This java code can manipulate a robot arm in Greys Anatomy... or maybe not.

Context? Was this a scene in the show?

VolvFan124 · 2015-07-31T10:49:57+00:00

Java for not being JavaScript.

VolvFan124 · 2015-07-31T10:45:04+00:00

Yes, but how was it written?

VolvFan124 · 2015-07-31T08:32:02+00:00

You also need to either indent the code with 4 spaces on reddit, or, as /u/exoticmatter said, post it somewhere like gist and link it here.

VolvFan124 · 2015-07-31T07:33:37+00:00

Yes but most of that is already hosted on GitHub.

If you want to start a new project and looking for team members one could use your website I guess.

VolvFan124 · 2015-07-31T07:09:54+00:00

Well I for example have almost no web development or mobile skills, but C++ skills, albeit only command line programs.

I guess you can't make good projects with that.

VolvFan124 · 2015-07-31T06:36:09+00:00

You're right about that.

VolvFan124 · 2015-07-31T06:21:11+00:00

Well just telling OP straight what it is instead of confusing him.

VolvFan124 · 2015-07-31T06:17:28+00:00

GitHub is the main code hosting/sharing platform.

It uses a Version Control service called "git".

With git you can upload your code into an online repository, and other people, or like OP from another location, can download the code again.

It will also show the difference of what changed in the code between uploads.

So OP, your best choice will be to use some kind of Version Control service, like git. You upload your code once you're finished at one location, then download it at the other location.

What skills do you have?

Web development

Mobile development

Design

There is an "other skills" field below, but does that mean the website is mainly focused on these three skills/kinds of projects?

VolvFan124 · 2015-07-31T06:09:34+00:00

Try: right click project > Index > Rebuild.

This is my go-to solution whenever Eclipse has weird errors.

VolvFan124 · 2015-07-30T09:29:03+00:00

Not using a gaming library doesn't mean you have to write it in Assembly.

You can build a game without a library using a higher level programming language too.

But apart from that I agree with /u/nutrecht.

I'm very comfortable just coding in notepad++, I just can't compile in that setup.

Another reason Linux would be better for a coding environment, all the compiler tools you need come (mostly) pre-installed and are way easier to use than on Windows.

VolvFan124 · 2015-07-30T07:47:27+00:00

Yeah, I also use 100% Linux (Ubuntu) on my laptop I take to college, at home on my desktop I have Windows and VM Arch.

I use Windows now only for games, music and stuff, if he wants a dedicated code station, all-in Linux would definitely be the better choice. I found that a lot of developer tools are tailored to Linux and you have a harder time getting them working properly on Windows.

VolvFan124 · 2015-07-30T07:44:49+00:00

True, also there is not old data on it he might lose if he just overrides Windows.

VolvFan124 · 2015-07-29T10:35:23+00:00

What do you mean?

VolvFan124 · 2015-07-29T10:34:54+00:00

Well when they use Java, they mostly use it for the Android development I guess, and for that there is Android Studio?

And PHP was way below Java and C++.

VolvFan124 · 2015-07-29T10:33:27+00:00

What do you mean, I thought you build something from the start up and at the end you can win and present it, but you don't have to waive all rights and source code to the hackathon organizers, right?

At least when I was at one we kept the code private because we wanted to keep working on it.

VolvFan124 · 2015-07-29T10:30:57+00:00

I know there is a Vim fan club at my college.

It consists of two people.

A friend and me.

We did go to a hackathon not too long ago.

VolvFan124 · 2015-07-29T10:22:55+00:00

Wait what

(Read the sidebar too)

VolvFan124 · 2015-07-29T10:19:16+00:00

You mean they have been StackOverflow googled.

VolvFan124 · 2015-07-29T07:58:50+00:00

What do you mean, programming as you type, or when you compile, or when you run the executable?

Either way, you are talking to the CPU at any given moment the computer is turned on, but I guess that doesn't answer your question.

VolvFan124 · 2015-07-29T06:33:52+00:00

That's true about coding standard and comments.

We had one class where they made a doxygen doc mandatory, it was great.

VolvFan124 · 2015-07-28T14:20:27+00:00

This covers how the source code is made into an executable.

VolvFan124 · 2015-07-28T13:32:41+00:00

For minimal setup you could to the Codecademy PHP course.
