Programmer, right? by David K. Every 11/12/2003 01:23 PM
Human Resources people, Managers, and general users, have no idea how simple or complex computer programming is. They think that they can just throw programmers around from one task to another, then some HR people select computer programmers based on language (Syntax), and not what really matters (skills and abilities). This would be like hiring an employee based on what school they attended and not what subjects they studied! This article will give some non-programmers a better idea of what Programming is about, and what they should be looking for when hiring programmers.

Notepad++ v2.0 released

Notepad++ new release - v2.9

Notepad++ new release - v2.9 04/06/2005 08:41 PM
Notepad++ is a source editor (c/c++/java/html/xml/php/js/makefile/asp/VB/SQL/ObjC/Perl/Python/CSS.. .) written in C++ with the win32 API (without MFC strictly). The aim of Notepad++ is to offer a small and efficient binary with a totally customizable GUI. This version, which enhances the Find/Replace dialog, gives to user more control for search and replace functionality : Search/Replace in the selection zone and Search/Replace in all opened files. However, the Find in Files feature is not in this release. I need more time to do it. Here's chang log of v2.9 : 1. fix a regular expression's replace bug. 2. enhance the regular expression find/replace feature. 3. fix Search Next/Previous Bookmark without bookmark bug. 4. "Find All" not only marks, but also keeps the style now. 5. add "Replace all in selection zone" feature. 6. add "Mark all in in selection zone" feature. 7. add "Replace all in all opened document" feature. 8. add "Find all in all opened document" feature. 9. fix a minor bug of restoring window position and size from previous session. 10. Add a "clear" button to clear all marks in Find Dialog. Please go to : http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/ for the further information. Don HO

Replacing Notepad Again

Replacing Notepad Again 05/01/2004 06:09 AM

When I replaced the silly Notepad last time, I switched to SciTE.  While SciTE was good, its UI was non-standard and the single binary packaging version had some irritating problems such as config file updating.  Still it was better and it's syntax hilighting was really helpful.

Now there is a better option: Florian Balmer's Notepad2 (via Omar Shahine).

Notepad2 seems to offer everything SciTE did and without having to live with it's weird UI.  And it also comes with source code if you need to make changes.

To install, you can follow Omar's directions or do the samething I did last time.  Here is a copy with appropriate changes.

How to replace Notepad.exe on Windows XP

Windows XP has file protection so Notepad.exe will get restored if you just replace the file with renamed Notepad2.exe.  Follow these steps:

1. Download Notepad2.zip, expand and rename Notepad2.exe to Notepad.exe
2. Save a copy of the original Notepad.exe somewhere.
3. Replace Notepad.exe in following three locations (order is significant):
    
   • %WINDIR%\System32\DllCache
   • %WINDIR%\System32
   • %WINDIR%
     
     *%WINDIR% is your Windows folder (i.e. C:\Windows)
      
4. Press Cancel when a warning dialog appears.

VoodooPad "is a new kind of notepad. It's like having your own personal hypertext library, where you can jot down notes, web addresses, to-do lists... Anything on your mind. VoodooPad automatically links each page together, to form a miniature world wide web, on your desktop!"

I keep forgetting to mention it but VoodooPad is a great little application. I found that it's entirely replaced my text editor as a place where I jot down ideas and design the little pieces of software that I write in my spare time.

Do We Even Need Programmers Any More?

Do We Even Need Programmers Any More? 07/07/2004 02:47 PM
InternetNews is taking a look at the latest development tool releases from Sun and Microsoft that try to "dumb down" programming to the point that any old idiot can create applications and wonder s if coders are still necessary. The obvious answer the article reaches (and, yeah, the article includes a quote from me on this point) is that of course we'll still need real programmers. People have been promising the "programmer-less programs" for ages, and they seem to forget that designing applications isn't like designing a webpage. There's a lot more to it than just the user interface, and it's a different mode of thought. That said, however, it does seem like there is a real opportunity to expand the space of more personalized "quick and dirty" programs to solve specific needs. If people can have tools to build themselves specific programs it can expand the space, not necessarily shrink it for traditional programmers.

MS Programmers: So Like Us

MS Programmers: So Like Us 02/16/2004 02:46 PM
It turns out Microsoft's Windows programmers have to deal with the same crap as the rest of the world's programmers. Kuro5hin.org has put up a overview of the comments in the recently leaked Microsoft source code. (Some of the comments are not rated G. If you use a text-to-speech reader, cover your kids' ears. )

In the struggle to meet deadlines, I think pretty much all programmers have put in comments they might later regret, including swearwords and acerbic comments about other code or requirements. Also, any conscientious coder will put in prominent comments warning others about the trickier parts of the code. Comments like "UGLY TERRIBLE HACK" tend to indicate good code rather than bad: in bad code ugly terrible hacks are considered par for the course. It would therefore be both hypocritical and meaningless to go through the comments looking for embarrassments. But also fun, so let's go.

The overall conclusion is rather flattering towards Microsoft: a lot of good code, with the obligatory ugly hacks for compatibility with other stuff. No stolen open source, either. Better go have a look before their cease-and-desist shows up.

XML Keeps Programmers Regular

XML Keeps Programmers Regular 03/19/2003 10:24 PM
...using regular expressions, that is. In response to Tim Bray's dirty little habit of parsing XML with regular expressions, Jon Udell writes:

If the XML gods are resorting to Perl and Python hackery to shred documents, are we just spinning our wheels? I don't think so. But this is, perhaps, an unusual case. ... I can, however, make excellent use of the text stream underlying XML abstractions. So, which way to regard a document becomes a kind of Necker cube puzzle. The bad news: it's confusing. The good news: it's useful.

When the suggestion of XMLizing Blosxom templates came up a week or so ago, I (calmly) dared the proponent to install any number of Perl XML modules under Mac OS X. After all this time, it's still horrid stuff. And then there are those who, at the mercy of their ISPs, don't even have the choice of installing an XML parser.

That said, XML parsing has become a regular part of the modern programmer's nutritious breakfast. There're mouthfuls of RSS to consume, the Google Web API to Google, and the breadth and depth of the Amazon to explore. What's a happy parser-less hacker to do?

I just co-authored a book, 1/4 of which relied heavily on the availability of not only an XML parser, but a SOAP stack. Faced with the reality that more than a handful of readers wouldn't have either at their disposal, I wrote a hack sure to turn the stomach of any XML purist while turning many a hacker frown upside-down... "NoXML, Another SOAP::Lite Alternative" for the Google Web API.

XML jockeys might well want to avert their eyes for this one. What is herein suggested is something just so preposterous that it just might prove useful -- and indeed it does. NoXML is a drop-in alternative to SOAP::Lite. As its name suggests, this home-brewed module doesn't make use of an XML parser of any kind, relying instead on some dead-simple regular expressions and other bits of programmatic magic.

Elegant? Depends on your definition. Pure? As the driven beach sand. Work? You betcha!

XML Is Too Hard For Programmers

XML Is Too Hard For Programmers 03/19/2003 10:25 PM
Tim Bray: "The notion that there is an 'XML data model' is silly and unsupported by real-world evidence. The definition of XML is syntactic: the 'Infoset' is an afterthought and in any case is far indeed from being a data model specification that a programmer could work with. Empirical evidence: I can point to a handful of different popular XML-in-Java APIs each of which has its own data model and each of which works. So why would you think that there's a data model there to build a language around?"
