@No Homo

just copped a host, breh, lol. I decided to use bluehost (I'm lazy, I just picked the first host that met my needs , when I get home from work, I'll start putting shyt together. Should have some stuff up by tomorrow night or sunday

Bluehost is one alot of people go with for something like that. Just keep adding content to it. You never know might be able to make some money off it. Heres something similar(blog posts intended to teach/learn) and what it turned into. http://www.smartpassiveincome.com/my-first-online-business/

yea man, honestly, I just wanna create something that can possibly reach inner-city youth and give them something they can hopefully grasp and take an interest in. I'm thinking about giving an entire overview of how technologies interact with each other instead of just focusing on one technology. I'll probably post entire projects from backend to frontend. But if it does turn into another avenue for income, can't be mad at that

The website is called "algorithmsforcoupes.com" brehs

I'll be up and running by this weekend...also I changed my hosting...I liked arvixe better for wordpress

So I'm thinking about starting a blog or a website. My goal is to publish one article or publish one code project daily in one of the following technologies: Java, SQL, .Net technologies, Javascript, PHP, Andriod, or maybe a couple other I know. Topics will range from learning framework libraries, data structures, algorithms, creating three tier applications, database programming, desktop programming, internet networking (TCP/IP), creating small apps, etc. I've come to see that I have a talent of explaining things in a way people can understand . Right now I'm trying to see if I want to use tumblr or wordpress for my blog ...don't really have time to build my own website from the ground up with the NBA season here and the PS4 and XBOX One bout to drop...

This actually may be the first article i post...wrote it last night (I need to edit it thought)...

I read everything

 

[the bossman]

I was worried caues this thread was dead during the Summer.now that it's Fall getting colder and all the asses and titties is covered up, nikkas can focus on the grind again

work hard and get that $$$ brehs

 

[FreshFromATL]

got the site up brehs, and with a couple of posts. I had to work this morning messing around with the css, html, and php code to get it to look and function the way I wanted. I still gotta add some more stuff to it though (social media features, ect.). So far I think it has a dope look to it (minimalist magazine look) with good content

 

[kevm3]

Keep it up. I've been spending the past couple of months learning a lot about HTML, CSS and Javascript. I've been focusing on CSS the past few weeks. It's amazing what you can do with CSS

[nomoreneveragain]

Never like Java to begin with, but in Java is ArrayList type safe?

For example( C# )

Float i = 5.0f;
List <int> yaMomma = new List<int>();

yaMomma.add(i); // attempting to add a float to an int list = error nikka!

If it is or isn't , that's one thing you'd probably want to add, as it can cause bugs when you develop your own classes.


edit: ArrayList isn't type safe in C#,so everybody uses lists now. O and wordpress is pretty good. I was using it when I was blogging about my first person shooter game( before It got canceled.lol )

Yep...ArrayList is type safe in Java as it is part of Java's Generic Collection. In Java, once you declare an ArrayList of type Double, for instance...

ArrayList<Double> prices = new ArrayList<Double>();

you can add only values of type Double into that ArrayList. That was one of the things that tripped me up when I first started using C# coming from Java, I was trying to use ArrayList but in C#, ArrayList isn't really used anymore as you said because it isn't type safe.

And another difference between Java and C# is you can't add primitive/simple value types to a generic collection. So an ArrayList in Java can't be instantiated with type int, double, boolean, etc. You would get an error

You have to use Integer, Double, Boolean as generic collection only hold objects.

i want to get started breh should i start with sql essentials if not where should i start

If you trying to learn SQL, then yea, start with the essentials breh. Learn how to write SQL commands, learn how to properly construct a SQL database. Just download a MySQL database and get going. Also, SQL is a good technology to learn because EVERYTHING runs off of a database, EVERYTHING. Also check my site later, I'm currently finishing up a small application that will be using a database as its back end. I will be using some sql scripts in the application.

Yo @Soundbwoy

ths is crazy, I just peeped your sig...I've been fukking with your tumblr for a long time now

 

[FreshFromATL]

whats next java ?

yep i'm writing the base application in Java. One thing I'm really trying to figure out right now is should I just start from the basics and build from the ground up teaching shyt like what variables are, or should I continue just moving around from abstract concept to abstract concept...
