Hey /prog/,


I'm sure you get a lot of questions like this but here it goes. For work I am being sent to take a year long Geomatics course at night school. The program states that I should be at least familiar with computer programming to a degree, they explain it as such...

"The program covers many programming languages. Programming languages taught currently in the courses include Java, Python, JavaScript, PHP and others. You should know programming concepts and program design before starting the program, but you do not need to know any particular programming language."


Don't get me wrong, this is not a computer science degree course, this is a short course which requires a bit of programming, so I gather. Could anyone recommend some resources that could help me get a start understanding basic programming concepts.

Thank you.

why the fuck does feh do this?
any better alternatives other than qiv or sxiv?

The problem might be an extension to my non tiling wm, which gives it basic twm abilities. Anyways, in the extension, I set it to get rid of window borders for all windows, but even if I command "feh -x file.jpg", it will still do this.

Hey /n/!
First time here..
4chan doesn't have a /pr/ which is what brought me here.

I'm looking to start developing android apps. I have a great grasp on anything computer related, dabble in web development and am currently looking to expand my knowledge.

At this point in time I'm running Lubuntu 14.04 with Android Studio installed. I decided to install this as I saw Google was looking to sway away from eclipse and possibly end plugin development.

My question is, where should I start?!

Does anyone have any good sites for tutorials, torrents or video tuts they can link me to?

I've started using CodeAcademy to learn Java but was looking for something that tends to be more specific to what I'm doing (Android Apps).

i'm pretty new to java. it's the first language i've learned. right now i'm trying to write a program that reads from a list of youtube links and opens each link ( formatted as such: https://www.youtube.com/v/EaKUmIR0qDU?autoplay=1) in a new frame. it's not supposed to be too pretty; i'm trying to make a visual application for a party.

i'm running into a lot of issues, but here are the questions i have right now. how the fuck do i get a youtube video to play in a jframe? i tried using the native swing library's JWebBrowser, but I can't even get the internet to work in a JWebBrowser object. I'm using ubuntu. is there another solution for playing videos (specifically youtube videos) in a JFrame? i only know java.

If God were a scientist, which scientist would he be?

You will never be this obsessed, why even do this shit if you can't be an insane wizard? Saying esoteric shit that means nothing, that will later be the scripture of a wide spread religion.
>why?

I'm trying to get into doing contracted work for people seeking Wordpress themes, what is a typical request that clients will ask me for?

I'm considering in throwing together a small game in JavaScript and having it interface with MySQL and other Wordpress technologies to show people that I am capable of putting together Wordpress themes that can perform a wide range of functions with HTML5/AJAX/CSS/MySQL/PHP.

Sorry if it sounds like I have no idea what I'm doing, but that's sort of the reason why I'm asking this question in the first place.

Hey programmers.
Quick question.
I would like to make a simple program in c#.
The program would contain 2 text boxs and a button.
The content of the text box would be a folders locations. The action the program has to make is to copy paste a certain folder from one directory to other. For example \\ee-l-7000459\c$\users\EERAIK to another pc. (Profile copy) The point of the program would be that you could make this copy from my work pc as soon as 2 pc-s are connected to the network (no need to log in to the actual machine).

Thanks :) (A link to a thread that has informtation about this thing is more than enough . i just wasnt able to find a tutorial how to add lines from text box to certain parts of the code. Thanks !)

Sup, been learning C as of late from this book,
C Programming for the Absolute Beginner.
it is a light book so I should be able to finish it before next term.

Next term I am taking my Programming Fundamentals class in Python.
It is based on the Think Python book (greenteapress <dot> com), I have already read up to tuples.
Wanted to open a generall discussion for undergrad computer science.
I get the vibe that computer science programs do not teach you enough.
I am a little concerned by this, along with the fact I am a pleb at math.
(next term i'll be taking college algebra as well)

What should a computer scientist know? More importantly what is a good sequence for self-learning?
My intent is to read ANSI C next then Think Operating Systems to solidfy my knowledge on C.

To rephrase, I am trying to build my self a complimentary self-learning ciriculum that will blend alongside my actual studies. The college that I am attending is online and only accredited by the DETC. I am attending their because it is cheap but I want to make sure I have adequet skills.

I know it's extremely dated now, but my roommate and I like to play WarCraft 3 pretty often. The default keys are pretty fucking retarded (like why would you assign "P" as the hotkey to build a Peon? That shit is so inconvenient to press) so I've made far better custom hotkeys for the races we play. I did this using the provided method by Blizzard (which is also pretty inconvenient, pic related), which is editing a .txt file filled with the default hotkeys. That's all well and good as long as you're using only letters. But what I want to do is remap Attack to the key above Tab and next to 1 (for me it's ` or ~). Unfortunately, WarCraft 3 doesn't recognize that as a valid hotkey because it's not a letter.

That's not too important to my question, just a bit of context. What I noticed is that it does recognize Esc as a hotkey to cancel buildings or units; instead of a letter, the code for Esc is 512. So I've looked around online and I have no idea why. In every list I've looked at like Javascript or ASCII, the Esc key code is 27. So where is this 512 coming from? Is it just a made up Blizzard thing, or is there a place where I could see a full list and find out what the `/~ key's code is?

Does /n/ have any experience with any ergonomic mouse? My right wrist starts to hurt whenever I use my regular mouse for an hour or so. I'm thinking of getting pic related. Is it any good?

Programming challenge: Write a quick program that will draw a Sierpinski triangle using a recursive or iterative process.

This is my attempt. Each line is described by an array of booleans. The next line is generated by taking the XOR of consecutive elements in the array.

How much of a performance difference is WD Black from WD Blue? I heard WD Blacks were also louder.

Also, is there any way to tell how many platters there are in one? Is there such thing as 4tb single platter HDDs?

I'm in Japan and I have a Verizon phone with a Verizon SIM. Would it cause problems keeping the phone # and such if I put Cyanogenmod on my phone while outside the US?
