d guy see 'f' for my profile de cal me bros

hehehe.. Not his fault. That's because techy women in Naija are still rare. Browse aroung this section, you won't get to see lotta 'f's.

sinaj:
u r right sis.

so you'r a 'bro' and He is a 'sis'?!
He hasn't gotten the joke, not yet.

Tech and flaws.. Man and error are inseparable..

Your teracopy will be 'more useless' with the advent/release of windows 10. That OS is faster that 8 let alone 7.

Okay. OS10 will be released on wed.. Its a great time for we MS fan-boys..
Edge: I hope it edges past Chrome.
Claims it is faster than Chrome. Comes in handy, with the state of Naija network.
My fingers are corssed.

To be honest with u

if u've never experienced heartbreak b4 just dnt jump into blames

what d dude did wasn't d best though but sincerely speaking

things like this mk some men end up being players or even unfaithful wen it comes to women

Girls are very heartless, dey easily 4get d good times, d play, d sex and moaning, d parties u guys go together, d pet names and everything

jeez....

just recovering from a heartbreak dnt wanna go down memory lane

NB: d most painful part of this is wen u remember how ur bae moan and call u daddy fuc.k me hard

u then realize same will b given to another man u go faint

inshort mk i follow d man drink my own 100 litres of " e dey kill mosquito, e dey kill coacroach "

I need a sample.. That of a company.

we're hoping itd be as kickass as microsoft's marketers say it will be! which might actually be the long waited and much needed gamechanger... otherwise, that release might actually herald the final nail on the software giant's coffin! (the purchase of nokia was not the smartest of moves as the former ceo would tell you!) lets wish bill and his gang the best of luck.

If windows 10 don't do well, it won't actually be the end of windows OS; they run the gaming industry and that's a plus for'em.
With cool user interface, death of IE and great security feature, the 10 OS might just do the magic.
Besides, microsoft saw sales of none-windows products rise high and with the introduction of features like Cortana and new gadgets et al, MS is very likely to get back 'vote of confidence'.
On the preview, windows 10 looks like 7 and 8 combined, so we think we'r good. Personaly, I just hope the final release is a lot faster especially in file transfer and does not put so much burden on hardware.

When Intel releases different versions of the core-M processor, I'l get a DELL windows 10 toy.

solodox:
bro citing exploits for a single year does not make for good research material!

see: https//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/computer_virus

okay, I get you now. For the records windows's got more bugs, agreed. Currently, it's the champion.
Let's see what windows 10 has got to offer.

solodox:
yup you can say that about the windows phone buh we all know that its due in part to the fact that developers target platforms that are widely used as opposed to a still growing mobile community, even on the pc front microsoft windows has more bugs than other oss out there!,

windows OS has more bugs than others out there? Nah, as at 2014.
Its Mac OS..

Hmn, let us use event listeners then:



For those looking for book, please follow recommendations of blueyedgeek - he is more current than I. . . . .I am relic of an old age

i think i have to go deep on JS..
Thanks.

dhtml18:
^^^This dude is turning into the jscript geek: @op, this is an example of what he is talking about:
notice that the onclick event is added before the html code. This method is a shortcut and has its own limitations though. . . .but the code works crossbrowser i should think, but it is still a bit old-school.

oshey!
Okay, you gave a shortcut and I don't like learning starting wiith shortcuts, nah!
Show me the 'professional' way, I beg thee. Thank you..

blueyedgeek:
By tying your event listeners to your html, you've basically locked it to that page that it appears on and it can't be re-used. If you decided to change the name of your function, you would change it both in the javascript and the html.

There's a software principle known as separation of concern and it posits that the layers that make up a web page should be kept separate from each other. Keep html as html, css as css and javascript as javascript, heck even your server side stuff should be on it's own as well. You just have to write your code in such a way that it allows all parts to interact without getting in each others way.

Use html to link to your css file, also use html to link to your javascript files and use those files to connect with the html using hooks from the html.

Things like class names, ids, data-attributes are there for your usage.

oshey!
I get what you mean now.. Thanks.

blueyedgeek:
Sorry, I wasn't able to reply earlier. Search for proffesional javascript for web developers. It's for both beginners and experts alike and it's the most understandable and comprehensive book I've come across.

thanks.. You wrote about not using event listeners as attributes. Discuss.

basbone:
To each, according to his own. For each, according to his love.

Programming to some extreme is a religion. Whether you were born into a particular language via university courses or via non-formal way; if you feel comfortable with it, then stick to it and be the best in it!! As for C++ or C#, both of them are modern, elegant languages: they both are easy to understand, yet hard to learn - it depends on your brain.

true that.. So, you'r a god a which code?

basbone:
alrite.....let me add mine......


C++ is a crazy language for crazy dudes. If u want to learn real programming...... i mean blackbelt console programming, then C++ gives u that easily. But going GUI with C++ is like learning how to shoot a pistol, and then going to get an AK47 to do practicals.................




C#.......

Learning C# with Visual Studio will help u create apps with ease, develop a large scale project in a matter of weeks, and be the little geek youve wanted to be in no time, but mind you! It will certainly make u a quack programmer!!! Believe it or not. Just drop that Visual Studio and pick something like SharpDevelop or MonoDevelop to develop say, a database app or ASP.NET web app, and u will find out that u have not really learned C#!!

i like this. But honestly, there have bn arguments about which is superior with many tagging c# to be modern and more OO like java.. C++ has grown over the years and now seems different from C..
Which would you prefer and which do you think is harder to learn?

I can't wait..!

dhtml18:
The Speak JavaScript book is really good and I shall recommend it for anymore. Skimming through it at hyperspeed, I am already on page 65 and I have learnt a good number of lessons already - some things I have encountered before but did not really understand until now.

The most important one being working in Strict mode, until now I have only been able to work in sloppy mode - but struggle greatly when in strict mode. While you might think this is not important, but when you are editing a code that is already in strict mode, you will really sweat.

After getting to page 160 or so, I have already learnt quite a lot of new things in JavaScript. That now made me understand what they meant at the begining of the book when the author said:

So based on this - I can see that I fall into the category of JavaScript programmers who want to deepen their skills. This book is not for pure beginners who just want to learn JavaScript (without a background knowledge of at least one OOP language e.g. JAVA) - because there are so many things there that are useless to a beginner who just want to get started with JavaScript.

that's great.

dhtml18:
this land is not for sale

hahaha

Y'all OOP prgrammers, what is the difference between these coding languages from an experience programmer POV? Please do well in explaining better than google would.
Let the arguments and counter arguments roll in.

Well simplistically, c++ is the extention c right? And c# a high-level. Most OS are built with c++
c# is common in buiding enterprise and internal software. C++ is common for commercial.

Let th arguments flow..

dhtml18:
I am sure my javaScript is outdated, I shall look for a recent book to brush myself up.

so you'v been doing JS for 15 years? Interesting. Any other language thou knowest?

Jregz:
speaking Javascript

that's just it? I google 'speaking Javascript'?

[quote author=blueyedgeek post=35573312][/quote]recommend any comprehensive book on javascript I can read out?

dhtml18:
You are most welcome. . . .

i am even thinking of javascript full time now self.
Which comprehensive book do you recommend?

blueyedgeek:
@op, adding event listeners as html attributes is considered bad practice. Ever heard about separation of concerns?

i ain't no javascript geek, nah. I wanna mess with sql/MS Access and I'm using the browser to test RegEXs.. Care to explain to me better?

dhtml18:
If you type in "regex" as the working text, it will match. . . . . . .this is because you have a logical error on line 8


. . .which i have altered below to eval('var regexRE= /'+regex+'/g;');
plus i also removed the nairaland smiles

So in essence, the proper working code should be:

thanks, I got it now..

All brackets are closed.. Ignore those that appears unclosed. NL did that..

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[

function validate() {
var regex= document.getElementById("regex".value;
var text= document.getElementById("text".value;

var regexRE= /regex/;

if (text.match(regexRE)) {
alert("Hallelujah, it matches!";
} else {
alert("it doesn't match, check your code son!";
} //end if
} //end function

//]]>
</script>
</head>

<body>

<form action="">
<fieldset>

<label>regex</label>
<input type="text"id="regex"/>

<label>Working text</label>
<input type="text"id="text"/>

<button type="button" onclick="validate()">Validate</button>

</fieldset>
</form>

this code is suppose to validate text input against the regex entered in the regex field. but it keeps alerting "it doesnt't match... ..." even when i intentionally enter a match. what could b wrong?

Is it my PC or the code? I even tried using different editors.

The kingdom of God is really at hand!

obinoral1179, una two don carry am come here again abi? Make una park well joh. I dey #beef

obinoral1179:
I received a call from my Girlfriend explaining how she and her boss was scam. The boss asked her to change some dollars to Naira in the bank,which she did dutifully, fortunately the boss met her in bank after she has concluded the transaction and they both left the banking hall together,on their way out they met a woman who asked them for a lift and being a good Nigerian the boss gave the woman a lift but on their way the so called lady started asking the man for money and the man refused but after much pressure from the woman he gave the woman a #500 note, the woman collected the money and still ask for more saying the man is more than that and she knows they are just coming from the bank, the boss then asked this my girlfriend to give the woman #1000 note and collected the #500 from her this she did and the woman later told my Girlfriend that she should make sure she put the money she return to her,which was the #500 note inside the brown envelope containing the remaining money, this she did and not quite long the lady alighted from the car and they continue their journey,but on the way the boss saw an LG product he has been looking for and he decide to purchased it using the money he got from the bank,but he received the shock of his life as the over THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND has turn to the most lower denomination in our country which is #5 and #10. According to what she told me, the boss fainted at the spot and as am writing this now he is still in shock and he is hospitalised.
Is there anybody who has experienced this before and how can people detect this people that took scamming as their job.
