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. | ||

I suggest you look through a bunch of job offers of employers in your region and/or employers you'd like to work for and find out what languages they are hiring for. Job offers in the future (when you actually apply for one) might not ask for the same languages anymore, but there will always be an old code base that at least needs to be maintained. | ||

You don't need to allocate the struct Counters on the heap, you're destroying it right away anyways - let the compiler do the work for you, put it on the stack. Then pass &counters to all Counters_test_* functions instead of counters. Also, your naming is pretty damn weird  in my experience C programmers tend to pick either PascalCase or snake_case (pretty infrequently camelCase) but either way, pick one and stick with it lol | ||

The function is called test but it also increments a pointer value rather than returning anything. Also yeah, I'm working in C but I like the advice given. The only thing I'd change is wrapping the second code in an inc_time() function. | ||

That is definitely true. On the other hand, maintaining legacy code is hell. Fixing code you wrote 6 month ago yourself is already terrible, fixing code others wrote 6 years ago can kill you. | ||

It's rare to get a job where you don't have to work with old code in one way or another. Better accept that possibilty and be prepared for it than ignoring it. | ||

It does suck tho when it's just completely fucked up from the core and it's better to just rewrite it. I actually do like refactoring if I get the time to do it properly. Sadly that's usually not the case because stuff needs to get done. Rewriting legacy code (that is in use) from scratch is usually a bad idea beacuse by the time you're done rewriting you'll be faced with a huge amount of incompatabilities that stem from bugs in the legacy code (that have been worked around) AND your own code. It's better to develop a plan how to refactor the legacy code in small steps and then do those one by one. | ||

I personally love Sublime, and you can get some extensions to make autocompletes and code-aware upgrades. I personally really like atom, but if you want an editor for web-based stuff, you could give brackets a try. | ||

Yes this sounds good And is the networking part be handled by the Model, or by the Controler ? All the logic should be handled by controllers, models are just there to hold values. | ||

I really need to work my C-foo back up a bit http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/general/134491-the-big-programming-thread?page=677#13538 Sorry I didn't see it earlier. Without more details then yea, generally breaking the incrementing out into smaller readable chunks helps. This isn't really a C-specific concern though, you'd find the same problem in Java, C++, etc. Idk about the other wrappers, my C is too rusty. I was just pointing out the fact that it looked like embedded timer code, and thus you might not actually need all those variables incremented every time. | ||

In this case I agree, but in general, I would say that your model exists to abstract away from your values. If you store the time in milliseconds, but are only ever interested in whether it is morning, afternoon or night, that is "logic" that your model should do. Your model should provide the appropriate and necessary information. Often that's just passing on values, but it can require computation. | ||

In Java, an interface is a collection of methods that will be used by any class that implements the interface. | ||

You're correct, if you mean "has to be implemented by" instead of "will be used by". I'd write something like: An interface is a collection of method signatures that has to be implemented in all classes that implement the interface. | ||
