Request a Tutorial

[wtd]

Is there any topic in programming (that isn't covered by the other forums here) you've wanted to learn more about?

Here's the place to name your desires.

Well, I'll try to think of something... But, are you going to make a new forum, something like "General Programming Tutorials"? Or are you just going to post them in this forum?

How about what Object Orientation is all about?

I'd just post them here.

Asfor your request... that's a big topic, but I'll see what I can do.

Great job all around wtd. It struck me as I was going through your OOP introduction that it might be useful to create a glossary of programming terms to help some people follow your tutorials. Might be good to have it sticky so it doesn't get lost.

[wtd]

A glossary of all terms, eh? I think I'll leave that one to Wikipedia.

You've mentioned on several occaisions that command-line programming has many advantages to IDE-styled. Seeing as there are a number of people around here who've had their interests peaked by Ruby, and seeing as though Ruby can very well be used in a command-line environment, I would like to request a tutorial on just what command-line programming entails. Understand that I come from a Turing-IDE (with a sprinkling of Java) background, and don't even know what it is that IDE does wrong as compared to command-line.
So, perhaps something that introduces the mores and culture surrounding command-line, and perhaps even contrasts in to the apparent (but still mysterious) fallacies of IDE.

Something like this?

anyone here experienced with WinDbg? If so, can you please write a tutorial for it? ie expand on what the help file has to say about each command, general debugging tips and so on. thx

[Andy]

ugh.. looks like im alone.. well if nobody writes a tutorial for it by the end of the term, i'll write one based on all the things i learn

I'd actually like a section where people can put up tutrorials and stuff on programs made by Borland, such as "Borland c++" and "Delphi", and "Turbo Pascal"--ino that TP wasnt made by Borland, but its a great language, and is sorta like turing... but a lot better and neater. And Borland c++, is a little different than the MS c++, and so i thing if you want to learn Borland C++ you need to find a good tutorial for it... and so far i dont see one....

well, thats wat i'd like added to compsci...

Turbo pascal is just a poor implementation of pascal; borland C++ is just C++ with non-standard extensions; and delphi is just a category all of it's own in terms of taking a language and turning it into something completely different. And all are for the most part no longer used anywhere.

I think if people are using borland C++ then should be posting in teh C/C++ forums; and we can help them overcome any issue the borland compiler might have. As for TurboPascal and Delphi GP works fine.

Delphi is actualy greatly used world wide, and has a big online community. And i think that Borland does a much better job with programming languages than MS.

because obviously borland and VC are the only two C++ compilers avaliable

hi guys.I need urgently to make this code(knapsack) work on limited items can you please help me:
for j:=1 to N do begin // j is the item number
for i:=1 to M do // i is the size of knapsack
if (i-size[j]>=0) then
if cost[i]<(cost[i-size[j]]+val[j]) then
begin
cost[i]:=cost[i-size[j]]+val[j];
best[i]:=j;
end;
end;
