I enjoyed reading some of the solutions here, howver the most efficient solutions are the one that runs in constant time by creating an integer array representing the decimal equivalents of ascii values in the alphabet i.e 0-127 and initialize all 128 elemetns to 0. Loop through the sentence in 0(N) time and everytime you encountered a letter l. access the L value in the array as array(l) and then increment. Some languages would convert the l to the decimal ascii equivalent if not you can easily do this yourself, time complexity for the conversion is trivial. You could use an hash table but that is overkill considering you only need space for 128 elements. The number of lines of code have nothing to do with the efficiency of the program. I think the solutions written in C would probably run the fastest being native and all

photoshop is phenomenal. You have no idea how much you can do with good imagery. DHTML is pretty cool too.

I'm thinking of creating a tutorial site for c++ and PHP because it seems there are a lot of beginners up there. This tutorial site will include assignments, examples and code documentation. Let me know if anyone is interested.

If you cant design without dreamweaver, dont design at all. Dreamweaver sites are clogged with crappy inefficient and clogged code. Anyone can move boxes around in a user frendly software environment and call themselves a professional. Dreamweaver was not designed for professionals but for people who would rather make a small home site rather than hire a pro. There are also the web developers who can't design as well as they can code. The back end might be good but a bad UI is simply disheartening and usally gives an air of unprofessionalism. My suggestion is leave UI to website designers and back end programming to web developers.

Does anyone know anything about the MODX cms. I have looked at a lot of Joomla sites and I don't like the UI designs for the most part. MODx seems to offer more freedom with the template customizarion.

Have you tried a colour palette generator to develop a good colour scheme. Reworking and working is normal for the most part. You'll know whwn its just right.

I just got CS5 and not very much has changed except for enhanced digital editing in photoshop. I dont care much for the new dreamweaver features. If you cant design without using dreamweaver. you should not be designing at all.

Some major work is needed on that site mate. Desgn is not just about colour. Learn to utilize images and textures. Also clean it up a little. Dont use tables.

Hostgator is one of the best hosting services in the world

by basics I'm assuming you know about classes, polymorphism, inheritance and exception handling, it's time to move on to data structures and algorithm analysis

ask the user to enter the amount of courses for each unit then use a for loop to allow the user enter the values

Agree with the above statements, The difference between having a computer sciene background and knowing how to program is extrememly vast, computer science teaches you how to make efficient use of resources. A lot of us can write algorithms, How many of us can identify the most efficient algorithms simply by looking at it or how many people can make efficient use of memory and implement proper memory management in the programs they write. I thought I knew how to program before going into college, I was dead wrong.

If you consider yourself sufficiently good enough as a programer to challenge yourself then this might just be the thing for you.http://www.facebook.com/careers/puzzles.php

I'm studying computer science in the United States and as far as web development goes, I am completely self thought, My work speaks for itself taught.

$700 if no no programming is involved
Even if I have to program I don't usually charge higher than that.
$ 2000 if implemented with a CMS.
$100 per hour for companies and institutions.

Dreameaver produces sluggish code, DON'T USE IT!!

As a Computer Progrmmer and web designer based in the united states, I have watched with interest as the battle between those who promote table layouts and those who prefer CSS has raged on. Tabless layouts have grown more popular and most web design professionals I know seem to be making the big switch to CSS and I wonder if that is the case with the nigerian web design industry. I for one always design my sites using tables but I reproduce the same design using CSS just because I know it will be the standard professionals have to conform to in the coming years

Only one guaranteed way mate coming from a blogger and web developer with three years of experience.
