As you might know, I'm writing on an web application, a tool/helper to an online game, Travian. I did a version in three months spare time last spring. I painted myself into a corner as the application grew faster and bigger than expected.

This fall, I started a complete rewrite of the code and I thaught I sat up a good structure for myself. I was very confident that it will be great, and it is not bad, not bad at all. However, I started to wonder if I could do something even better, ...

I'm coding some projects, and I can only say that I actually love the php template engine Smarty. I have had discussions here on CodeCall and several taught it is a bad idea, but I find it wonderful. I just love the two layer functionality, and that it's already made, I don't have to re invent the wheel.

It gives me a lot of advantages, as I don't have to think about any outputs when writing my pages, I only have to think about pushing the relevant data to the template engine, ...

Hello there. I'm unemployed as previous stated.

Now I'm going to tell you a bit of the opportune to get educated by governmental funds here in Sweden, and especially in the IT area. I can read programming, actually. Web programming. Then they offer MCSE certification, in windows 2000, outdated ages ago, so I believe I can't trust that the crash course in programming is more updated than 1990's. Web development and programming with HTML 3.0, I'm afraid. I guess they've never heard ...

I think this is the largest problems for programmers of today. To be too conservative.

The programming languages evolves, new programming languages are created, and others maybe not be obsolete, but will sink back in usage at least. The only language that actually has stood in this windy business is C/C++. It has lasted for more than most languages has, and especially with such a competitor as java taking place on the programming scene.

The older programming languages ...

Wow. I have had an great experience lately. I've been working with a python script and been customizing it for a few days. And Python does have potential, oh yeah!

I find the language easy to program in, most of the time, but it has many special things that isn't so easy. I have troubles finding good documentation. python.org is not especially good source for good python documentation, if you compare it to php.net for example.

It's understandable as it's more third ...

I'm realizing I'm outdated. Totally. at least when it comes to programming

I started off with Pascal. Not the worlds most famous language perhaps, but it did what we wanted to,and pretty easy to learn. Then I jumped on to C and C++ (combined, in the same high school course sadly enough) And I got most of it, but never really got deeply in love with OOP, as I've blogged about before.

Then the web arrived. (yes, I'm that old so I were programming before Internet boom.) ...

Just giving a few thaugts on this subject, sitting up and can't sleep, 3:37am...To start with, I mainly code PHP, just to let you get a feeling on what I'm talking about in some ways.I know the basics in OOP, that's not a problem. I've written a few classes here and there, when I have found it useful. The problem I have is that in most cases, I find the OOP less useful than procedural programming (PP now on)Is that because my codings are lacking of reusable objects? Or is this because old habits ...
