MSE Computer Programming Thread

PROLIANT

Just a thought, as there seem's to be a lot of like minded techies on this forum I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread on computer programming where people who write code for a living or just have a general interest could gather and provide tip's, trick's and advice on programming.

The thread Could cover all aspects of programming from C#, SQL, VB, PHP, HTML, ASPX, C++, C, ASM etc, so what do you reckon then, make it a sticky?

static void main
printF("Hello World!)

There are literally thousands of forums dedicated to the various aspects / languages involved.

I dont see how you can expect to cover anything meaningful in one thread?

Sorry.

If reason_for_thread != 'good idea' then
exit
endif;

Hi Paul, there is nothing on MSE to cover this subject, just thought it would be nice to something on here that was all.

I'd quite like to learn a bit from a thread like this. I need to get round to learning C properly soon. Might do a bit more PHP first though.

I agree with Paul; there are so many other forums out there that cover programming, and it would be pretty difficult to go in-depth in just one thread.

"Programming" is pretty general and could cover thousands and thousands of different topics, most of which would be pretty incomprehensible to the general readership here.

But, if people want to talk about programming, time will tell. I don't recall it being a topic that comes up very frequently though.

DatabaseError

10 PRINT "HELLO MSE PEOPLE"
20 GOTO 10

what more does anyone need to know?

No wonder the database got an error, with infinite loops like that!

I used to be able to write basic on a ZX81, does that count.....:rotfl:

Marty, I am aware of the vast amount fora on the internet covering programming, however as MSE has a varied audience it would be an ideal place to start a general discussion thread and as you stated this is not the type of subject to arise at high frequency on MSE so following the thread would not really be an issue.

Yes! Those were the days when you could rule the world on 128Kb of RAM!

That was the plan, hence no subroutine or count
