Well, our school doesn’t let us download and use software from school, and I can’t run perl scripts from these computers, sooo…I’ve discovered the great world of web SSH clients.
The best one I’ve found is this one. Just thought I’d share this with you.
I’m looking for a new language to learn, as I’ve had less and less things to do every day now. It’ll fill in some of the gap for now. The thing is that I’m looking for a language that is good to use on some short and dirty programs that sometimes you’ll want to whip out just to automate some easy, but tedious task. But also I’d like it powerful enough to do some more complex stuff, and not make it too difficult to do so. I did some Java before, but even just to get started, you needed to type a bunch of stuff, and sometimes the actual working code is less than half of the whole program. I got tired of it and just stopped.
Any suggestions/recommendations?
I was looking into perl, until I saw some short and VERY dirty code. Maybe python? Or even ruby? Also any recommendations on what book to use for learning the language? (It seems like a book suits me better than a web page/PDF/etc. I am lazy, and don’t really fancy switching focus constantly)
In CompSci class, we’ve just got an assignment where we have to work on a program in Java. It can be on anything and can do anything, but has to be worth about 4-5 weeks of work.
Well, I’ve decided to do something with Cocoa, just to start getting familiar with it. But, I need some ideas for the project. Someone in our group proposed a stock simulation. I think it may be too easy if we just pull stock information off the internet, and too complex if we simulate stocks by making our own class.
Well, any ideas on how/what to do with the stocks? Or maybe some other project we can work on?
And, no, it cannot be in Objective C. The class is *Java* orientated.
*Update*: Well, the group has decided to do a Chess game instead.
