycle store makes two models of off-road bikes : the X which sells for 250 dollars and the Y which sells for 350 dollars. both use the same frame but the painting and assembly time required for the x is two hours, while the time is 3 hours for the y. there are 375 frames and 450 hours of labor available for production. how many of each model should be produced in order to maximize profit?
What inequalities do i need to solve this linear programming problem ?
Your problem is missing information. It doesn't say how much profit each bike makes. If you want to maximize revenue, then this is how you solve.
You need to maximize the revenue function
revenue=250x+350y
your inequalities are:
x %26gt;= 0 (can't have negative number of bike x)
y %26gt;=0 (can't have negative number of bike y)
2x+3y%26lt;=450 (labor hours)
x+y%26lt;=375 (# of frames)

What programming language can submit information into a form on a website and send it?
I am making a program with actionscript 2 and zinc, and need to log in to a site with given username and password. The site's send button uses javascript if that makes any difference.
My program opens a browser instance so I was thinking Visual Basic might be able to fill in the form mechanically. Or is there some other way?
Javascript?PHP?ASP?
Also it must work with all (major) browsers.
Any help or pointers greatly appreciated.

In perl programming what is a complete code that write a program that reads two integers from standard input?
(one at a time), divides the first one by the second one, and prints out the quotient (the result) and the remainder?
In perl programming what is a complete code that write a program that reads two integers from standard input?
use %26lt;STDIN%26gt; or %26lt;%26gt; and go from there.
Reply:This is not by any change a homework isn't it? :-)
You will need %26lt;STDIN%26gt; or %26lt;%26gt; to get the values, probably some regex or "split" to parse the value out if you want both integers are entered in one line (see perlre and perlsyn). The calculating construct you can find in perlop (search for "divide" and "modulus") and perlfunc (search for "integer portion"). If you want to do this multiple time, you will need put everything in a "while" loop (read perlsyn).
To read documentation you can issue a command:
perldoc perlsyn
perldoc perlfunc
perldoc perlop
or from perldoc site below.

How can I cast a String variable value into a double variable in Java Programming?
I spent all day to figure this out %26amp; I get an error when trying to compile. I am trying to write a code using Java Programming. The code bascially gets a value from the user and does some calculation and prints out the result. The value that I get from the user should be String and I should cast it into double variable, how do I do this? Thanks a bunch!!
How can I cast a String variable value into a double variable in Java Programming?
hello, for java programmers it is very much easy. u r also trying to become a good java programmer. keep it up.
consider the following code segment.
double dTot;
String s = "11316500.00"
double dTot=Double.parseDouble(s);
in this way you can convert the string to the double variable.
Note: you can convert the double basic data type to the object as
Double dObj = new Double(s);
this can be used at the situation when you want to convert the double value to the object.

Reply:Try using a Double object with the method
static Double parseDouble (String s)
with s being the string you wish to convert

Reply:The cool stuff happens after about 10 years of experience. i hate to be a downer, but it's true.
Reply:Yeh, the theory can get tedious, but it will teach you the principles behide your code. Alot of gaming code is very complicated and mathematically based due to graphics, speed, user interaction, many things. Now that you're learning java, you can concentrate on the object orientated aspects.
As you gain experience, you can utilize many libraries that take out some of the tedious/repetitive aspects. But in order to use them, you really should know what they're doing and be able to adapt them to your application.
It's worth the ramp up time - it's a very creative field and you can concentrate on the things you enjoy doing with it once you do have the basics down. The best of luck - just a little time!

What's the best programming language for a beginner to learn?
I'm interested in learning how to write computer programmes but I'm a complete beginner and intend to teach myself, using books etc.
What do you consider is the best to start with. I'm thinking along the lines of C++, Java, Visual Basic.
What's the best programming language for a beginner to learn?
defenetly C++
the best book to have for this language is Ivor Horton's Beginning Visual C++
and you'll need a full Microsoft Visual Studio
don't take C++ Express Edition because it doesn't have many essentials for learning the language
Reply:As usual Learning C++ is one of the best language for beginners. But I will suggest you to learn VB.NET, coz it is one of the easiest language I have ever Learned. And I think this is the only language in which newbies can make windows application like professionals. You can even use SQL without knowing SQL. BBye .
Reply:Client Side, I would recommend C++ for application development; however, I would recommend looking in to some Server Side scripting such as PHP/MySQL. There is so much you can do with both, but I believe as a beginner you could have more fun working with the internet and contributing to its growth.
Reply:C++
Reply:Seriously, take no notice of the C++ and .NET answers, they will take you many, many hours to achieve very little.
The real answer is that it depends on what type of programs you want to write but a very good place to start is one of the current versions of Basic. I would recommend you start with RapidQ. It is free, easy to build console, gui or cgi programs. Easy to learn and lots of samples to practice with.
There is also a pretty active and helpful group here in Yahoo.
Why start with Basic? You can start with writing programs which work rather than having to struggle with just getting a basic window on the screen.
Reply:C++ is one of the most difficult languages to master, but if you find a good tutorial, it can be easy to learn. I'm not a huge Visual Basic fan, mostly because I don't like .NET Framework, but that's just me. Also, Java is relatively easy to learn, except the tutorial at Java's website is just plain s--- for beginners.
Edit: The Express Edition of Visual Studio is just fine for learning C++, don't waste money on the full version. JUST BE SURE to download the header files from Microsoft's site.

Reply:I was tutoring a 7 year old a few years ago. My only job was to get him interested in learning again...since the school kind of sucked him dry of that.
One thing I did was teach him some HTML. I started with just basic stuff - how to set the background and fonts, how to add pictures, how to do some effects that most of us would find annoying (but he thought it was cool that he could scroll text across the screen).
HTML may be a good way to start him. Teach him a little easy JavaScript as well once he gets good at the HTML. I know HTML isn't a "programming language," but its a good place to start. And once he gets into JavaScript, he'll begin to understand the basics of programming and can go from there if he's interested to learn more.
Just a thought!

I majored in Computer Science in college. In 1st year, we all started with C++.
If you are not sure, browse through a Dummies book. If you are close to entering college, then I wouldn't waste too much money on books, as you will use different books in college.
Amazon is a great source for books,if you want to read reviews and buy a book. It's difficult to learn a computer language from scratch, when you are not in a classroom setting with assignments and projects.
If you can, I would focus your studies in web programming languages like C#. If you can program in a .Net environment, you will get a job fast. Of course, that is the way the market is now. Who knows what it will be like after you gradudate from college.

What is the best programming language out there today?
Please do not respond with, "It depends on .... " I'd just like to know what you think is the best language.
What is the best programming language out there today?
C++, hands down, is the best out there. It's not by any means the hardest out there to use and professionals do not find it hard, despite what a previous answerer said. There are much harder languages (assembler, anyone?) that really are hard. C++ gives you tremendous flexibility and produces tight, fast code.
Visual Basic is right behind it on my list. It's easier and you don't spend so much time on details. The idea is that you never have to worry about exactly how the array or string or whatever is handled. Eventually, however, you're going to NEED to control one of those details. This is where VB falls down. It's easy at first, but eventually you end up fighting the language trying to control or modify something it does "for you". With C++ there are libraries that do things for you, but you really can get behind the scenes and get the kind of control you need.
This is why professional programs are almost 100% C++. Visual basic for custom programs and little shareware apps, sure, but C++ is what real programs are written in.
Hope this helps.

For most of the work I do, I like Ada. I used to be a huge fan of C++, but now the only thing I think C++ really has on Ada is string processing (it's a pain in Ada). I don't do much of that, though. Ada is especially great for safety-critical systems--in-depth data typing mechanisms, safety features and checks, with all of the speed of C++.
Scripting-wise, Perl for sure. The pattern matching is unstoppable!

Where is a good tutorial website to learn programming/software engineering if you've had intro classes?
I am trying to update my programming/software engineering skills to better suit the current environment. I have had two introductory classes, which were mainly focused on Java and C. I know the basics of programming in these languages, and I know what data structures are (stacks, queues, trees, etc.). However, I am having trouble with setting up the GNU development tools such as make and gdb, as well as with the concept of a makefile, since we were never taught about this. I'm also trying to understand this software engineering/lifecycle stuff, and how it can fit into the design of software.
Would there be a tutorial website that would help with these concepts along with the more advanced concepts in software development? Thanks!

What programming was used to make MySpace and YouTube?
I'm curious to know what kind of programming was used to build MySpace and YouTube. Was Ajax/php involved?
I'm very interested in learning programming to make my own applications, but I don't have a clue where to begin. Any suggestions?
What programming was used to make MySpace and YouTube?
I have to agree with manuelriliz. For web development php is a very good choice. Of course, if you intend to do any such thing, knowledge of html and SQL syntax for interfacing with MySQL or other database knowledge is practically required.
For general purpose apps that are not web dependent, it would depend somewhat on what type of program you want to make.
I like Perl, but it's well suited to what I use it for.
I've used C++, VB, ObjectPAL, LISP, etc. all for certain purposes that they worked well for. JAVA is basically a replacement for C++ and is good for all-around general programming. Most gaming apps are still written in C++ and more recently in C#.
Reply:If you want to learn how to program, for god's sake don't use myspace as an example. It was designed by monkeys in Cold Fusion and they haven't been able to maintain it because the monkeys went off the deep end after being logged out for the 30th time in a single session.
YouTube is well written but written in Python. I wouldn't really recommend it.
Start with PHP. Pretty much every server supports it, it's easy, it's secure, it's fast. And there's lots of prebuilt packages for it.
Reply:If you are already a programmer, then I'd suggest starting with learning basic HTML / XHTML and PHP, and delay learning about AJAX. The reason is because the concepts of listeners and events in a very amorphous language like javascript are often difficult to grasp, even for experienced programmers.
I'd also suggest picking one browser to work with until you are able to fully understand browser incompatibilities. You can save yourself a lot of frustration by doing that.
If you are not a programmer at all, and are interested in getting to know it better. I'd suggest working with either perl or C. Those languages will acquaint you with basic programming constructs and patterns that will pay big dividends when working with a more modern web scripting language.

What programming language should i stick to i want become a video game programmer.?
Ave longed to be a programmer and i just began a programming school, so am just asking for the best programming language to stick to if i want to become video programmer.
What programming language should i stick to i want become a video game programmer.?
there are many platforms for making video games.. some are:
console games
pc games
mobile/cellphone games
arcade games
etc.
among the list, the easiest to build games is PC and Mobile.
in PC, the programming language used most is C++.. C++ is a very powerful programming language because of it's powerful OOP feature.. and takes time to master.. games such as Half-Life, Doom, Warcraft, etc. is somewhat made using this language..
in Mobile, Java is the programming language. Symbian is also used since it is the OS of most phones..
I do not know what language is used by other platforms..
hope this helps.
Reply:Learn as much you can from each language because each developer can pick which way to go and you do not want to be left out because you only learned C++.
When you have time just get in the habbit of learning new languages and what maked them different.
Reply:Most comercial games are coded in C++ i believe, but if you're starting off then maybe go for Java, or how about Flash? You can create some excellent stuff with actionScript.
I recommend you download blender, it's free 3d software with great features for games creators. I'm sure there are lots of tutorials you would find interesting.
Reply:Learning any language is helpful as it will teach you the standard concepts of programming, algorithms, etc. Once you know the algorithm (or logical steps) to do something, you can write the program in any language. Just look up the syntax for that language.
The most commonly used programing language today is C or C++. Would recommend that as one of the languages you will want to learn. But as C is also one of the most confusing languages, starting with something like Java is a good idea. Advance to C after that.

How do I get into a top graduate program in bioinformatics (MS) with no programming experience?
I have a BS in biochemistry from UNH with an emphasis on genetics/bioinformatics, have worked for years as one of
the foremost experts with regard to Sequence Listing preparation, have worked as an applications specialist for an international bioinformatics company, worked several years as a professional biosequence searcher for the IP field, have been a member of the US Patent bar for 4 years, have developed biosequence software for the IP field with a friend. I was published a few years ago on a comparison of biosequence algorithms. I currently work as an IP legal assistant in the Patent group of a prominent Boston law firm.
Good real world experience- but I have never taken a computer science class. I essentially have told people what the software should do and why, how to present results, beta-test software/look for bugs etc..
Do I audit classes? What languages/order do I learn them? How important is bioperl?
How do I get into a top graduate program in bioinformatics (MS) with no programming experience?
I don't get it -- you have plenty of real-world experience that might be better in many ways than academic experience.
Talk to the school you want to go to and ask them. They'll probably recommend that after you get into the program you'll have to take some make-up courses in computer science foundation topics, which could add a year or two to your degree, but getting in shouldn't be a problem.
Reply:It depends on their expectation on your skill level. People can learn a programming language in a few days time without prior experience.

What is the best programming language to learn by a layperson?
I am fairly adept at computers, but am finding out that I must learn a program if I want to automate tasks in office (visual basic i believe) and am really interested in learning how to automate websites. But what language is the best for me to start learning? I have limited time to spend, so have to really hit the right one off the bat.
What is the best programming language to learn by a layperson?
Doug mentioned Visual Basic as an easy to learn language. I would agree but you would be limited by supported browsers, ie. Internet explorer only.
I suggest you read up on javascript. It is similar to visual basic, but is the standard scripting language for all browsers. An added bonus of learning javascript is that it is basically the same as actionscript as used in Adobe Flash. Adobe recently released the actionscript engine to Mozilla which is being built into Firefox for a future release.

Reply:Java is NOT easy to learn. It is extremely strict with casting, data types, and case sensetivity.
The easist language to learn (BY A LONG MARGIN) is Visual Basic. the .NET version is object oriented, but the intelli-sense in the VS editor, copled with it's easy casing rules and HUGE amount of doccumentation make it the easiet.
Before all of you Java kings out there have a COW, I did not say it was the BEST language. It is; however, the easiest to learn.
Reply:Start by learning Classic ASP for beginners. You can learn VB.NET. Do a search for VB.NET tutorials or Classic ASP tutorials. Or go to w3schools.com to learn both.
I use C#.NET, which if you learn both, you will find that they are very similar in syntax in more ways then none.

Mozilla Firefox shows all the programming code on files. How do I stop that?
Any time I download an email or a site, and then open the file either from the hard drive or a cd, the programming codes fill the page and it is diffeicult the read the message. Is this a virus from Firefox? How can I stop this problem? It is a big aggrevation. Can I get rid of Firefox and still keep all the bookmarked pages?
Mozilla Firefox shows all the programming code on files. How do I stop that?
That is because your computer does not have the software to open these files so it is using your default browser to open these files. The files might be corrupt or you might need to get the software that will open them correctly for you.
Reply:Sure, you can save your Firefox bookmarks at any time - do "Manage Bookmarks" command and then tell it to "Export" them.
No idea what you are talking about with programming codes. Not sure how you are downloading a "web site". An email downloaded into a file, like .eml file format, has a bunch of header info and stuff on it - that would look like "programming codes" to you, perhaps. Though it is data, not programming.
I should point out here, that Firefox is not an email client - it is a web page browser.
Thunderbird is the sister program of Firefox, which is used for reading email. Perhaps you should check it out today, after you get your browser or OS problems sorted out. Thunderbird seems to do a pretty good job as: email composer/reader, Newsgroup reader, Newsfeed reader, email organizer, etc.
You might have simply gotten your Encoding/Language settings set wrong in Firefox. Check your Firefox preferences.
You might have also gotten your MIME type and/or file suffix settings set wrong, or deleted an application that you currently have set as the viewer for them, in which case the OS might default to opening them as text files (which they clearly are not) in the default system text editor.
Be careful what kind of whacky stuff you are trying to "download" from email or websites. You can really mess up your computer by grabbing the wrong thing. Some of it is like picking up broken glass.
You can uninstall Firefox just like any other application problem. On the Macintosh, simply drag it to the Trash and do an Empty Trash command in Finder. On MS-Windows, it is a bit more complicated: you must click "Start" button (the one you use to shut down your computer), then "Settings", then "Control Panels", then "Add/Remove Programs" (whew!) - and then finally you can pick Firefox and click the "Uninstall" program.
You did not mention which OS you are running, but with all the confusion that is occurring, I am guessing Windows. Mac users never ask if they can get rid of a free application they downloaded - they just do it.
In case some of your problems are caused by your operating system settings or whatever, I am including a link to the Annoyances.org website.
Personally, it does not sound like Firefox is the cause of your problems. It sounds like simple confusion and/or messed up OS or browser settings, probably the former.
Check the file format (via filename suffix or MIME type) of the file you are trying to read. I am providing reference links so you can see what they are, and if Firefox supports them. It supports virtually anything, so I suspect you are trying to look at something that you simply do not have a viewer for.
Make sure you have the latest version of Firefox too. The current one is 1.5.0.3 as I write this.

What is the difference between Release and Debug modes in C programming language?
When I run my program in debug and release formats I have two different final solutions.I do not know what is the problem?because all the conditions are the same also I use one seed point for both versions.
I would be appreciated if somone help me.
Majid.
What is the difference between Release and Debug modes in C programming language?
The release mode is meant for production environment while
the debug mode is made for testing environment. reason?
Because debug mode contain lots of information like line
number etc. which can be helpful to solve a given bug location.
Also a debugger requires object compiled with debug
mode. Release mode is a optimised code to run at production
systems. There is no additional debug information in it.
Hope it helps!

I love software developement and i'm finding it almost imposible to find a job as software developer, as i have no comercial experience whatsoever! Any advice? Do you think i should apply for an unpaid internship? If yes, where can i find it ?

Reply:If you add electrical skills to your bag of tricks, you can probably find work in writing software for Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC's). The industry pays fairly well and it is demanding work, but it is also satisfying work.
PLC's are computers that control industrial processes. They turn on motors, move actuators, measure temperatures and pressures, etc... It is more difficult for people in other countries to replace you because you have to be present at the factory for a lot of the work that must be done.
If you decide to go down this path, look for an electrical contractor or plant maintenance group that will take you on at entry level. That way they can teach you a lot of the electrical work (study theory on your own at night!) while you get paid to learn. Work your way into getting your hands on the PLC code from there. You might have to change companies a couple of times in the process, but you will have a career if you learn how to design, wire, install, program, and maintain PLC systems.
Keep in mind that this isn't like writing C++ or Java where a mistake doesn't cause damage. Bad PLC code can pour 200 degree acid on someone's head or damage a $60,000 batch of product. This is a very demanding career path. It is also more physical because you need electrical installation and troubleshooting skills as well if you really want to be good.
Imagine you walk into a plant, and there is a line down. If you fix the line, 15 workers get to finish their shift. If you fail, they go home early without pay. It's hero or goat time.... If you can handle that kind of pressure, you might seriously consider industrial automation programming.

Reply:Ask yourself "Would you hire a quitter?" When a prospective employer asks "Why did you not finish your MBA" any answer you give will not convince them.
Why do employers hire candidates with university degrees?
Because it shows they have the persistance and determination to go and get that U degree.
Yes you got a computer science degree but you went on to take a business degree which would only have accentuated that computer science degree, you know, given you business training that you could apply to computer science, and probably do some miraculous things!
BUT YOU QUIT. So a prospective employer sees that and wonders what you will be like working in his company. He won't put his reputation on the line for a stranger like you who has shown he has a quitting streak in him.
WHAT TO DO. If you can, put your tongue in your cheek and go back and complete that wayward MBA, DO IT. It will only take you two years and you might be able to do it part time while working in your chosen field. Should be a lot easier to talk your way out after you have eaten crow and obtained that MBA. The MBA will only do you good and you sound intelligent, so you should be able to visualize doing some great things in information management services.
It would certainly give you more guarantees than any other suggestion here. It is like being an Engineer and having a major business degree. Employers love them and will kill to get them, figuratively speaking. Anything else, in my mind, is speculation, and I only bet on sure things. Look at my credentials and tell me if you think I was wrong.
Unpaid internship, are you crazy? Will make you look desparate!
You can never appear desparate just like you never accept a lateral move, or a demotion, or a lesser package ... these things make you look insecure, big time! ... be confident. More good things come to those who are patient and pray for those good things. Also learn to visualize for your accomplishments. It works miracles.

Reply:If you add electrical skills to your bag of tricks, you can probably find work in writing software for Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC's). The industry pays fairly well and it is demanding work, but it is also satisfying work.
PLC's are computers that control industrial processes. They turn on motors, move actuators, measure temperatures and pressures, etc... It is more difficult for people in other countries to replace you because you have to be present at the factory for a lot of the work that must be done.
If you decide to go down this path, look for an electrical contractor or plant maintenance group that will take you on at entry level. That way they can teach you a lot of the electrical work (study theory on your own at night!) while you get paid to learn. Work your way into getting your hands on the PLC code from there. You might have to change companies a couple of times in the process, but you will have a career if you learn how to design, wire, install, program, and maintain PLC systems.
Keep in mind that this isn't like writing C++ or Java where a mistake doesn't cause damage. Bad PLC code can pour 200 degree acid on someone's head or damage a $60,000 batch of product. This is a very demanding career path. It is also more physical because you need electrical installation and troubleshooting skills as well if you really want to be good.
Imagine you walk into a plant, and there is a line down. If you fix the line, 15 workers get to finish their shift. If you fail, they go home early without pay. It's hero or goat time.... If you can handle that kind of pressure, you might seriously consider industrial automation programming.

What is the best way to learn all about computer repair and programming?
without taking expensive college courses? Are there any good books on these topics out there?
What is the best way to learn all about computer repair and programming?
Of course there are books out there . . . where do you think people in college get their information? You should take courses somewhere unless you're trying to satisfy your own curiosity, since you'd have to practically become world-renown before anyone would hire you without a certification of some sort. You usually don't learn about repair and programming simultaneously though . . . that's kind of unusual and probably unnecessary. Computer repair is cheaper to learn about than computer programming . . . you can get a two-year degree from a community college and be qualified to do that. Computer programming usually requires a four-year degree in computer science. Good luck!
Oh yeah, and I almost forgot to mention . . . I don't think it's a good idea to seek out online courses in anything. I don't know how many of those institutions are accredited or anything, and besides it's a good experience to go to school for something.

Is there a comp product that can record HD programming from my satellite reciever to my computer through HDMI?
I want to use HDMI to ensure best video quality and also so that I can transfer Dolby Digital too. If there is a product with component video jacks, then that is ok too. Im looking for something to attach to my computer/laptop like a TV tuner.
Is there a comp product that can record HD programming from my satellite reciever to my computer through HDMI?
Of course you would need to have your satellite connected to your PC some how, either directly or via your set-top box. I'm not sure if that's even possible, and even if it is it would probably be better to just get an HD/DVR and record the shows normally, and then transfer everything over to your computer later. This is what most people do.
If you don't have Dish Network yet, you can get an HD/DVR for FREE if you sign up using this link: http://www.tekdeals.com/dish-network.php
I'm not sure how long that offer will last, so jump on it while you can.

When programming software for websites should you run test cases on the production system?
I believe you can't guarentee the accuracy of a live system without first running a live test through it. Is this bad practice? Should testing be isolated to the staging environment? How can you guarentee that software that works in the development enviroment works when made live?
When programming software for websites should you run test cases on the production system?
Absolutlely not! Unless your business is not dependent at all on the production system. The recommended development cycle for software implementation has 3 stages : Development, Test, Production. Of course, for this methodology to work properly, production data needs to be imported into the development and test environments, and the prod environment needs to be emulated very closely in both dev and test. Each stage should have its own, isolated environment to ensure that any ill effects generated by coding errors do not propagate to the production system. Typically, developers use the 'Development' envirionment to do their tweaks and changes until they are fairly confident that the program is working as intended. Then, it is promoted to 'Test' where end users who have been selected to be testers test the product to see if it works for them. Then, after the LOB has signed off on the tests, it is promoted to production. Now, if you are a small shop, or independent developer, this is excessive, so the best thing to do is just use the 'Development' for coding and testing, then promote to production. I would never suggest testing in production though, unless you have no other choice.
Reply:There is no guarantee with anything, setup your testing as close as you can to production, and test every angle that you can before going live. Then pick a slow time to go live and test it again on the production side of things.

What programming language is good for web?
I would like to implement an algorithm which will be used from a web application. What language can I use? Is java (not javascript) a possibility? Are there other strong languages that can run complex algorithms for web based applications?
What programming language is good for web?
Yes, Java is a possibility, though you can't do CGI scripts with it because it doesn't have access to environment variables.
I personally use ASP.NET with C# and quite like it.
A more popular choice is PHP, but C# is a much stronger language compared to it.
Also Python seems to be gaining popularity as well. I have personally never used it, so I can't advise you in regards to it.
Reply:Java is a good choice for a web application when you need complex back end processing, cheap hosting can sometimes be a drama. If hosted on an intranet or you have your own servers then this is not a drama.
Make sure you pick a framework that will make your life easy, things like Tapestry, Wicket or JSF go a long way to making development faster.

What programming language should I use to make a fan site for a game?
I'm making a fan site for a game (if it helps to know it's for RuneScape) and I was wondering what language I should use for things. Some people tell me PHP, others say to use frames (kind of have an idea of what they are), etc. What should I use? I know I'll beusing HTML, but I know there are other languages out there that make making a website easier. Help? Thanks.
What programming language should I use to make a fan site for a game?
Definitely PHP if you want a complicated or interactive site. Look at http://php.net. It's a good place to start.
What PHP does is generate HTML code based on the program, so the two work together.
And don't use frames; they really aren't necessary if you know style sheets (CSS; http://www.w3schools.com/css).
Reply:If you know C++, use that with HTML. After all, the only thing better than C++ is binary.
Reply:It really depends on how complex your website is going to be. If you are going to put some content on your page and that's it, then you can accomplish that with simple HTML and some Javascript. If, on the other hand, you are going to be making use of a database, then you will need a scripting language like PHP or some other web programming language (ASP, JSP, etc.).
I generally use PHP for my own website -- it's easy to learn and open source, so you can get help online pretty quickly.

What programming languages should i learn to create a social networking site?
You will need to use some kind of server side technology (i.e. ColdFusion, ASP .Net, PHP, JSP...etc) with a database backend.
Being a certified ColdFusion developer, of course, I would suggest that you use ColdFusion.

What programming languages should i learn to create a social networking site?
You will need to use some kind of server side technology (i.e. ColdFusion, ASP .Net, PHP, JSP...etc) with a database backend.
Being a certified ColdFusion developer, of course, I would suggest that you use ColdFusion.

What does it involve to create a new programming language?
What things do you need to understand? I realize it is difficult and all of that, but all I want to know is what you need to know, and how people usually do it. And any other info.
Thanks!
What does it involve to create a new programming language?
It's actually not difficult if you have all the correct tools and skills.
You need to come up with a requirements specification for your language... what does it need to do?
Use a formal syntax specification language to create a formal syntax for the new language.
Either generate a parser from the formal specification or write a parser. Get the syntax checking and error checking working.
If this is a compiled language, add functionality to emit the object code for the target hardware or linker. If it is interpreted, add functionality to execute the code.
Add optimizations if desired for speed or storage space.
It helps have some familiarity with formal languages, the assembly or object code of the target machine(s), the format of the intermediate files if the code will go through a linker, optimization strategies, etc. While it's complicated, it's subject matter that is normally covered at least in masters level computer science programs, if not undergrad.
The concepts show up in a lot of other contexts. For example, I've written an HTML parser and rendering engine that used a formal specification language and a parser based on the formal definition, not unlike I had used before to create compilers and interpreters.

What is the best way to start programming games?
I am 14 years old but I already have some high skills in computers. I learned a whole course on html but still don't know how to start with java (not javascript) so I can make my own flash games, and maybe 3d.
What is the best way to start programming games?
It starts with the spark of an idea and a passion for getting it done.
You have to have curiosity about doing things on the computer and an immense capacity for frustration.
Good luck!
Reply:You're starting too big. Start with a program to input two numbers, add them and display the result. Stuff like that.
Take some courses either online or through a local college.
You're on the right path, but programming isn't like html.
Programming is like writing very detailed instructions for how to do something. It has to be detailed, computers are quite dumb.

How do I determine how much a Internet startup is willing to pay for a programming salary?
Perl/PHP Programmer with 5 years experience for a 2 year old web company with high growth and backed by Sequoia Ventures.
The job market is great, so I'm guessing $125K, but am I overshooting too far?
How do I determine how much a Internet startup is willing to pay for a programming salary?
You don't say what part of the country you're in, and that would matter too, but I'm guessing you are overshooting by quite a bit.
For an internet startup you might be able to get stock or options though, which if they succeed could end up worth quite a bit.
