LOGON TO www.deitel.com for more information. it will help you. e too bam.

any programmer here,pls i need good textbooks on programming java,.net,fortran.visual basic

thank u binary 4 ur adivce

lekside44:

before you can say, you need to understant a little bit of history in programming.
programming lang, strating with fortran was developed to enable the computer to be used as a reusable calculator. this makes sence since you dont have to keep swithing the computer everytime to do the same job. in those days , a lot of lang were developed, each with is distint adv and disavantages. basic became a very popular lang then because it is simple to learn and prog. many proffesional programmers normally encounter problems programming long and structured programs. thus after two two or three initial lang., the c lang was developed . it is i true structured lang and thus became very popular among proffessional programmers. most operating systems are still written in c lang. in the late 70s and earlly 80s, the object oriented method of programming became the defacto. [size=14pt]in other to still enjoy the power of c, c# was developed. it is a c progarmming lang with object oriented prog.[/size] about the early 90s, microsoft develop vb to be the graphical users interface verison of basic lang. thus continued with the popularity of basic. java was then developed i the early 90s to be a net version of c#. thus write once , use anywhere gave it taht popuparity it enjoys. vb, then stands to the challange and develope vb.net, the net version of vb. to know which is  easier depends on your knowlege of the parent lang

Cool history lesson, but was you trying to refer to C++ instead of C#?  C++ is an improved version of C in the sense that it can be OO, but C++ can also be procedural.  I am sure most would agree that C# was built by taking the efficient aspects of Java and C++; But more so from Java - the APIs are pretty similar.   

What is the question @Dr. Lorenz ?

please visit the above links for java textbooks - dont forget to leave a thank you.

anybody good in programming should call or mail me to decworld@ymail.com or +2348066258416

I am appalled by the language and tone i see here - if you are a professional or even a serious mediocre programmer you certainly wouldn't be talking like this.
Anyway going back to the question. Personally I don't think Java is harder than .NET (i.e C Sharp), it's all about what language you are acquainted to. In my experience people tend to stick with the language they used as a base for learning programming. And if you can program in Java, programming in C/J Sharp shouldn't be so much of a headache as the syntax is almost the same.

Hope this helps.

@nolongTing

The question is this: Can a code be converted to sound? I don't know if you understand, but holler back and i'll try to explain more.

Thanks.

@Ghenghis

U asked for the question, so let me here your own answer too.

Dr. Lorenz:

@Ghenghis

U asked for the question, so let me here your own answer too.

Off the top of my head I'd say yes.
I'm not very much into multimedia programming ,

but I'm aware that the information(code) is in a quantized format hence the sound also has to be quantized however sound by nature is analog ,
this is the stuff sound codecs and the likes are made.

More details please ,

HEY linxon. i see you are really loaded. would you mind being my mentor, i really need someone to learn from. i just started a packedge in software programming. and like to have someone like you help me. my email address is fingers794@yahoo.com, incase you wish too honour my request. hoping to hear from you soon.

Java is not that harder its all about getting the fundamental concepts if you don't grab that then chances are you might never know Java but .NET is probably quicker to learn but not necessarily simpler

Hey!!! Nothing is really hard. It depends on the spirit with which you approach it. Guess you now understand that .NET is just a platform and you have stuff like C#.NET, VB.NET. The choice you will make in the end really depends on what you want to do with what you are learning, cos some languages are better suited to some things than others. Find out what exactly you want to do, and find a language that is well suited to that kind of application. I write C#.NET, and I think its the best language since - man landed on the moon (my own opinion OH!!!). I have a friend who writes Java and he thinks that every other language is plain and simple English. So Make a choice. All the best.

It will probably involve writing a parser to do some mapping - a Linguist would be handy But yes by all means tell me more Dr Lorenz

@nolongTing

Looks like the more answer i get, the more confused i become. First of all, what is a parser? I've actually come across it somewhere, but can't remember. So more light on that please. And mapping? I don't think we're talking about Geography here are we?

@Ghenghis

Quantized? More confusion! . Don't get me wrong, i have a little idea of what you're talking about, but i guess the terms is what am not. Since sound by nature is analog, and code is digital, is that why sound has to be quantized? So as to convert it to digital?

@both of you

Let's put my question in another way: Can code be embedded in sound? In which case, the code will work independently and with the sound?

i need someone who is good in active x programming/ control. pls mail me at lekside44@yahoo.co.uk thanks

@Dr Lorenz, Oh that's so funny!  well, I was using some basic computer science terminology so I take it you have not studied for a cs degree  But now I can see what you mean. Well, you strike me as an inventor who is looking for answers am I wrong? I know what the answer is though.

@nolongTing

Oh really now? What do you mean av not studied for a cs degree? Am . I know a lot of thing most cs degree holders in Naija don't know . Like i said, i've come across the word before . Anyway, u say i strike you as an inventor? Hmnnn *thinking*.

I wouldn't say and inventor per say, but you could say i've got lots of ideas in my head that sometimes i just wish it'd come to reality by merely thinking it . Oh i am looking for answers surely. U said you know the answer? Please do tell i pray thee

BTW, where's Ghenghis? And you didn't answer my question. Thanks for replying me. I do look forward to another reply,

Ciao, Au revior,

Hey Dr? Keep praying for me you like to pick brains don't you  Well, its a good question but your question is quite ambiguous, so let me ask two simple counter-questions:

1. What type of sound? Music, speech? Nature? Or Any Sound?
2. What is your overall aim?  For example do you want to use sound to control something (Control System)

look forward to hearing from you

Hey! Y should i keep praying for you? Tu est malade? Perhaps you have a la tete . Pick brains? Ah, i only asked a question o. Like you said, its a good question and one you didn't give me answer for.

To answer your questions,
1. Its any sound actually, but specifically music. Y'know, like in music production. Strings, Percussion etc etc
2. I like this one, My overall aim is to create a simple program and embed it in a single sound. Chi ke na!

I think we have to talk for you to really understand. U're gonna love what i've got in mind. Anyway, tell me what you think.

Hey Dr Lorenz, Você manequim!,  Ok! oh well sound is Analogue (continuous waves) and computers are digital (discrete) so this means you will need a software/hardware solution.  You will need to interface an ADC (Analogue to Digital Converter) to the sound (input) then you can make use of the reading - output signal.  ADCs and DACs can be programmed usually in Hardware code like MIPs (very labourious) or something like that.  Some can also be programmed in C but when it comes to which one or models, I don't know. Any way that's my opinion, could be wrong, good luck!

U speak French? That's cool. Wonder how many things you know. Anyway, its like my little project is becoming quite laborious to you. I thought it was a small thing before o. I thought you could help me out here but it looks like u can't . Let me ask you a few,

1. Sound being played in a pc can't be regarded as digital?
2. Is there no simpler way of just embedding the program in the sound? It can be a software solution, since you already have the pc.

I need an answer, i know its possible, so lets work this thing out together, except of course you're no more in the mood for this challenge. I used to think programmers and software developers LIVE for challenges. Hit me back,

Ciao, au revior,

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/mac/sound/Sound-56.html

It is definitely possible @Dr Lorenz. May I ask what you want to build this for?

MIDI is a digitized format that works with instruments ,

are you thinking voice recognition or commands, its definitely possible

you'd have to have a A/D converter which might simply be a device like the microphone, digitized signals can then be made to trigger instructions.

This is all theory, though the concept works well in mobile phones that do voice dialing.

, or is it security equipment, like an alarm triggered based on auditory signals ?

Thank you for the link @Kobojunkie. Although i couldn't understand a damn word that was said lol. You see, I don't really want to build it myself considering the fact that i can't program. Perhaps you guys could do it for me . To answer your question, the idea is to program a code in a sound or perhaps set of sounds that will stop a particular action from taking place. Does that help? Let me know,

@Ghenghis
Am not thinking of voice recognition or commands, or security equipment. Rather like i explained above, it's about embedding a program in a sound to stop an action from taking place.

@Kobojunkie and Ghenghis
Let me have your email addresses please.

Ciao, au revior,

phew! what can I say? well, @Ghenghis is talking about A/D converters and @Kobojunkie provided a link to parsing sound.  I mentioned both as solutions in my previous posts, so take your pick  good luck with the project. 

Alright @nolonTing. But somehow, i don't think it will be as daunting as that. I mean using the ADC and stuff. Perhaps i should say what the project is right?

I just hope this is not about installing some spyware to steal data from user's machine when the sound is played.

Kobojunkie:

Nah, am not that kind of person. My ideas are strictly commercial and educational. So u wanna give it to me or not?

My email is my moniker at Gmail.

Okay thanks Kobojunkie, i've sent you the email.

What email did you send it to?
