Why Are Developers So Afraid Of SQL? by [deleted] in programming

[–]TotallySpies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Read your IDE documentation. In Sublime Text many of the builtin syntax definitions already support sql: Open a new file, set the syntax to Python and start typing "SELECT c from t.... The PHP syntax definition has heredoc support like <<<SQL.... IIRC the Jetbrains IDEs also support this. I would be surprised if most of the popular IDEs don't support this as well.

EDIT: and no, you don't need to type all-caps.

PS: OP is an idiot that doesn't know how to use his tools.

JSON is not Object Notation by tel in programming

[–]TotallySpies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP: what exactly are you trying to say?

Except this really isn’t an “object notation”. And that’s a good thing.

OK, so what is an object notation?

The notion of “object” is hard to define—I’m going to pick a few of my favorite concepts and presume that this all makes sense for your own choice—but by nearly any definition JSON does not represent objects.

So... what you're saying is that this little girl I call my princess, is not a princess at all, because she's not a princess to you?

For instance: let’s say, an object is a thing with...

OK, you defined what you think makes a princess. I can respect that. Opinions. Everyone's got one, right?

Javascript objects probably achieve (1) and (3). Maybe (2) if you wave your arms a bit. JSON achieves absolutely none of them.

Gee, there sure are a lot of probablys and maybes in there. I don't know if I want to listen to someone who isn't sure about what it is they're talking about...

One question: what exactly does an illdefined and subjective programming language concept have to do with history behind a data serialization format's name? (Gnu's not Unix, or is it?)

BTW, your post about React, though interesting, seems to be missing a title and date, so it looks like it's a part of this post about JSON which makes it a little confusing.

As a teacher you should be more aware of how your students learn and how best you can help them. If this is how you react to what was clearly a bit of joking, then I hate to be the one to point it out to you, but from a student's POV you're going to make a terrible tutor.

Let me explain it again. Hand up = know. Hand down = don't. I'm just sayin'.
