The general progression for a CS student(with some variation) is: Basic Programming -> Data Structures -> intermediate topics: declarative programming, software engineering, assembly -> more specialized stuff: compilers, concurrency, AI.
I'd suggest that this is a good path.
I'd also suggest you avoid php like the plague. It is a language that does not encourage good programming practice among novices. Also, it is terribly designed: you should see the best that IT has to offer, rather than the worst.
That's inline with my observation: A politician or public servant will enforce alarmist measures of a scope that is directly proportional their ignorance. I call it the mySpace effect.
They HAVE never played video games, so they will believe any old shit Jack Thompson tells them. Although, since they've been around the track, they probably know Thompson's kind.
The board of Community High School District 128 voted unanimously on Monday to require that all students participating in extracurricular activities sign a pledge agreeing that evidence of "illegal or inappropriate" behavior posted on the Internet could be grounds for disciplinary action.
The rule will take effect at the start of the next school year, officials said.
What is this educational fixation with getting students to sign shit? "Hey Timmy, we are going to extort a signature out of you. Sign here on this document you've had no input to. No? Well then can you explain to the class why you object? Speak up Timmy, nice clear voice. Well, I expect you didn't really want to play on the football team anyway."
Isn't the point that the student should voluntarily buy in to the idea? Teachers, being the little Hitler's that they are, don't seem to notice the absurdity: there is a rule requiring voluntary agreement. If you don't sign, no extracurricular activities.
The biggest issue I have with the typical liberal camp is that they seem to operate with the concept that the general population are a bunch of imbiciles that don't know what they want, and cannot take care of themselves."
It was and is overwhelming convention. When the US claimed the existence of WMD in Iraq it was understood by them and everyone that this meant some kind of substantive weapons capacity, not merely an instance of a NBC.
Yes, the term WMD can be used in another, narrower way. Just not in this context.
You asked "Need an example of WMD?" WMD in this context is universally understood to somekind of non-trivial unconventional capacity(either stockpiled or newly produced). This is everyone from Bush to mouth-breathing FOX News watchers say there were no WMD.
Michael Kay said it was most likely to be a stray since it had nothing to mark it as non=conventional. Butler said it may even have been fired and left where it fell. To suggest that this is evidence of Saddam stockpiling WMD or pursuing WMD is lame.
That's not really the analogue to the start menu, more the directory browser toolbar. My windows start menu shows me a list of programs no matter how deep in Program Files they are, readmes, weblinks to documentation etc.
The number of people I've carried through courses is probably the reason degrees are such dubious predictors. If you do have practical skills, a degree is a valuable accompaniment though.
"The classes were easy. There was no low level theory at all."
That would be because it was Information Systems. Was there low-level theory they would call it... Computer Science.
Relying on constant diligence and universal competence IS a gaping security hole. A good web environment should rely upon the fact that all people are idiots all of the time.
I'm tired of people returning that old chestnut. You CAN'T just as easily make that code insecure. Try to modify that code to make it vulnerable to an SQL injection attack. Try to post it an extra parameter. Try to make it vulnerable to a code injection attack. Is it even possible?
This is the basic difference: PHP relies upon the discrimination and knowledge of the author to be secure; it takes no responsibility for encouraging or facilitating good practice. Now, you might be a competent and security-minded person, but what happens when you make a mistake?
117 is the LOC for two examples.
The php is closer to 66 lines if you remove the array's formatting and delete commments. Of course, the python is far more secure and readable.
Now, I can see the negative view you have towards Christianity in your words, but don't assume people don't have answers to your "show-stopping" questions.
Answers involving 800 year olds? Isn't that more show-stopping than the question itself?
there weren't the risks involved that there have been ever since, since assuming Adam and Eve were genetically flawless, there wasn't really a higher risk of genetic disease.
Genetic flaws do not cause the problems associated with inbreeding, per se. These are largely the result of similar genes being combined to produce nasty combinations of homologous genes. Perfectly functional and adaptive genes can produce genetic disorders after recombination. This, in the case of A&E, is exacerbated by the fact that there are only 4 possible alleles at any particular locus.

Yeah, because what the world needs is more php.
