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.

How do those people that are on fitness paid programming commercials test out those products?

I see them all the time, they are the ones that test the workout product first, then go on the commercial and talk about how much weight they lost, how do you get into something like that?

How do those people that are on fitness paid programming commercials test out those products?
Great post! I totally understand how you feel. I'm also trying to lose weight and I found this great product which is working for me. You can check the website at


http://www.diet-fun-help.us , I had a free trial and paid less than $7.00 shipping and handling. Best of luck!
Reply:The company who has the product pays you to be apart of the test study. They also pay you extra to be in the commerical. Most of them are just acting students trying to get things onto their resume.
Reply:I seriously doubt they are "tested" to any scientific standard at all. The test staffs are all paid employees of the company making the product. Oh yes, do you actually believe those people on those infomercials actually got that way using any of that two dollar junk? i doubt it. Get some good advise and start working out . Its the only way you'll get a body like you want.


What are some of the good sites for football on the Internet? Does GolTV have any internet programming?

I live in Minnesota, which is the equivelant of Antarctica when it comes to cable TV having football. I do get FoxSoccer Channel, which I like.





Anyone else have any subscriptions to anything on the Internet? Any place to see Italian, French or German league action?





Thanks

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 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.

How Important Is Programming To Electrical Engineering?

I'm wondering if I should extend my stay an extra semeter and minor in Computer Science. The EE program at the university that I attend only requires the basic 101 programming class (if/for/when statements, loops). Do I need to know more than that in order to function well in the industry?

How Important Is Programming To Electrical Engineering?
Depends on what field you will work in. If you will be doing any sort of circuit board work when you get out in the world, getting that minor would probably give you a good foundation to build on.





We're using TI processors and Altera FPGAs and I'm sitting here wishing I had picked up some more programming when I was in school back in the day.





If you have the time and money it will probably help you in the long run. Go for it.
Reply:Probably not. But I would be inclined to go for it anyway. Your career path may change unexpectedly.
Reply:I have a Master's degree in EE and have been working in the field for 20+ yrs. I took a programming class long time ago, but I happen to work in Analog field, so I have never applied those skills. So, to answer your question, if you are going to be a digital designer I would most certainly recommend taking a programming class or two. If you are going to be an analog engineer (like me), I would still recommed it although not as strongly.
Reply:I know EE grads that turned into system network administrators ("network babysitters").





Personally, that would be a nightmare. That's why I avoided programming as much as possible while getting my undergraduate and graduate degrees.





Now I'm a power protection engineer. There's a small amount of basic programming involved in setting relays, but that's about it.





I'd say forget the minor, nobody cares if you have a minor (though I have a history minor, heh). If something comes up that you need to know how to program in a certain language, you pick up an idiot guide at the bookstore and teach yourself.
Reply:programming is important to work in industry but i think programming is easy and interesting if you have logic.self learning itself might help.i feel u should take guidance from u'r lecturers or u'r computer science friends to know more.

What in the name of good programming makes you tell me seesion is up after I have written a lenghty email?
Hi Mark,


I am assuming you are referring to some web based email or perhaps you are using something like a banks website to send a message. If it is web based email there is more than likely an option under preferences to change the length of time before it logs you off.


What I have done in the past (after losing lengthy emails like you did) is go to notepad and banged out my reply or message and then went to the site and pasted my message.


Of course the reasoning behind this is to prevent you from accidentally leaving your computer logged into the mail system and evil type people from coming along and sending out a bunch of Nigerian emails asking help to get money from their bank they work at...





Sorry you have this problem...


Send an email to the admin and belly ache... Probably won't change anything but they will have a better idea of how to set things up with feedback from the user...





Just remember though... Life is Good!!!

There is a teacher shortage. States are coming up with opportunities for everyone to teach and get the requirements for their license at the same time.





Public and Private Schools operate differently. Can work in some private schools. Depending on their accreditation.
Reply:Depends on your state. Here in California, public high school teachers must first complete a bachelors degree, then a "fifth year" credential program. However to teach in a private school these requirements do not apply. The state does not require private school teachers in CA to hold teaching credentials. Some private schools do, but most would value your programming experience and hire you.
Reply:Potentially, you could make 2-3 times as much programming, and you wouldn't need the 4-year degree. One of those little iniquities of life.

What is the best computer programming course for a complete beginner?

I am an office administrator and would like to add to my portfolio. I have advanced Excel knowledge and would like to go one step up from that.

What is the best computer programming course for a complete beginner?
If you're advanced in Excel, you probably know a bit of VBA. The logical step would be to learn Visual Basic - the learners' editions are pretty good, and hold your hand a lot. Also inexpensive. Also, maybe Visual C#, depending on what you plan to do with it. The best advice is to decide what type of programs you want to write, then find out (maybe via Answers) what the best language is in which to write them. Step three is then to find the best package to teach it to you.
Reply:You might try Excel Visual Basic - See Excel Help
Reply:As an administrator, do you really want to be learning to program or are you looking to manupulate the office packages. If your looking to manipulate office packages then VBA would be your best option.





Programming is an in depth subject in its self, and people are paid resonably well for their skills, it seems a shame to learn programming skills and still work in admin (No offence to anyone in admin, I changed from admin to programming after doing an HNC and Degree in computing science).





Maybe what you want to do is look at the kind of career you want to achive in the long run.





If you do decide to learn programming then the most up to date technologies are .net. I would advise C#. Its maybe a wee bit more dificult to learn, but its one of the main languages used these days.
Reply:Go with Java and work your way down (to C++ and then to C).
Reply:c programming. it is the basic and easy to learn to the beginners
Reply:Normally I would suggest a high level programming language like Python and Ruby. High level programming languages make it easier to express your logic and not worry about the implementation on the computer. For a complete beginner, it allows you to concentrate on computer science fundamentals and enables you to get started doing something interesting early on.





You say you are an office administrator with Excel knowledge. You may find it useful to learn VBA (which is designed to be used for Office products). Or the full fledged Visual Basic .NET or C# .NET because they can interface with Office products. Although they aren't as high level as Python or Ruby, they may have more immediate benefit for your career.

How do software companies decide which programming language to use.Is there a rule or stuff..?

When there are multiple programming language to use for, how do software companies decide the language to use for.Anyone can give a lil insight on the same.

How do software companies decide which programming language to use.Is there a rule or stuff..?
They make the determination based on what project, task, customer specifications, needs, and even industries that they are trying to accomplish. It is not unheard of that multiple languages are used on a single project. And that multiple programmers are assigned to them.





There is a programming language life cycle. Understanding and predicting this life cycle is tremendously important for IT directors and technical architects. It is even more important for those with a vested interested in the language succeeding, to know when to switch to a new language.





In a work environment, your manager may decree that everyone on your project will use a certain language. You may use a certain language, particularly in a business environment, based on the need to interface with other programs; if two programs are to work together, it is easiest if they are written in the same language.





You may choose a language based on its suitability for the task. For example, a business program that handles large files may be best written in the business language COBOL. If a program is to be run on different computers, it must be written in a language that is portable-suitable on each type of computer-so that the program need be written only once.





You may be limited by the availability of the language. Not all languages are available in all installations or on all computers.


The language may be limited to the expertise of the programmer; that is, the program may have to be written in a language the available programmer knows. Perhaps the simplest reason, one that applies to many amateur programmers, is that they know the language called BASIC because it came with-or was inexpensively purchased with-their personal computers.
Reply:They choose a language which suits the task. It is obvious from the fact that you are asking that you don't know many languages to any great extent - if you did, that much would be obvious by now. As you learn more languages, and more about those languages, it becomes apparent where and when you should use them.

Are the channels available through satellite to your PC the types of channels that most people wouldn't be interested in? I am in Canada and I know the U.S. has much more TV programming available to them through satellite that we can't get up here. I am wondering whether any of the programs might be able to provide some of the channels.





Thanks

What is the best program for receiving satellite tv programming on your PC?
I like the Satellite Tv on PC Elite Package. So far I notice this is the best selling package in the market.
Reply:Satellite Tv to PC is the best. See for details.
Reply:I find "Satellite Tv on PC" able to see quite a number of good channels. I watch a lot when I'm overseas, even in Asia.
Reply:I signed up the satellite TV for PC 4 months ago and they indeed provides 3000+ satellite TV channels with very good programme at a afford price. I did it with one time payment of $49.95!!! A price you can't believe it.

What is the best programming language for data extraction?

I'm not sure what you mean by "data extraction," but SQL is the most common database query language.

What is the best programming language for data extraction?
The algorithms used by winzip and winrar are of course confidential and only its programmers can use it.





You can have another algorithms free (it is written in CLS or class Visual Basic). BlowFish, lFishers and others. You download codes on Planet-Source-Code.com
Reply:I agree with miket. I always use Perl for any text/string manipulation.
Reply:Perl is the easiest for what you need, which is not very complex.
Reply:The classic data extraction language is perl. See perl.com, and hundreds of books at your local bookstore, and various online tutorials. Perl has internal language constructs to pick data out of text files (i.e. logfiles) very easily, plus many add-on modules, including those to read/write xml. Perl stood for (stands for?) practical extraction and reporting language.





The perl executables are available free from www.activestate.com for many computers, and other websites for just about all the rest.





Go for it.
Reply:awk is a good choice, as is perl. For more power, snobol4 (www.snobol4.org) can be used -- an example will illustrate: find all lines with "Apr 4" and extract the substring enclosed in either single or double quotes... in snobol4:





top s = input :f(end)


s 'Apr 4' :f(top)


s any("'" '"') $ delim *break(delim) . output :(top)


end





would do it.

Which is the most used programming languages in universities?

Does any one know of any research data of programming languages requirements in bachelors degree ?

Which is the most used programming languages in universities?
I am a Computer Science major going to UCSC, and i can tell you their policy. Students start out by taking Java, and then go onto higher level languages. It really depends on your course study. I am studying Game Design, so there is a emphasis in C++. Other programs use other languages.





My Community College has Intro classes in C and Java, and more advanced classes in C++.





It depends on the degree program, but i would look at what the languages are used for. C++ is common for many computer applications, C is used on some of the lower level apps (those run closer to the computer, such as the operating system). Java is ment to be multiplatform, making it good for cell phones and the internet.





Anyway, i doubt any one programming language is required at ANY university. They normally give you a choice, just like a CS major can choose between 3 chemistyr courses or three physics courses
Reply:you know c %26amp; c++ are the most common used languages in universities.you shoud know them well.and also visual c++ is fantastic for excellent projects.moreover if you know assembly language you can be a developer in programming.

or learn assembler for a different processor.. the idea's are basically the same, just the syntax , addressing, registers are different.

Can you please suggest jobs that does not require excel programming skills?
I was an assistant to a CPA/CFA after college . and trust me. If will be beneficial ($$$) to you if you know excel , at least the basic (such as functions and graph) regardless in what career field. because as long as you are an analyst. you will need excel to calculate numbers and data.





I hated it first as well. but after I realized how essential is to know excel especially dealing with numbers. I just had to suck it in and learn it. thank god my current job is not asking me to know access.





hang in here.





good luck
Reply:Excel is not hard and is a wonderful program, used in business worldwide, if you need a free copy to learn get open office at open office.org basically the same thing but free. I work as a plant technician and use it all the time at work and at home for budgeting or calculating things. If you take the time to learn it you will love it.
Reply:Dude, Excel is not that hard compared to what else is out there. Do yourself a favor and learn it and then you won't have this problem in the first place. Buy some Excel books or do some online tutorials. Trust me, it's worth it.


What can you recommend as a good book/curriculum for teaching computer programming to young children?

Namely ages 6-10. I'm curious to hear what people can recommend as good (and fun) instructional material.





Thanks.

What can you recommend as a good book/curriculum for teaching computer programming to young children?
I bet your kids would love to make a computer video game.





Check out game maker (I provide the link below).





A free version is available but I would recommend the full version but is only $20 to register.





With game maker you can create games using visual techniques and as you get more experienced you can add your own code snippets.





The game maker site also has a lot of sample games that you can modify so you don't have to start from scratch, there is a book available, step by step getting started tutorial and lesson plans.





If you go this route and your kids make some games my son would be happy to put the games online at his site (also provided below).

What kind of programming language can i use to practice with at home?

I want to become a computer programmer and have been taking some classes. I've been using FutureBASIC on the mac (they only use this at school) but I want to keep practicing at home. Anyone know something that can help a newb like me? The program has to work on Windows and not Mac.

What kind of programming language can i use to practice with at home?
The best programming language out there is C++ in many people's opinions, but I suggest you learn visual basic completely first, to get a grip on windows programming. Then move onto visual C++. Go to msdn.microsoft.com, and get a download for visual basic 2005 express edition, install it, (its free) and then get some tutorials on the net, and you should be reasonable in 1-3 days, and great in a couple of weeks. Hope I helped.
Reply:My first language was C, and I recommend it to you. It is ubiquitous, powerful, and you will definitely learn it eventually if you are looking to become a programmer. Many key concepts in C are also key concepts in programming in general.
Reply:If you want to migrate to an entirely different language, C is a good choice. It is an immensely powerful and addictive language. Get yourself the Turbo C++ compiler for Windows. You can move on to Object-Oriented Programming with C++ later, if you want.
Reply:I suggest Java or C# - both have free compilers (the c# compiler comes with .Net, and the Java compiler can be downloaded.)





Check out the 'Express' editions of Visual Studio as well, this will give you syntax highlighting, etc.





Forget BASIC, nobody uses that for anything useful anymore...


What order of programming languages should I learn to make games?

Just want to start out making basic stuff. Nothing too serious, just going to learn in my spare time. I heard C++ is good for games, should I start with that?

What order of programming languages should I learn to make games?
o nice you starting to learn game for fun too eh? i just happened to do the same! well i'm a software engineering student so i already pretty much mastered pascal, C/C++ and java from school. if you are totally new to programming, most school would start is BASIC or pascal but those are not commonly used any more. so i'd suggest start with java, which is quite straight forward and used every where. then move on to C#, which is very similar to java. and finally C/C++. java has a reputation of not being very friendly in graphics. but i just found it wrong yesterday. when i checked out jME. which is a open source, free game engine (plus a physics engine) for java, done in java. i only took a few tutorials and it seems very easy to use and offers pretty much offers everything you need for a decent game. check it out! if you are gonna use C/C++/C# then there are some other open source, free game engine for you.
Reply:If you're thinking about making a "real game", you should consider C++. If you want to learn, have fun, and not get too frustrated, and you have little-to-no programming experience, maybe you should give this a try:





PyGame: http://www.pygame.org/news.html

Encapsulation - Studying for my Programming exam and here is one of last years questions?

An object is said to have behaviour, state and identity. Discuss each of these and explain, using fragments of code, how each are exhibited in Java.





Part 2





Encapsulation is one of the fundamental concepts of object oriented programming. Explain what encapsulation is, using fragments of code, and discuss why it is important.





I would appreciate what you would consider to be a model answer or any help appreciated. Thank you very much!

Encapsulation - Studying for my Programming exam and here is one of last years questions?
In the Java virtual machine, an object's state is values of its instance variables. Its behavior is the actions it takes when you invoke its instance methods. Its identity is the address of the object image on the heap, which is available to programmers as its reference. If two object's have identical state and behavior, the way you can tell them apart is by comparing their references.





class Horsie {


String sound;


private boolean dogfood;


// a constructor


public Horsie() {


dogfood = false;


}


// an alternate (or Overloaded) constructor


public Horsie( boolean b ) {


dogfood = b;


}


// a method() for state


protected setDogfood( boolean b ) {


dogfood = b;


}


// a method for behavior


public void neigh() {


System.out.println("neigh");


}


}





That's a template of state, behavior.





class MainApp {





public static main(String[] args) {





Horsie trigger = new Horsie();


// that's identity


Horsie silver = new Horsie( true );





the keyword "new" uses the template and puts the Object on the computer heap (into the computer)





if( trigger.equals(silver) )


No, the 2 Objects are not equal. They reside at different addresses in computer





if( silver typeof Horsie )


silver.neigh();





The rest you can BS...





===========





Encapsulation groups variables. If ...





class myClass {


// everything between { and }


// can only belong to myClass


}


// ...if this were not so, the human would have to contrive 100,000 variables and the human would have to remember the contents of those 100,000 variables.





Both Object traits and Encapsulation allow one "floorplan" or "blueprint" that allows multiple computer items, like an animated clock to appear in multiple locations on the computer screen, each with it's own sense of time.





The rest you can WOW them with in BS terms.
Reply:Encapsulation is more fundamental that the previous respondents answer. Encapsulation is where the data used by an object are only access via published methods. The purpose being the object retains control of the value and its state is only changed by the object.

Is hypnotherapy a preferred strategy for healing/integrating alters; individual has mind control programming

My client also has ritual abuse programming (trans-generational) intact. He is unaware at many levels of this programming. I am cautious; to say the least! I am a newly certified Hypnotherapist, seeking any advice, leads or recommendations available. I appreciate any and all input.

Is hypnotherapy a preferred strategy for healing/integrating alters; individual has mind control programming
Hello Abigail





As a fellow hypnotherapist I would suggest that you do not take on this client.





This client would benefit from an experienced therapist, not necessarily a hypnotherapist.





Maybe the best that you can do is to advise client to go for a Dr's referral to a traditional therapist, but help the client yourself with relaxation techniques so that they can keep their mind clear.





Pam
Reply:This is not the place to seek advice on helping a client. You are a professional and should have contacts that you can discuss this with. How do you know that the one answering is legitimate, or expert enough to give the answers. There are legal ramifications to treating people and getting advice from people like us is out of the realm of reality.


By the way, hypnotherapy is NOT to be used in this type of situation. It is dangerous to even suggest it.


I would suggest you go back and reread your class notes on ethics.

What do I need to get a good job in programming?

I really interested in computers and programming.





Currently I'm 15 and I'm deep into the VB.Net language, is this enough to get a job in the future.





Another option is web design, I have my own website and like creating different designs for it.

What do I need to get a good job in programming?
Learn VB.net, ASP.net, SQL, and web stuff. Do as much as you can, do your own web site (not myspace BS). By the time you're 18 you'll be fully employable but stupid American corporate culture won't accept you because you don't have a degree. You can make up for a lot of this by being able to demonstrate working websites, code, etc.





Keep up the good work and good luck !


Can I Get A Job in Game Developement Without Programming Skills?

Here's my plight. I have a lot of great ideas for video games. I've developed storylines, control schemes, gameplay ideas, etc. that I want to see turned into video games. But I have no innate affinity with computers. Obviousely I'm literate or I wouldn't bere here, but my skills don't range much further than that.


If I'm ever going to have my visions realized I need a possition where I'm responsible for overseeing the production of a game or else find a college course that can solve my programming aversions.


So my question to you is what do I have to do in order to land a job like that? What kind of schooling do I need? Can I get away with (relatively) minimal computer skills?

Can I Get A Job in Game Developement Without Programming Skills?
You'd better get some kind of degree in literature (for game storyboarding) or art (for graphics design) or business (for starting your own company). Outside of that, welcome to Quality Assurance.
Reply:If you want to get into game design, then you have to bring something to the table, whether it be programming or art design. You may be able to get away with a job where you plan the design, but you will have to know what programmers and artists are capable of, or else your ideas will never be implemented. I am a game designer, and typically we don't like to work with people unless they supply some skill. There are very few in the industry that work in game design without some decent skill in programming or artwork.
Reply:No human being has an innate affinity with computers. If you really believe in your visions, find financial backing, start your own company, employ programmers etc. and you will have complete creative control over your ideas. You probably won't get that working for another company.
Reply:There are many ways you can create games without needing coding.


There are many games that can be customised using some quite sophisticated tools. For example quake and doom both had level designers and I'm sure the more recent games do to.


There are also game making toolkits that reduce the need for coding and I've recently discovered that there are flash games that you can "customise" with your own graphics and sound.


The big growth market in games is mobile games and online games. These can be developed with Flash which although very technical is not coding as such. You might be able to market these without the need for joining a big company.





There are also jobs in the games industry that are more focused on the graphics or music.





There is a degree in computer games at Abertay University, if you have a look at their sylabus you will see the kind of skills that would be needed in this industry


Best of luck.

What's the difference between Computer engineering And Programming?

I'm Entering college next year ,and pelase if you know the answer , make it in detail and is there's Any sites helpful?

What's the difference between Computer engineering And Programming?
Here is my two cents. Computer programming is a skill where you are able to tell the computer what to do by creating a clear, and specific set of instructions called an algorithm. This is accomplished by many different flavors of languages such as C++, Java, and C# which are considered high level languages, in respect that they resemble a common language that can be undertood by people. Low level langues such as assembly or machine code are what computers understand.





On the other hand computer engineering as I understand it is a whole set of different areas, such as the design of the new and faster microprocessors, and logic circuits. Other areas include research of materials to create new types of transistors which are the basic construction parts that make up a computer. Yet another area is the field of software engineering where new methods of solving problems are documented and improved with each iteration of a piece of sotware. At the present time many efforts are being focused by phycists and computer engineers to create quantum computers, which use molecules to perform the calculations now performed by transistors.





Not to mention many computer engineers also help design other pieces of hardware like monitors, printers, PDA's. Computer engineers can also be responsible for the design, the implementation, the documentation, and the testing of a new product. Whereas computer programmers are only responsible for the coding, the implementation aspect of the product.





One analogy I heard is that every computer engineer is a computer programmer, but not every computer programmer is a computer engineer. Hope that helps.

What programming do I need to learn to be able to make an online game like runescape?
Runescape is played over the internet. It is not a web game. The internet and the web (WWW) is not the same thing.





You can create a game like runescape in any language you want. But if you want to start out in game programming then you might want to get Dark Basic (which is not free).





Or you can start with another basic, some of which are free. Then graduate to a language such as C, then C++ or Java. Or delphi.

Reply:Get Blitz. Learn how to use the TCP and all that other networking junk. Then make a small game where you play, like runescape, but just like a two player racing game. Once you understand the networking, then you can move on to C or Java. I have a friend who took almost 5 months to learn networking because he started learning it along with C. Believe me, learn game networking before you learn the advanced languages.





P.S. I actually think it's possible to program a game like runescape in Blitz, however a more advanced language would be much faster. Free Demo at BlitzBasic.com

How does this make it suitable for some purposes and unsuitable for some others?

What programming languages are used to create major applications?
In part it depends on the application but major systems have been written in


Ada


Cobol


C


dBase


Eiffel


Fortran


Pascal


Visual Basic etc etc
Reply:Depends on what you need. Formely pascal and C++ were the standar, then Delphi and VC++ (the windows versions). They have the advantage of accessing directly the hardware.





However, newer programs are written in Java/.NET (VB/C#). For example, NetBeans is an IDE for JAVA writen in Java, Paint.Net is like photoshop but written in C#... and so. Java and .Net programs do not have direct access to hardware, and particularly if you seek portability, the choice is Java.
Reply:C/C++ are used mostly. If you're looking for a visual editor to make stuff then look up visual basic.


What does the term "to ship" means in the Programming world?

I have to answer the following question: "Have you shipped a commercial or internal product?" in a Programming Skills Technical Questionnaire and I am not sure of what "shipped" means in this context. Can someone please give me a hint? It is very urgent. Thank you very much.

What does the term "to ship" means in the Programming world?
That means you have released a working product to customers. In this case, customers could be someone else in the same company if you wrote something for internal use.





I would not suspect they mean you did the actual shipping (i.e. stuffing and posting the box).





This is in opposition to work done for your own enjoyment or for class. The whole point of the question is that other people used your work (this includes you working on a team - most products are made by more than one person).
Reply:Good Question!!! Shipping a product is launching it. For example, anyone who works at microsoft and worked on the Vista OS, they all technically shipped the product when it was released.





Thanks,

Whatever you do I'd say knowing both C++ and HTML will be helpful. C++ is pretty popular with software applications and games, and a lot of languages are similar to it. If you are doing anything related to websites (PHP;ASP;Perl;Javascript) then you need to know HTML, although it is technically a mark-up language.

But steer clear of its "Variant" data type - using it would conceal a lot of goings-on that you need to be learning about, so save it for later.


What is Python best or most useful for programming?

For example java is for web, Perl is good for cgi, c is popular for games.... What is Pythons special area for programming and good for making? new to programming and im starting off with python so im curious to know what it is good for programming so maybe i could make that my first couple projects or something.. or if python mainly a learning language and just a stepping stone to real programming?

What is Python best or most useful for programming?
Well before you pigeonhole any of the languages you should take a look around: you mentioned C++ as being used in games - EVE Online is run on python based engine, for example (and Civ IV uses it a little bit). If you are new to programming i sincerely recommend looking at http://www.norvig.com/21-days.html; my first language was python too :). It's fun, simple and yet also very versatile.





Good Luck


What are good schools to learn game programming?

I read about DeVry, and it looks like the things I am interested in learning. I wasn't sure if anyone would know of any schools that would be good for this, or learning how to create an MMORPG and things of this sort. Any help or information on schools who fall under this will be appreciated.

What are good schools to learn game programming?
DeVry is okay prestige-wise...you might want to also look in to Champlain, Tulane (you would major in Computer Science)...


You should really think about majoring in Computer Science, because more universities offer that major--and many of them are much more prestigious than DeVry or other schools with a game programming major. Here's a list of those schools: http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college...

What programming language should i start to learn it to be a professional one?

I have good knowledge about programming and its basics and i used before C, fortran.also i used matlab in some projects.


I want to start again now with this amasing world so what langauage should i start with as there are many languages as C++,C#,Java %26amp; Visual Basic etc.

What programming language should i start to learn it to be a professional one?
It really depends on what interests you most and what you see yourself doing several years from now. Secondary considerations are your current situation(do you have access to VS.net?), the system you will be learning on(ms or Linux?), and your learning environment(prof training vs teaching yourself?).





C++ is easily the most powerful and versatile language around, and with your experience in C you would have a good foundation to build upon.





Having said that, if you choose Java you will find a large community of support, many open source tools and IDEs available to you, and a very powerful platform on which you could develop a wide variety of applications from small games for your cell phone to large enterprise applications.





Whatever language you choose make sure you focus on core software design concepts and not just the language.
Reply:If you already know C, then you should move onto C++. It's the most powerful programming language that there is at the moment, and it can easily be converted from one operating system to another (if needed.)
Reply:I started with BASIC. I enjoy C++ because it is so versatile and used in so many applications


Can I add one channel to my dish programming?

I have Dish network I my programming does not include the Disney Channel and I would like to add it. I just need that one channel. Do you think I can call and they add it for me for just a fee?

Can I add one channel to my dish programming?
No. You have to buy a package. There are a few stations that are offered separately but that is not one of them. If something is part of a package it is not offered separately.





The only way they can keep prices down is to make you pay for channels that you don't watch along with what you want.
Reply:Yes, on the screen it says call ... for this channel. I'm not exactly sure if that channel must come in a package, but probably not. You might as well call and find out.


Good Luck, maybe your getting ready for Highschool musical 2 (just a guess)


Matt
Reply:I don't think Disney is offered as an a la carte channel from Dish. You may need to upgrade your programming package to get Disney and some other "throw-in" channels.
Reply:yes, call them


What programming language has the easiest to understand source code?

I'm interested in programming language design, but have yet to find a language that I can fully or even mostly understand how it works. Preferrably an interpreted language, but a compiled one would also be interesting.

What programming language has the easiest to understand source code?
Well-written Perl programs will read almost like English. (I say well-written because I do not think that cryptic one-liners - which are always held up as "Perl programs" - are well-written).





Python programs are a good bet simply because of Python's design philosophy: do each thing in one particular way. This leads to almost every Python program doing specific operations in nearly the same way, making it quite easy to understand any particular Python program once you understand Python, period.
Reply:C language.
Reply:Javascript and Visual Basic are two of the easiest to learn. Nither are very powerfull but should suffice for a beginner.





Javascript(NOT JAVA) is great because it requires Zero software; IE is all you need. If you don't like, your not out a buck.
Reply:LOGO was a very easy one. Pre GUI BASIC was cool
Reply:If you want to make games without coding, go to the following site and download FPS Creator trial version.
Reply:Unfortunately, any programming language can be used to write poor, difficult to read code more easily than it can be used to write good code. I believe the quote is "Hell is other people's code".





As far as interperated languages go, I have a pretty easy time of parsing through PHP code, but I have been working in it for a few years now.





PERL makes it very easy to write bad code, same for JavaScript.





The C family of languages is a toss up (see my first paragraph), and Java is convoluted unless written well.





I can't comment on any others as I don't have much experience with them.





If you are talking compiler source code, that is probably in assembly (if you are lucky its in C).


How do you get your tv's programming to be played in English?

My friend recently bought a it's a sony trinitron WEGA SDTV flat-screen tv, 2006 model television off Craig's List from a Hispanic couple. The tv on certain shows reverts back to the Spanish mode. She keeps setting it back to English, however it keeps doing it. Anyone have any suggestions?

How do you get your tv's programming to be played in English?
Yes, unplug the TV for about an hour so it will revert back to factory settings...


Then re plug it in and reset your personal settings...


I do mean UNPLUG, not just turn off...


See it retains memory when just turned off, but it reverts when unplugged...


Let me know if you understand...

Where do i find the learn code button on my garage door for programming remote control?

I am trying to program a genie garage door remote but can't find the code anywhere. Any ideas.

Where do i find the learn code button on my garage door for programming remote control?
not familiar with genie doors but with most other kinds you need to look where the battery is on the remote and then up on the garage door opener itself. The two codes need to match each other.
Reply:ebay has all kinds of manuals and codes so look there.
Reply:They use the standard multi-coded chip set and can be modded to decode the code. Google it :-)

I need the programming codes to use to program my Universal Remote?

I was just given a Symphonic TVCR13G1 TV/VCR combo tv, but the remote has been lost for a long time so I was given an unprogrammed eCircuit 6-in-1 Universal Remote but the Symphonic codes with the remotes manual didn't work. Could someone please help me find a code that will work with it? Thank you.

I need the programming codes to use to program my Universal Remote?
Call the company who makes the remote or go to their website for the codes.


How much television and video programming do you allow your toddler to watch?

And how about computer games?


Now that we have 2 children, 3yrs and 8 months, we've found our toddler watching more videos than before. Having more than one changes things, can't imagine 3 or more!

How much television and video programming do you allow your toddler to watch?
Don't feel too bad, most of us do it! I believe it's not that good for kids but we usually compensate by encouraging outdoor play %26amp; reading etc when we are able. Just accept that you can't be superdaddy %26amp; mummy %26amp; that sometimes you have to do what you have to do. So long as it's not an around the clock arrangement %26amp; you know that you are doing the very best you can by your kids, then don't feel the guilts.
Reply:I have the tv on way too much but at this point my toddler doesn't really watch it. Only certain commercials get her attention because she likes the music. If she starts sitting and watching, I'll turn it off.
Reply:well the experts say should be less than 2 hrs. but in my house the t.v.'s (we have one in living room ,one in sons room and one in my craft room) are on most of the day the one in the living room and my 8 yr old room are on PBS in morning and then sometimes a movie. most of the time its just white noise they (8yr old and 2 yr) don't watch it much.


we are doing activities or my sons school work.
Reply:My children watch only an hour in the day usually (21/2 and 15 mths) They play together most of the time. although i put a movie on for them to settle them down but that only lasts about 10 minutes!! For some reason my children are not that interested in television.


MAybe when your youngest gets a little older they will start to play together a lot more!!


Just turn it off!! REmember you are the parent and you make the decisions!! So if you think they watch too much and you dont like it, Turn it off!
Reply:My grandchildren are toddlers and the TV is on all day. They like having it on, but do not watch it all the time. My daughter puts in DVD's which they like, they are 1 and 3. No video games are allowed until they are 7 yrs old with a time allowance. Works great for them. The 7 yr old earns video time by reading for 30 minutes. The parents and children seem to like this arrangement.
Reply:I had my children two years apart. I allowed my older child to watch only public programming (Barney, Sesame Street and Lambchop's Playalong). As they go older, I limited their t.v. time to just those shows and thee times a week they could watch a movie (Beauty and the Beast, Little Mermaid, etc). I gave them creative play toys (legos, puzzles, etc). I also read to them, played with them, practiced flash cards with them, etc. The main thing is to get a routine down with them, especially when they start school. This will encourage them to manage their time wisely and it will follow them in to adult hood. My children are now teenagers and need very little supervision when it comes to television, homework and chores. They know what is expected of them and get things done accordingly. They are involved in many activities outside of school and still maintain A-B averages. Good luck!
Reply:I have a 4 year old and she watches about 30-45 minutes of tv a day Mon-Friday at the max and on the weekends about 2 hours combined on Sat %26amp; Sun but we as a household are not real big on tv so it just depends on your family
Reply:I have three kids now aged 6, 4 and 3. Right now they watch about 30 minutes of the Noggin channel before school, and then they get an hour before bed.





There were definitely days though I felt like they watched TV all day, when they were younger, especially in the winter. When you've got young children, you got to do what works. Once they get older and are in school, etc. it cuts down their TV time significantly. HOpe this helps!!
Reply:the recomendation for young children(over 2's) is no more than 2 hours of t.v. and computer time.
Reply:well i have 3. They watch Noggin in the morning which is very educational so i dont worry. My 5yr old plays on the computer about an hour a day. math and spelling games and she loves it. My 2 yr old watched his movies and noggin pretty much all day when he isnt running around. My 8 month old is sitting watching dora right now! As long as the shows and games are educational and they still get outside play time, DONT WORRY ABOUT IT. Theyll be fine.
