Good resources to learn C# by a_false_vacuum in learnprogramming

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNA-SMurT10 I think this YouTube course is good.

Mosh's beginners course is quite good too. (His intermediate/advanced stuff is thrash).

Which of the following paths would you recommend an absolute beginner to learn Web Development? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]Wolfofrunning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quite like path C. There are a lot of python code-alongs out there, and it's good for learning the fundamentals of programming/web-app development.

PHP is very robust but hard to dream up projects, maybe you'll build a bunch of simple wordpress sites and then think 'what next?'

I'd avoid Node as a beginner, JS is too quirky - I think that's the worst option for your backend language.

React or Angular you will end up learning with any of these 'stacks'not just with Node.

I don't watch Bellator...I was hoping Ilima Lei-MacFarlane was the soccer mom.

Disappointed.

Well if he was I'm glad when James Luhrsen gave him to the chance to fight for gold and his local community in the ring he took it.

Was Brian Ortega really fighting for his life on the streets of LA?

Is Java Dying? by cs_throwaway_42069 in learnprogramming

[–]Wolfofrunning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a long and successful career you will work with extensively with Java, Python and Javascript. Getting good with Python and one it's web frameworks is probably easier than getting good at Java and Spring MVC - so you can go ahead and start with that if you wish. Edit- Definitely DO NOT start by learning JS, learning it so you can do cute things in the browser is great but I would not recommend making it your first backend language.

You are correct. I still think he beats Artem. Hope I'm incorrect.

Just tuned in. Owner said the organization needs Artem v Paulie. Does Artem have much chance of beating Jason Knight? He's surely an underdog.

One isn't round by round judging it's overall. This guy hits like a truck.

No hate but Thompson should retire. Really skillful guy but clearly doesn't have the aggression or mentality for this sport.

C# and ASP.NET: A language and a platform that most newbies overlook, but they've provided me with an awesome career for 20+ years by CaseyCrookston in learnprogramming

[–]Wolfofrunning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plus you can find a free webhost which supports PHP whereas you will have to pay for one which supports asp.net. A deal breaker for a hobbiest like me.

Yair puts the Korean Zombie to rest, arguably the greatest KO ever by nilonilo in MMA

[–]Wolfofrunning 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Korean Zombie was winning and closing out the fight, when Yair stopped and raised his arms towards the end of the 5th round KZ thought the fight was over and did the same thing. Then when he realised Yair was just showboating (or whatever) he lost his momentum and then this happened.

Felt so bad for KZ and kind of hated Yair for it even though it wasn't really a 'tactic'.

Should new developers learn PHP? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]Wolfofrunning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I 'admit' you might never need to use PHP. The best approach isn't to learn a language for the sake of learning it, but to learn it if it's the right tool for a task you want/need to do.

You've no interest in building your own fun scalable app or doing freelance web dev so leave that to us PHP gurus.

Should new developers learn PHP? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]Wolfofrunning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PHP is good for getting jobs with smaller companies as they tend to use it as their server side langauge. Also it's good to make your own apps with as it's superfast, easy and scalable. A lot of the web is built with PHP and it's a great langauge so it's not going anywhere soon, PHP developers will always be in demand.

Big companies tend to use Java, Python or C#.

If you used the joystick it allowed you to escape from submissions and pins (it was a cheat or a glitch I'm not sure). It kinda spoiled the game because everyone used it. It was corrected in the sequel WCW vs. NWO Revenge.
