Question by zackz115: Good way to learn Java programming for beginner?
I am absolutely new to java programming, with no prior knowledge. I have the time, and ability to learn it. I was hoping to also learn j2me, for mobile devices. I don’t know what I need to learn to do either. Can someone please, from personal experience, post a good resource for learning java for a complete beginner? Thanks!

Answer by shobbie_dobins As far as tutorials you can check out suns web page, a good IDE for beginners to java is Eclipse, it has a lot of functionallity that will make your life easier. Also NetBeans is good if you are developing GUI apps since it has a window form builder, that is similar to Visual Studios.

Learn Java Tutorial 1.2- Introduction to Variables What’s up guys? This is my series for beginning Java Programming. You’ll learn all the basics in this series, and then we will get in to some sweet stuff like game development! In this lesson you will get somewhat familiar with variables and the basic layout of java. Nothing too detailed, so don’t get discouraged if you are somewhat confused with what is going on.

C is often termed as a middle level programming language because it combines the power of a high level languages with the flexibility of a low level languages. High level languages have lot of built-in features and facilities, which result in hight programming efficiency and productivity. Low-level language, on the other hand, are designed to give more efficient programs and better machine efficiency.
C is desinged to have a good balance both extremes. Programs written is c give relatively high machine efficiency as compared to the high level languages ( though not as good as low level languages). Similarly, C language programs provide relatively high programming efficiency as compared to the low level languages ( though not as high as those provided by high level languages). thus, C can be used for a whole range of applications with equal ease and efficiency.
There are several features which make C a very suitable language for writing system programs. These are a follows:
1. C is machine independent and highly portable language.
2. It is easy to learn as it has only as few as 32 keywords.
3. It has a comprehensive set of operators to tackle business as well as srientific applications with ease.
4. Users create their own functions and add them to the C library to perform a variety of taks.
5. C language allows manipulation of BITS, BYTES, and ADDRESS at hardware level.
6. It has a large library of functions.
7. C operates on the same data types as the computer, so the codes need very little data conversion, if at all. Therefore, codes generated are fast and efficent.
Evolution of C
By the late fifties, there were many computer languages into existence. However, none of them were general purpose. They served better in a particular type of programming application more than others. Thus, while FORTRAN was more suited for engineering programming, COBOL was better for business programming. At this stage people started thinking that instead of learning so many languages for different programming purposes, why not have single computer languages that can be used for programming any type of application.
In 1960, to this end, an international committee was constituted which came out with a language named ALGOL-60. This language could not become popular because it was too general and highly abstract.
In 1963, a modified ALGOL-60 by reducing its generality and abstractness, a new language, CPL (Combined Programming Language) was developed at Cambridge University. CPL too turned out to be very big and difficult to learn.
In 1967, Martin Richards, at Cambridge University, stripped down some of the complexities from CPL retaining useful features and created BCPL (Basic CPL). Very soon it was realized that BCPL was too specific and much too less powerful.
In 1970, Ken Thompson, at AT&T labs, developed a language known by the name B as another simplification to CPL. B, too, like its predecessors, turned out to be very specific and limited in application.
In 1972, Ritchie, at AT&T, took the best of the two BCPL and B, and developed the language C. C was truly a general purpose language, easy to learn and very powerful.
In I960, Bjarne Stroustrup, at Bell labs, took C to its next phase of evolution, by incorporating features of Object Oriented programming/reincarnating C into its new avatar C++. By and large, C remains the mother language for programming even today.
Question by Nick C: How long will it take me to learn Visual Basic?
I am currently taking a class on Computer Languages. I’m am completely new to the concept of scripting but am very interested. I work in Visual Basic about an hour or two a day. If I keep this up, how long will it generally take me to learn Visual Basic?
From long-time children?s book author Barbara J. Behm and highly acclaimed illustrator Ellen Anderson comes another wonderful collaboration?Mr. Lincoln Goes to Washington.
In this hilarious picture book, four wiener dogs learn that the president of the United States is in the process of filling his cabinet. Because dogs don?t completely understand human beings (which is understandable), they think that the president?s cabinet is where the nation?s supply of dog biscuits is kept. The dachshunds plan a cross-country journey that leads to an adventure of historic proportions!
Children, as well as adults, will be completely entertained.

About the Author/Illustrator
After many years as an editor and writer in children?s book publishing, Barbara J. Behm had to look only to her own backyard for her next book idea. There she observed her four dachshunds and all their humorous antics. Ms. Behm says she merely channels the dogs? curiosity for the world and the breed?s natural ridiculousness to develop a story. Stay tuned for more wiener dog adventures.
The author teamed with illustrator Ellen Anderson on this book as well as a previous picture book, Tears of Joy. Tears of Joy is the inspiring and uplifting story of a young girl who comes to terms with childhood sexual abuse. It is a book of hope and healing for all children and for adult survivors. The book gently educates and empowers children to prevent this pervasive abuse. Tears of Joy is available through Amazon.com.

Question by Tiola: Learn C++ ???
Where can I learn C++ online? I have tried wikibooks but that has a lot of missing stuff.
Is there any comprehensive guides that are quite easy to follow?
Best answer:
Answer by JoseMelo http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/
This (IMO) is a fairly good website, if it seems incomplete or there seems to be something missing you can always post here to see if someone can fill you in on that.
Also, since I’m a big fan of wikipedia, I’d recommend the wikiversity tutorial on C++
http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/C%2B%2B
If these aren’t any good, I’ll try to look for some other ones.
Has also on wikibooks, they have sections where people don’t add information. Every now and again there is a to do box.

The historic events of the last year, from Egypt to #Occupy to the SOPA debate, have breathed new life into the idea of open government fueled by technology. At the same time, a new spectre of new cutting edge surveillance states has arisen, where digital autocracies apply filtering, propaganda and tracking technologies to suppress speech, distort public opinion and capture or kill dissidents and protestors. In this talk on the power of platforms, Alexander B. Howard — the Government 2.0 Washington Correspondent for O’Reilly Media — talks about where the principles and technologies that built the Internet and World Wide Web are being integrated into government and society — and by whom.
