Okay /prog/, I'd like your honest opinions on these queries of mine.
1. Which should I study first: Java; C++, or something else?
2. Which would be better for application development?
3. Once I decide on which one, what should I use for compiler(s), and dev. tools?

I know that if I learn C++ first, Java becomes almost second nature due to being similar to C++, but I've been told Java is slightly less complex for OOP, because it is completely OO.
With C++, I can start doing what I want to do with the knowledge, which is mobile apps and homebrew... (extravocational programming, just for fun).

Hello /prog/
I'm made a new YouTube account and don't want to manually click to Subscribe again to every single one of my 300+ subscriptions from my old account. I've been trying to figure out a way to use JavaScript and PHP to do this but I'm coming up dry so far. Basically I'm thinking a simple script would be to use a text file with the names of all the previous channel names I was subscribed to. It finds a name, prepends "http://www.youtube.com/" to the beginning of it, goes to that URL, uses JavaScript or whatever to Subscribe, and once it detects that the channel was added to my Subscriptions list, it goes down to the next name on the list and so on until it's done. Is such a script possible to create?

Use cURL + Regex to grab all the subscriptions from your old account and then re-subscribe to them with the link provided above.

>> No.5038 Ban Global Ban Ignore Report

>>5036

It doesn't work, just redirects to said channel without subscribing. I thought it was JavaScript because the Subscribe button appeared to be linked to a script when looking at it in Firebug. I've tried cumbersome methods like making 5 iframes load 5 different channels at a time, but you still have to manually click the Subscribe button. There must be a way to be able to fulfill the Subscribe request just by clicking the hyperlink, without having to be on the channel page...

>> No.5095 Ban Global Ban Ignore Report

I've been wanting to create something similar to this, but more of a Twitter auto-following machine. I don't think there's any easy way to do it with JavaScript, though, as that's more for visual effects and page interactions on the front-end.

>> No.5127 Ban Global Ban Ignore Report

>>5037
Using expressions or shell to mass-subscribe to the strings (in this case, hyperlinks) isn't the problem. The issue so far is just trying to figure out what the hyperlink/script for subscribing actually is. The hyperlink given a few replies above isn't it, that's just the "login" link that the Subscribe button is set to by default if you're not signed in with a username. When you're signed in with a username, the hyperlink on the Subscribe button changes to JavaScript as far as I can tell, and I can figure out how to manipulate this from outside the page itself.

>> No.5142 Ban Global Ban Ignore Report

>>5127
Watch the traffic and see what URL gets requested when you click subscribe. Fire up Wireshark, or better yet one of those firefox extentions that let you watch all your HTTP headers.

I've been following a tutorial series on Reddit that tries to teach C. It goes from the most basic of the basic and fully explains the concepts before you are expected to do anything with them. Some might find the approach a bit dry, but I like it a lot so far.

Say what tripfag? I've been programming embedded C for the last two years, and although I have the book, I haven't used it as reference since I read it through the first time. I own the first edition.

It's an ok primer, but google > K&R as a reference IMO.

If I were to start from the bottom, I'd definitely choose another book, as there are better books out there to learn from. I haven't read the second edition, but the first edition is getting old IMO.

Hey guys, I've been learning HTML/CSS for a while now (with a bit of JavaScript as well) and was wandering where to go next. Would it be useful to pick up a proper programming language or carry on with languages related to Web design? I'm pretty interested in using both so I can't decide.

Hey /prog/, how many of you actually WORK as professional programmers? Not that I'm implying programming as a hobby is a bad thing, far from it, I'm just stressing about my future as a coder and need some practical advice.

My HIGHEST goal is to work on game development. I've considered transferring to DigiPen, but truth is I'm a pussy and I have no idea how the game industry will fare over the coming years. Of course programming games is wonderful, but if I'm going to be stuck contributing to the shit being produced today I don't know that it's worth it. So first and foremost, does anybody know anything about programming/software engineering for the games industry?

>Most developer jobs in Denmark is like this. It's very old fashioned to have fixed office hours and dress code died in the fifties here. Are all jobs like this in the US?

Fixed office ours are common in many programming jobs in Canada, especially when it comes to higher profile companies -- just not in gaming.

I think about half of the developer jobs here have fixed office hours, but the past couple of years, flexible work hours have become more and more common. It's not though of as a some youthful hippie rebellion, so even the well renowned companies are doing it, cause it gives the employers a higher degree of satisfaction with their jobs. Often, they'll have a daily scrum or some other sort of meeting at 10am or something like that, and then you're required to be in at 10 the latest.

It's one of the central doctrines of agile development - the idea is to avoid burnout and have realistic expectations for schedules.

Of course death marches exist everywhere, more often in the entertainment industries because you're selling to a fickle target market that by definition buys form over function, unless you're lucky enough to get into some skunkworks outfit. Then you've practically got it made. Unfortunately the prerequisite seems to be brilliance or shitloads of experience.

From the little I've heard of game development, its not as glorious as you think. Yes, you like playing games, you might even like thinking about different game mechanics, but programming a game you're just going to be implementing the game. The game is already decided. I've heard the work conditions/environment for game development isn't that great. I've seen a few threads about it on reddit, you might want to see if you can't dig them up on google.

There are so many exciting things to program outside of games. I can't talk about what I've programed, but it was sorta related to hospital stuff and it was one of the coolest projects ever. The first week or so I spent learning about the product, I was mindblown 100x more than building a video game could ever do to me.

That's certainly true for bigger game projects. I think it's right that it's generally lower pay + cool coworkers / athmosphere depending on the place. So it can be similar and as interesting as any enterprise.

But like I said (5066) that's very different in an indie project, where you have a much bigger say. It's also even lower paid / more risky, but you can make it work. Start something or find a project to join.

Well It's kinda hard to really get into the field without some programming so if your interested and committed I'd do the following

first check out A star(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A*_search_algorithm) it's the basis of alot of path finding methods.

If you can make even the slightest sense of that article then there's a good chance you could learn.

Helpful Hint: In reality the game world will be represented in memory as a finite number of locations so when the article says node think of it as a location.

i used to code on meth back some 4 years ago now. the code turned out terrible!

while i was writing it i saw no flaws, my knee just jumped up and down while my penis shriveled up to the size of a prune but i saw no flaws in the code i was writing.

it wasn't until weeks later when i had to audit the code, modify it or develop it further that i noticed the stupidity behind the decisions i had made on meth.

When it comes to coding on speed, I've found planning / designing beforehand helps a ton with that. The speed is best for focusing on just grinding through lines of code after.

Dude, computer programmers love to trip balls and do drugs. Back in college almost all of my drug-dealers / tripping buddies were CS majors. They're probably only beat by art majors, but art majors are faggots anyway.

Anyway, in regards to your work why is it a big deal? You go to work for a paycheck. You exchange your time and labor for money. That's the point of a job. It's not to have fun and make buddies. Welcome to the real world.

And you should be thankful that they''re paying you anything at all to babysit you kids. They're doing a favor to you because you're probably so inexperienced at the moment that they'd actually lose money if they paid you a regular salary. (Or at least that's my experience with most interns, some are exceptions).

This is very true. I do development for web applications, and physically writing down the flow of my apps before I rip through some addy helps a ton, then I can just focus for 8-10+ hours of just keyboard-slamming lines of code.

As a young professional (hired for my first full-time job at an ad agency just before I turned 18, also had my own corporate clients at 18), I think I've figured something out: if they can determine that you know your shit well enough to get the job done, then the employer can save money by hiring you since you're either inexperienced or don't have a degree. It works out for everybody.
