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.

Yeah, HANA is actually pretty cool. And that's not a word I use often around business software...

Huh is SAP really considered gold standard in terms of software employment in EU? Don't really hear too much** about it in the US, except maybe that trying to integrate with their APIs is a pain and ABAP is the work of the devil incarnate (probably both exaggerations, idk).

**From an employment perspective, not sales, since a lot of huge companies use SAP.

It's the biggest tech company in Europe. They probably hire more programmers in Germany than all other tech shops combined. And at least here they are considered a top employer.

Also, everything I hear from all the new age SAP stuff (HANA, Cloud, Fiori, etc) is pretty sexy. It's not all writing reports in ABAP anymore.

Is it really that big? I'd never heard of it before it was mentioned in this thread.

I'd never heard of it either, and their headquarters are basically in my backyard. I did some research before my interview and was surprised they're like the 5th biggest software company overall, and the biggest outside of the US.

It's just that their products are purely business facing, so only boring people know them.

At my university students get the opportunity to do SAP courses and get certificates every semester. These courses are provided to our students much cheaper than they would usually be. They always like to point out how well these certificates will do on a resume.

Nobody has really suggested anything in a while. I still add stuff every now and then.

Also, php.net has some of the best standard docs there are, use them.

Also, none of the letters in my name are capitalized :|

1. in germany you probably want to have a bachelors degree to have the ability to get promoted into positions with more responsibility, its rare that people without one get opportunities.

2. Masters isnt needed as much in this field unless you want to do research, businesses are generally happy with a bachelor from a FH

3. Big companies like SAP can be very good for learning from your peers, imo

4. Small companies can also be nice if you end up with more responsibility quickly and also you might do new projects pretty rapidly



I work for a smaller company and have new projects every few weeks, ranging from embedded programming for cortex CPUs to writing smaller business software like tracking products, production times and quality.
However i have to be very careful about my practices as i basically have noone that can review me or imprint institutional knowledge.

PHPTRW is decent. Php.net docs are good but beware of the comments. Sometimes there's some really good advice/examples in there and sometimes you stumble upon stuff written 10 years ago with code that elicits nothing more than "WTF?!" from you.

Also, I can't recommend Symfony docs enough. They're framework specific but this entire framework is based on best practices in modern web development and their docs are absolutely amazing (and they're pretty influential in PHP development, just like Spring was in Java). It's also worth knowing at least part of that because almost every single modern PHP framework is using stuff from Symfony (mostly console component but I've seen plenty of other dependencies, pretty much how most of the frameworks are using Zend Cache).
Time is precious. Waste it wisely.

Someone mind explaining to me why this is only executed once end then finishes with an exit value of 0 which would suggest there wherent any errors? The while loop should theoretically execute forever but it doesn't. I can send one message and afterwards it terminates, but the exit value is 0. My best guess at the moment is that something inside the MQTTAsync stuff forces the termination but without giving the proper exit code.

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
while(true){
MQTTAsync client;
MQTTAsync_connectOptions conn_opts = MQTTAsync_connectOptions_initializer;
MQTTAsync_message pubmsg = MQTTAsync_message_initializer;
MQTTAsync_token token;
int rc;

MQTTAsync_create(&client, ADDRESS, CLIENTID, MQTTCLIENT_PERSISTENCE_NONE, NULL);

MQTTAsync_setCallbacks(client, NULL, connlost, NULL, NULL);

conn_opts.keepAliveInterval = 20;
conn_opts.cleansession = 1;
conn_opts.onSuccess = onConnect;
conn_opts.onFailure = onConnectFailure;
conn_opts.context = client;
if ((rc = MQTTAsync_connect(client, &conn_opts)) != MQTTASYNC_SUCCESS)
{
printf("Failed to start connect, return code %d\n", rc);
exit(-1);
}

printf("Waiting for publication of %s\n"
"on topic %s for client with ClientID: %s\n",
PAYLOAD, TOPIC, CLIENTID);
while (!finished)
#if defined(WIN32) || defined(WIN64)
Sleep(100);
#else
usleep(10000L);
#endif

MQTTAsync_destroy(&client);
return rc;
}
}

There's that "return rc" towards the end that quits "main()".

So I'm messing around with C# and I'm building a financial calculator (using a form) and I had a question.

So basically I want to calculate the rate of return, but I wish to do so dynamically. So what I would want is that the user inputs data into available text boxes, and then as soon as the user inputs values into those text boxes, the program would populate another text box using that information. Note that this would be done without pressing a button (e.g., hitting a "calculate" button to calculate the value) and would happen as soon as the data is entered.

I was thinking of having a thread or something help me out with this, and I did some looking online and "DoEvents" seemed like a possibility. However I did some reading up on it and now I'm not so sure if that's the best course of action.

If anyone knows what I'm talking about (sorry if I'm unclear) and knows what I want to accomplish and could point me in the right direction, I'd be super grateful.

Why not react to changes being made to the textfields? Every time the user inputs some numbers you update the other textfield. I dont see why you would ever need multi threading for this.

Pretty much this. I don't know anything about C#, but if it requires multithreading to react to user input, it seems terrible... and what I have heard is that C# is not terrible.
