    Using PHP/MySQL to create Algebra Equations

    I think you would need to be more specific about what you're trying to do. Are you trying to make a simplified version of wolfram alpha?

    C# - Rename if length over X

    I would say this is probably the better approach.

    Want to relearn C, what book?

    And I'm saying if you want those students to come out of school with lots of bad habits and misconceptions ingrained in them, having an 'applied computer science' degree that teaches them how to misuse jQuery and Angular is a fantastic idea. If your goal is to have them be prepared for work...

    Want to relearn C, what book?

    Libraries can use jQuery all they want internally without a developer needing to 'know jQuery'. Of course, most libraries, at least the ones where the authors actually want people to use their stuff, don't use jQuery or at minimum don't pull in full jQuery, because jQuery is both large and...

    Want to relearn C, what book?

    That's because jQuery, CSS and workflow management have absolutely nothing to do computer science what-so-ever. jQuery is hardly fundemental to client-side JavaScript, let alone computer science as a whole. Computer science isn't about getting a job as a two-bit web developer. It's a huge...

    Want to relearn C, what book?

    And there is some truth to this, too. I have colleagues that did not pursue the lower level concepts and the theoretical subjects. They can write a lot of the simpler pieces of code, but occasionally they write completely non-performant code. In an extreme example, two of them were working...

    Want to relearn C, what book?

    I read this: ...and if he plans to do that, he'll need to know assembly pretty well, since he's going to need to be able to either program his devices in assembly directly, or write an LLVM backend. Besides, even if that weren't the case, it's a good idea to have written an amount of...

    Want to relearn C, what book?

    I think this is an especially important thing to keep in mind, when we consider that the thread starter said he's programming embedded systems. On weaker devices that cannot afford to be as liberal with memory or CPU power, and that might not be running comprehensive frameworks/operating systems...

    Want to relearn C, what book?

    Languages like C# and Java are cool and all (kinda), but if he's writing code for an embedded platform, C isn't a bad idea. Plus learning C just isn't a bad idea in general. Too many kids now-a-days don't understand how languages like Java work, because they never learned how to do the things...

    CSS & images/Text

    When's the last time you tried using flexbox? We track browser usage data and feature support matrixes very carefully where I work, and the OS + browser + browser version combinations that don't support the majority of flexbox (and can't be addressed with vendor prefixes) represent a...

    CSS & images/Text

    For layouts like this, you might consider using flexbox. You'll have two container divs. The container with the image should be styled to flex: 0 0 <whatever the image width is>, and the container with the text should be styled to flex: 1 1 auto. The parent of these two containers would be...

    Learning threading

    As a concrete example, one might consider taking a look at this method, then contemplating some of its possible uses. http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/thread/mutex/try_lock As they mention in the comment inside the else block, the particular resource examined wasn't available, but there could...

    Some basic Java Questions

    Yes. If we replace A with animal, B with dog, and C with pit bull, pit bulls can still do animal things, because they're still animals.

    Learning SQL

    It's a matter of understanding your customer's needs in order to properly support them. A DBA's customers are generally programmers, so to start with, they need to understand the needs they're trying to support. Additionally, I don't know how it's possible to be a good DBA without having a...
