>____> loser.

I'm actually using InterDev now... It like VB, but allows you to run other languages such as Java and code for SQL, as well as HMTL and XML. All because of a little <% function. Wee.

.... annoying programmer types, you asked for this. if you're quoting your course all over the place, why can't i?


'In an earlier period explanations in terms of occult qualities had been an integral part of productive scientific work. Nevertheless, the seventeenth century’s new commitment to mechanico-corpuscular explanation proved immensely fruitful for a number of sciences, ridding them of problems that had defied generally accepted solution and suggesting others to replace them. In dynamics, for example, Newton’s three laws of motion are less a product of novel experiments than of the attempt to reinterpret well-known observations in terms of the motions and interactions of primary neutral corpuscles. Consider just one concrete illustration. Since neutral corpuscles could act on each other only by contact, the mechanico-corpuscular view of nature directed scientific attention to a brand-new subject of study, the alteration of particulate motions by collisions. Descartes announced the problem and provided its first putative solution. Huygens, Wren, and Wallis carried it still further, partly by experimenting with colliding pendulum bobs, but mostly by applying previously well-known characteristics of motion to the new problem. And Newton embedded their results in his laws of motion. The equal “actionâ€

Actually lantis <% is for ASP (which is vbscript or javascript and in VS its also used for ASP.NET which can be vb or c# or c++ etc etc. and it's actually not a function its a tag marking server side codeing. for php though you use <php> i like php though some people call it pretty horrible program *shrug*

but yeah, interdev is a good tool. most find it better than dreamweaver, me included =P, i don't see how you think it's like VB though since its a Web Development tool as opposed to an application development tool o.0 two compeltely different things. Actually to be honest your post doesn't make a whole lot of sense but all the same. Yay Interdev! and this is the thread where we say nice things about someone right?

Lantis is a good learner and will one day be very successful!

=Þ

and Sumisem has to be the coolest woman on the face of the earth... I mean she has to be more rare than gamer-chicks... which any gamer knows are on in a million (well, maybe hundred)... but a coding-chick? Wow...

*thumbs up*

coolest woman yeah thats the word for it >___>

Yeah coding women are rare. I think it was somthing like 5% females in our computer science department at GA Tech. For some reason women fear computers.

Oh and to your comment Sumisem, I was talking about linking C++ not C# using third party libraries, not your own. That is where the fun begins as all of them like to conflict with each other, oh and if you accendentally change the runtime library used with one of your files get ready for some pretty impossible to figure out link errors. Some of them you even have to fix their code so they compile in the first place. Fun times.

As for using other languages in another language I really don't think that's a very good idea, as deciphering that code would be very difficult. Of course actually you can already use Java in C/C++ code by giving your Java files .h files.

So yeah Sumisem is cool for being one of the few women not afraid of computers, or programming. Never understood why that scares so many of them off, guess maybe it's the stereotype of the guy coder. Some of us do shower everyday, and our diet doesn't consist of pizza and soda, I can even cook .

I'm still a pizza/soda guy....

Hmmm i think women who code are atleast out at 10%

It's ok Lantis, eventually you grow out of it, and your skin will thank you for it, and probably your body in general. Cookings not all that hard, most of it is following instructions, which CS guys are typically good at.

And you're probably right in general Hell Hunter, just that at my school I think there was a maximum of 5 girls in any of my classes, most of the time 1 or 2, and in a couple none at all (and pretty much all of them were the same ones). So at my school it was like 5%. Though the school as a whole was like 33% girls 66% guys.

lol, I'm not beat up over it honestly. I eat out quite a bit. I do the whole hamburger helper thing too. Meh, but I still like pizza and soda (actually, where I'm from no one say "soda" or "pop"... they call everything "coke". Which is weird, cause if someone asks you if you want a "coke"... most people say "yes... Dr Pepper" or whatever)

My mom is a programmer who works for EDS(elective Data systems) but there are 10 girls in programming with me.

I had a few girls in my classes too... I doubt they are using any of it though....

Oh, and Facts is awsome.

Some of them are going for multimedia or game design.

And sumisem is helpful in a way:glomp

OMG THIRD PARTY! RUN!
that is definitly the worse yeah. i really gotta agree. we had this one stupid project where we had to take some prewritten code and make the rest of the program. He had this recordset connection to an SQL Server table or whatever... and in the recordset he set the date to be a integer... WTF and it took me so long to figure out because i wasn't sure wtf i was doing wrong in the code, he also had something else initiated as the wrong type of sqlserver variable thing. it was uber freaking stress that project. i gotta say, screw third party coding, if it doesn't work - throw it out. it's just not worth it.


What do you mean other languages in another language?


^ taizon is very ambitious and hard working. ^__^
Lantis looks pretty good for being a pizza and pop guy.
thetruecoolness probably smells good on a regular basis XD

Well I just mean mixing scripting and regular code, gets really ugly.

And we had a project once in Java where we had to extend someone elses code. We were writing a simple Wargame simulator, and of course it had to use OpenMap, and work on Mac, which was a lot more difficult that that needed to be. So that was fun, as I think that's all they did all semester was add in OpenMap, and not so well. Plus there was no seperation of the GUI and backend, which is always the first sign of quality code.

But of course once you get on bigger projects you won't be able to write everything from scratch as that would take so long. Of course I like writing things from scratch, less headache getting other things to work. Unless it's image code or something like that, cause working with image formats is very difficult.

And I like PHP, though of course it's the only serverside programming language I know, but it seems to be a fairly decent extension of C. Though it took a while to get used to the whole $ before a variable name. It's about as easy as using Javascript to make page templates which saves so much time when making websites and your site is still readable by search engines. I'm about to try to write a game using just PHP, Javascript and XHTML/CSS, since it's going to be a webgame, and I don't want people to have to worry about getting anything else.

Oh yeah, nice things, well Everyone who posted in this topic is cool.
And I do smell pretty good most of the time, well really I probably just have a lack of scent, which is good. My diet isn't the best but it has definitly improved from Sophomore year of college. And really cooked food taste so much better than microwaved stuff, and is normally cheaper than eating out. No hamburger helper for me, I hate that stuff, I'de rather make some hamburger patties with some spices added in to kick them up a notch. BAM.

Oh and Regal, I take it you're a physics major?

PSH! no way, Regal is a Philosopher! like harry potter and the philosophers stone.. muahahaha (sorry Regal, i'm sure you'll hate me for that one)

Harry potter is far from a philosopher

Well I took a philosophy class in college, and enjoy debating the higher questions of life through Socratic dialog. I actually was not very convinced with Descartes I think therefore I am argument (and actually he never said those exact words I don't believe). which we read in that class along with a lot of other things. Actually at the Pav and over at the Domain there have been two belief threads there, so that was a fun exercise in Philosophical discussion, questioning the idea of facts and truth, and what they really are. Are they more then just socially held majority opinions or is there a real absolute truth out there that is obtainable. An interesting question. It's always fun to sit and wonder what if everything you were ever told was a lie, what would that mean, what impact would that have on you, what if they didn't even know they were lieing to you? Philosophy is fun, though sadly never practical, except to keep our egos in check.

hehehe, true enough. its odd, the only part of scepticism that actually means anything, the idea that we can know nothing... well... it actually doesn't matter at all to us.

thats what philosophy teaches, i guess; that nothing really matters. also; how to argue like an annoying b*astard ^_^

physics was a good guess, though, that excerpt was from philosophy of science. id've done physics... thing is i can only get an average value for 1+1, so it would've ended badly. me no do maths :s
