27 Ways to Learn to Program Online Whether you are looking to switch careers and become a full-time programmer, want to try to build a website or app on the side, or are just looking to round out your skill set, learning to code has certainly been something a lot of people have started to do lately. And while being a programmer might not be for everyone, there is a lot to be said about gaining a better, more educated view of how all those pixels get moved around all those screens. Before we delve into our list of learning resources sites, we wanted to share some advice from Marissa Louie, a self-taught product designer for Ness Computing. F**k it, we'll do it live! Our biggest ever edition of TNW Conference is fast approaching! Louie said that once you attain the basic skills, the best thing to do is just jump in and try to give yourself custom tasks, and build experience on your own through lots of trial and error. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

37 Tested PHP, Perl, and JavaScript Regular Expressions inShare22 A regular expression, also called regex or regexp for short, is simply a piece of code that matches a pattern. Mastering regular expressions can be a difficult chore, and if you don't need them all of the time, the syntax is tricky enough to make the task frustrating or slow as you will constantly need to use a reference sheet. In order to save you time, I've compiled a list of PHP, Perl, and JavaScript regular expressions for common use cases that have been tested and are ready to go. This isn't a regular expression tutorial or even a reference; you can think of it more as a cheatsheet for when you just need the regex but don't want to put a lot of time into relearning regular expressions. If you're looking for regex tutorials or regex resources, you can find them at the end of the page as well as some additional regex resources.

Desenvolvimento de projetos (/dev/Kico) A questão dos micro serviços ainda me acompanha. Desde a publicação do meu último post sobre o assunto venho recebendo feedback de diversas pessoas além de ter entrado em contato com tantas outras. Com a mente um pouco mais clara (ao menos espero) chegou a hora de expor minhas conclusões correntes sobre o assunto. A grande questão: é SOA? A conclusão que cheguei é quase óbvia: sim e com poucas novidades. Alguém que me influenciou fortemente este ponto foi Steve Jones em um dos seus posts (a propósito, excelente blog). O modelo de referência do OASIS é um documento bastante árido mas que lido com atenção nos fornece um sólido conceitual para entender, de fato, o que é SOA. O que é SOA? Citando o modelo de referência do OASIS, SOA seria (…) um paradigma que visa organizar e usar funcionalidades (capabilities) distribuídas que podem pertencer a distintos donos (ownership domains).

Finally, the side scroller has a real victory condition! Get Out The Polish… But, these games are stupid! If you are really interested in making games, then you need to separate your desire to create the next cutting edge, hard core game, and focus on building your ability to do so. Be proud of your games! You don’t hear people in college embarrassed about being in college because they don't have a job yet. When you have a finished product you can show, you need to accept that for what it is, not what it isn't or compare it to people with 5+ years of experience and million dollar budgets who work on games full time. I made my game, now where's my Ferrari?
