asalimpo: My Crawler searches just like NL. So when you search for something on NL, the exact result on the first page is what you get with my Crawler. You can try it |

DanielTheGeek: Thanks for the detailed review and not being biased. However, your point about my checkbox functionality is a little.... confusing. Clicking the checkbox is not supposed to execute the search. For example, when you search for something on Nairaland, on the search result page you see Topics and Images checkbox. When you click on either of them, the search does not auto start again.... you still need to type what you wanna search and click on the search Button. They are just options |

asalimpo: No to me, using something like Visual Studio would be far easier. How I would have done it: Open the page in an hidden Web browser control. Get the Dom from the control and parse it using normal JS methods. I used HTML because someone said it can be dont by only Magic... I've forgotten |

FincoApps: No, it shouldn't be like that, remember that Nairaland's search system is not a good example of how "A" level search engines should work. Searching and switching should be instant and produce instant results, people love Google for this..when the Stack overflow radio button is clicked, results should start pouring in...what's the use of ajax call (I'm not sure what you used tho) when you still have to wait and push enter key before searching, it has to be instant even as the user switches to a different source. This is all about user-experience and does not really affect functionality in any way, I hope you learnt something tho. |

DanielTheGeek:It's never going to happen. It's just going to stay in its ow niche and thrive there. Not every app will be browser based. Not anytime soon. Besides,if it is going to take over the desktop, it will have to supplant compilers/vms with something better, which isnt happening anytime soon. |

asalimpo: I actually agree with you. Javascript would definitely grow... But it's still going to remain in it's category |
Re: Programming Competition: Search Engine Task. Rewards up for grabs. by Nobody: 5:57am On Mar 14, 2016 |
asalimpo: Bro, JavaScript can be used to program a standalone desktop app now for almost any platform, mobile, pc, linux, mac, just that there are still improvements to be made. I didn't mean JavaScript will execute the app all in the browser, or depend on the browser. In fact JavaScript will take over soon because people can now make standalone desktop apps with HTML, CSS, JavaScript with chromium and node.js there are even many more tools, I guess you've not heard of Electron or App.js..infact i have noticed some big guys in the industry moving to JavaScript native desktop apps as it helps in improving GUI without wasting time on external libraries or frameworks, besides i have used JavaScript for a game i made before and i got amazing results..instead of using C# or c++. Asalimpo, i guess you aren't familiar with JavaScript. |
Re: Programming Competition: Search Engine Task. Rewards up for grabs. by Olumyco(m): 3:30pm On Mar 14, 2016 |
DanielTheGeek: Thumbs up Even aside the desktop app movement. The birth of React Native and nativescript has further increased the power and stability of JavaScript as it can now b used to develop native mobile apps like Java. So anytime from now JavaScript might have equal or more mobile apps dan Java. Also JavaScript has spill over to embedded system (Microcontroller Applications). Using Espruino, Tessel etc one can develop apps to power robots, different electronics etc. The new niche/brand of JavaScript now is Isomorphic/Universal JavaScript |

DanielTheGeek:I have a little familiarity, but i'm not up to date. Javascript also has competition from Dart, coffeescript, etc. No, I can bet on this, javascript cannot cross over all niches. It is being too ambitious for that. If it tries to replace some niches, it will burn out - because it will simply be reinventing the wheel. On the web,it is a strong forte and growing. Many frameworks , but is oracle, and almost 25 years of work on virtual machines going to go to blazes because of js? No. Also, on the left side, is the rise of functional programming - Y is this a field to watch? fp is more mathematically pure - so it is going to lead to strong resurgence for creating bullet proof software. Javascript has some fp but already they're pure fp contenders in that arena. Anyway, let's see where the hype goes. One thing i've seen in the programming world is that, any attempt to create a standard not based on technological merit alone will always fail. So a universal language? not yet. |

Re: Programming Competition: Search Engine Task. Rewards up for grabs. by asalimpo(m): 11:28pm On Mar 15, 2016 |
DanielTheGeek:No language will rule the future . No language to date has thrived (talkless of conquering) in all niches (desktop,web-front end, web-backend, mobile) etc. Javascript may rule the web, take over the backend-thru node.js, but taking over the enterprise, the desktop, and mobile is a long shot. Not going to happen. It will shine and shine and grow in popularity, like java did in the 90s and 200s, then anoda replacement will come knock it out from all its niches. Most likely a functional replacement. 1 Like |

^^Best not to underestimate javaScript. It is ubiquitous and is still one of the best programming languages to learn (along with JAVA). Meanwhile, will still get back to the winners very shortly. |
