Hi, I'm new to the community. I study Graphics Design (this is my first year) but we started with Computer Science in general. I have no idea about programming and I don't get pascal at all... Can anyone help me with writing a program?

I'm supposed to create a program using Delphi7 (=> console type). There's a .txt file with a list of 4 students, the number of their grades and the list of the grades. The program should count the average of the grades for each student and then sort the names by the average, lowest to highest.

5 3 4.5 4 2.5

Elfryda Ciupaga
4
4 4 3 4.5

Gertruda Cebula

5 4 3.5


I tried to do it myself but I'm a poor programmer. Here's what I came up, but most of it is probably wrong.



program Project2;

{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}

uses
SysUtils;

const max = 20;

type

student = record end;
ave = real;
studentlist = array [1..max] of student;

var
f: text;
no, i : integer;
sum : real;
name : string;
u : studentlist;
N : 4;

begin
assign(f, 'data.txt');
reset(f);

for 1..N do
u[i];

readln (f; u) name;
readln(f, no);
sum : 0;

for i:= 1 to no do

begin
read(f, grade);
sum:= sum + grade;
end;

u.ave := sum/no;
{ TODO -oUser -cConsole Main : Insert code here }
end.


If somebody can help me I'd be really grateful. I promise to study more on the pascal in the future.

As I look for alternative employment I see a lot of wanted ads asking for a web designer who are proficient in several web-programming languages (they usually specify PHP/ASP/CGI-Perl), the use of several different databasing formats (Access, SQL of some sort, Oracle) - proficient in several different forms of design (Photoshop, Flash, Illustrator, FreeHand, Quark, etc) as well as being a master of JavaScript, XHTML, XML, DHTML, CSS and any other acronym they seem to have found on google.

To me this sounds like they are asking for a web-design team wrapped into one person. Am I crazy; or are they?

Just wondering if anyone happens to run an image gallery on their site (or any site) and if so would they be able to recommend a new program for that sort of thing. I already have two running with Minigal but with the two projects I have lined up, I just wanted to know if there are any other freeware programs out there, especially since in one case it doesn't quite fit my needs. Any links would be great.

Basically I'd like to save time on having to manually program thumbnails to images that have to come up in a pop-up window. For the other project the person does not want to be bogged down with programming so the less he has to do, the better (though I'd be the one setting it up for him).

Hi everyone, I was wondering what the best way to go to set up a community site. I'm set to inherit a local music-scene related website, or 'portal', that used to have a 'blog' of sorts on the front page with announcements from the administrator(s), a bulletin board for discussion and promotion, and a photo gallery where anyone who wanted could easily upload and display pictures they took at events. The old site was phpNuke powered and got hacked, and the old admin also simply doesn't feel like dealing with the site anymore, so it's currently on hiatus.

I was thinking wordpress perhaps? They have a new bbPress thing (from the makers of wordpress, a bulletin board that's code-light, customizable and skinnable, and standards-compliant) but I don't know what to do about a collaborative photo gallery; I think they used the coppermine in conjunction with the phpNuke before; I would like to have it so they could log in to the site once and use any of the functions.

I'm researching different options, and I'm pretty handy with webmastering, css-based design and some minor php-programming/tweaking, so that's not a problem. I would just like opinions on the best methods or open-source/cheap web-community resources.

hello again buddies. thanks for the class feedback. and now a new question:

i design websites and i create them with CSS, HTML, javascript, a little server side, a little flash, etc.
that makes me a web developer right? i don't really understand if there are formal definitions for "web designer", "web developer", or "web programmer". i'm just working on my website and i don't know if i should say "HTML and CSS programming" or "HTML and CSS development". i think development sounds better. but does development imply information architecture too? i don't always do that . . . does it make sense to say "Flash programming" and "CSS development"?

thoughts?

also, i always say i use HTML, not XHTML, when in reality i am using XHTML. does this matter?

Moderator, if this isn't allowed on this forum just let me know.

I get a lot of emails daily for various web dev and programming positions available. I found a good job, but I keep my resume up. Ya never know.

Just feel guilty constantly deleting them when I know someone may need them. Figured I'd at least post them for any coder friends that may be looking for something. I lj-cut it so it wouldn't be too obtrusive.

If these are just found to be crap, let me know and I'll stop passing them on. But some of them at least appear to have potential. They're all fresh over the past 24 hours.

To whoever is currently looking, hope these help! If it's ok, I'll send periodic digests of these if anyone finds them worthwhile.

I'm trying to update my resume with the sql server tasks I've been doing for the last 2+ yrs, but I'm really stuck on what exactly to put and how to word it.

Quick background: I've heavily programmed in and used MS Access since 1994. In many cases, I did the db design, creation, and upgrades for all tables, queries, forms, and reports. I often created the app that other people use. It took me a while to find a job where I could learn and use SQL Server. I finally found that about 2.5 years ago (there's a lot of Access programming using a tool already created at my company, with a SQL Server backend).

Could really use some input!


I'm really not performing SQL Server DBA work; the majority of the tasks I tend to perform are:
- writing and running simple select queries

- writing and running complex queries (several inner and/or left joins) to select, append (insert into), update, or create a new table from a data set using particular criteria

- processing/manipulating large data sets (1 million + records) to drill down to a smaller set that can be handled by the Access app

- incorporating CASE statements into the queries

- importing a table into SQL Server from text files, spreadsheets, or Access tables, using the Import/Export tool (a task I do only very occasionally)

Any suggestions on how I can word this in the resume?

Oh, and I can tell you as an experienced Access programmer (who started from v2, where you had to really understand Access and database concepts and normalization, no cute little wizards to help) that SQL Server really ROCKS and I prefer it. Now, to be able to use it more...

Hi there,

i'm having a problem with a site i'm working on. i'm a media student and one of our many subjects is system design, meaning we learn about java, python, php and more languages. i'm not the programmer person, and the subjects i like better in my studies are the design ones, so natuarlly i'm having major problems understanding and doing programming.



i know that i'm not the worst in it either, but with this exercise i've come to my limits. it's pretty simple. we started with making a layout using css, but then we had to add php code and a database to it so as to add new elements and edit existing ones to the database using forms.

so, the problem is a general and ususal one, meaning that there are errors in my code that i just can't find. i've gone through it a million times, asked collegues to give me their code to compare (since they didn't have time to sit down with me and help) and i've gone to message boards to ask for help (which wasen't very successful cuz they directed me to go read some basic php tutorial. i wouldn't have gone to the message board hadn't i done that already). anyway, i'm at a total loss as to what could be wrong. the zip file uploaded here contains everything of the page, even a text file of the database used that you can import into your server.

the problems i have are:

1) the 'DVD-Vols.php' file should just print out all the dvd volumes that exist of the series. beside each entry is a delete link to delete that entry from the database and a link to more detailed info on that dvd volume. the printing works out fine, but the delete link only deletes the entry of the database table that has the 'ID' '0'. the link to the detail info does not work either. i wanted use a php codeing that automatically fills in the 'ID' to it's corresponding entry in the db and passes it on, so the detail page of the dvd (DVD.php) knows which dvd volume to display.

2) on the 'DVD.php' page i want to print out only one of the table entries from the db, depending on the 'ID' the link from the previous page passes on.

3) the add and edit forms (there are two versions of each: Add-Form.php & Edit-Form.php) don't seem to work. a friend of mine told me they are correct, but when using them on my machine, nothing happens. what happens on mine regarding the add-form was the following:

i had started my table entries with an entry that i gave the 'ID' '1' to instead of '0', so when using the add form, the new entry was assigned that id. when trying to add another, the previous entry i made lost all it's 'contents'. the edit-form did not work at all.

4) in the home.html page i'm trying to add an image that moves from one side to the other, which seems to only work when first loading the page (it moves 5px to the right) but somehow the counter seems to not work, and i've got no clue why.



i know that this is a lot to ask, but i'd REALLY appreciate the help, on any of these problems.

thanks a million in advance!

Short info:
Is there a way to use a * operator in a query like so:

`SELECT newSrc.*, oldSrc.* FROM current_raw_table newSrc LEFT JOIN yesterday_raw_table oldSrc ON(newSrc.id = oldSrc.id) WHERE newSrc.* != oldSrc.*);`

to use mysql to compare two tables of data created by a `load data infile` where one table is today's and the other is yesterday. My tests with using *'s failed so plan B is to use my l33t programming skillz to generate a bunch of
`if(newSrc.{fieldName} != oldSrc.{fieldName},"fieldName") as "{fieldName}",` then wrap the whole mess with concat_ws(' ',...);

but before I use said l33t skelz, I figured it might be smart to ask before I reinvent something else.

I wrote a JavaScript/XHTML based Pong game- mostly a proof of concept. I'm going to use this as the base of a browser-based Mario Brothers clone (not SUPER Mario- I'm not going to make this damn thing scroll if I can help it). That's a long-run project though. For now, I've got some basic plumbing done. It's got some bugs, etc- but I figured that since I had a (mostly) working library, I'd post my work so far, and share out the code.

Take the game for a spin, and grab the code.
