Best book for learning SQL, for a sort of a beginner

O'Reilly books are good, in particular 'Learning SQL' as mentioned by the OP. I'm a fan of the Head First series and they happen to have a SQL book as well.

Do you use an IDE or a text editor

IDE & plugins: I use IntelliJ for Java & web development (e.g. Javascript, HTML, XML, etc). I was a fan of Netbeans prior to starting in the field, but abandoned it in favor of IntelliJ. If I couldn't use IntelliJ would probably return to Netbeans because I just can't get into Eclipse. For...

Very new to coding, what does the console.log do?

When you executed a line of code with that in it, what happened?

Recent graduate looking for advice

Think as hard about projects you did in school and maybe some of the ones you did later in your career at UW will be worth mentioning on the resume. Also maybe if you did any side projects while in school they could be mentioned. It seems like most curricula now require some kind of senior...

How many of you remember when EA was good?

Oh man back in the 8 bit era you could more often than not buy an EA title and know it was going to be good. They had the best games for the C64 & Apple. Plus for the times you would buy the games the packaging was fun.

Classic Adventure Games

Grew up playing several Scott Adams adventures on my TI 99/4A. Was blown away when I saw Zork on my friend's C64 and the parser that allowed complete sentences to be used-- Scott Adams games were 2 word commands only. IIRC Pirate Adventure came with the computer ('SAY YOHO'). I believe...

I found an interesting easter egg in some production code...

A couple years ago in a CS class we were discussing linked lists I think and there was a need to get the head pointer of the list. The professor vigorously began to write 'getHead' on the blackboard but then seemed to catch himself and named it something else without anyone else seeming to have...

How Hard Can it be ?

They do, but it's at the Bachelor's level. The OP is going into a Master's program where it is assumed you will have had all the basics like C or C++(and if you were coming from an outside field as I did you have to take several CS foundational courses e.g. data structures, operating systems, etc).

Job Interview Next Week

I should have asked before, but are the objectives of the test a single app, or 3 separate ones? Regardless, you could do a single mini-project that can at least get you immersed in concepts that sound like they're being covered on the test: 1. Create a web form that accepts some input...

Job Interview Next Week

This was the subject of a post not too long ago and certainly the OP should be careful what info he takes from w3schools. Due to the concerns about CSS, HTML, & Javascript, I recommended it as a crash course in SQL only. IIRC some of the concerns about the latter were deemed by some to be...

Job Interview Next Week

The good news is based on the technologies listed in the requirements for the test, it doesn't sound like you will need to know Java. Javascript and Java are not related, though some of the syntax is similar (sorry if you knew this already). The library at pluralsight as given by Bulldog13...

Doom4?

A lot of people complain about Doom 3, but I loved it and it scared the hell out of me. I look forward to a Doom 4, but will surely need a PC upgrade. I even recently bought Wolfenstein off Steam for a scant $5 hoping to find something that had the feel of Doom 3. I see I'll need to keep...

**OFFICIAL** Diablo 3 Thread

I've been in the beta for about 2 months I think and I've hardly played. This is in part due to playing the barbarian, which I do not find fun. I didn't want to play one of the ones I intend to when it's released so as not to ruin the surprise. Maybe it's in my head, but being this is an...
