Re: silly things you had done during programming
^^ I dont think I can explain it in a few words but there is a lot of great things that you can do with SQL and the great thing about it is that you dont have to write SQL queries from scratch you can use the GUI query builders which makes life so easier and you can make very complex queries without much effort.
Also, the power of SQL is great. Specially with stored procedures and triggers. You can make the database perform almost all front end business requirements without the front end. For examples with the triggers you can keep a log on who is doing what which helps a lot with debugging and audits.
I have done only basics of SQL yet. It 'll be interesting to work on SQL with GUI.
It is good practice to have the knowledge of SQL script. I am not DB developer, but it does not mean that I am unaware of writing sql code, sometime when application needs specific task there you need to write required stored procedure by yourself. I dont think it is big deal. it is quite easy language.
As Joel mentioned that Pascal is procedural language, and consider in early generation of programming language. It is always good idea to start with it. It is pretty classical in nature and cover all basic programming concepts like data type, arrays, pointers, function, procedures, etc etc.
C is also good language for beginners who want to learn programming.
no C is not similar to jave, but C++ and Jave are quite common in term of object oriented programming.
You need to focus on java very carefully, it is not tough but for beginner it is not good choice. again your university/instructors are in favor of it.
.Net is not for net technologies, it is just the name of platform and you can develop either desktop, web application, mobile application. etc etc.
I so feel like learning PASCAL and C now. I wish, they taught us the easiest language first. Ahaan , didn’t no about .NET much, we are going to learn net beans next month. I don’t know what it is about.
