EPTThe Big Programming Thread - Page 622
| Forum Index > General Forum |
Thread Rules 1. This is not a "do my homework for me" thread. If you have specific questions, ask, but don't post an assignment or homework problem and expect an exact solution. 2. No recruiting for your cockamamie projects (you won't replace facebook with 3 dudes you found on the internet and $20) 3. If you can't articulate why a language is bad, don't start slinging shit about it. Just remember that nothing is worse than making CSS IE6 compatible. 4. Use [code] tags to format code blocks. | ||

You make it sound like Java can't do that project in a day either. There's plenty of places to argue the pros and cons of different languages. A school project where someone is learning how systems and architectures work, and still learning to program, is really not one of them. | ||

It would get to the point where I would stop being productive and start actually slowing my progress by adding buggy code that I would have to fight with later on once I had got some rest and was at least semi-awake again. Energy is just as much of a resource for programmers as time is. I'm not kidding when I say I believe that after 4 hours of actual work I start to suck at what I do. | ||

A school project where someone is learning how systems and architectures work, and still learning to program, is really not one of them. I never said it can't. What I'm saying is that doing your first real programming in Java, without prior experience is like shooting yourself in the foot. Sure, you can do some amazing things in Java when you're experienced enough to do it properly and know how to move around. Especially that what he did was a web api. For that PHP is just much simpler, which would make it easier for him. Especially that you don't have to do OOP in PHP if you don't want to and in Java you're pretty much forced to do it, which adds yet another layer of things you must get a hang of. That's why I suggested PHP, simpler syntax, no compilation required, practically no external libraries, good documentation, easier to find help, perfect for small web apps if you're not an experienced programmer. | ||

I mean you "almost" were able to do everything, right? Add 1 more month and how do you think your result would look like? (or from how much less stress you would've suffered) You yourself wrote "ehh i better check for random timestamps incase they see i done the whole thing in a week". The only good thing from all your posts here is hopefully a student realizing "I should start my assignments on time". 1 week before the deadline? Everything is functional & tested and only a bit of formatting / layout / documentation is left to do. Never deployed a web app? Assume it takes you one week. Backups? At least 3 (PC, Notebook, web). Assume it takes you one week to setup everything so you can use it properly. Yes, all those "trivial" 1 week things will not take you one week. But there will be that one "trivial" thing which will take you one week. And you will be glad that you have extra time. If you finished earlier - who cares? Enjoy your free time. | ||

There's all sorts of ways to deal with "not thinking right" A good place to start is to find someone/something (a pet dog will do) and explain what it is you're trying to do to them. After you get good at it you'll start doing these mental resets yourself - you'll do more reading than coding, which is good. Eventually you;ll keep everything in your head. ...Which is not necessarily a good thing since you stop commenting and then you come back a year later and wonder what was it that you did. | ||

And even if I could, I probably wouldn't want to. b) Usually the job involves way more reading than typing. The thing with the comments... yeah. I tend to get lazy when I'm "in the zone" but that comes up during code reviews. But that's not what I'm talking about. I did exaggerate when I said I "suck" but I get less productive even after taking breaks. I think something like 4 hours of work, 4 hours break, 4 hours of work could probably help with my productivity. | ||

My coworkers have a lot of strategies to chill out. One of the senior devs will just take 2 hours off in the middle of the day and go to the gym for a bit. But he's really important so I'm not sure that works for everyone :p I find proper breaks every 30 minutes help as well as walking around a bit and joking with my co-workers. | ||

had to wait in a queue for 3 hours to get my project Bound. and before that spent £60 to print it in the library just incase . and the fucking page numbers incremented by 1 and the printer fucking put a couple of things on the wrong page contrarity to the fucking onscreen layout. and in the 3 hours i read it thru and saw a pretty shitty amoiount of dilerious spelling and grammar mistakes . but its OK on the whole, just not great my head is spinning like crazy (not hurting literally spinning), i spent the last hour basically drunk as if i was on vodka . im finally home and got £20 worth of fast food project : DONE tomorrow .... math assignment !!! | ||
