Re: silly things you had done during programming
Anyway around 30 yrs ago we had to enter code using punch card. If there was one typing error it was very difficult to detect it.
30 years ago?????
Re: silly things you had done during programming
I noticed that too…now this thread has become funnya nd silly 
Re: silly things you had done during programming

Yes. And you got a problem with that, 2z?

Re: silly things you had done during programming
Fun times in Programming 
done millions of mistakes so far. 
SQL plays a lot 
I dislike it. Once I had to enter the data in to the table , it went wrong 5 times due to the quick typing mistakes or missing ;.
You have to be so careful in sql. STA, do you like Database?
Now it comes to Java, forgot to type // when it came to Documentation. In the beginning , did so many silly mistakes e.g missed curly braces {},terminator etc . Typed method into a method. lol
Soon, I 'll share more stories once I start Java again next month.

Re: silly things you had done during programming
DB is too easy for me, no problem in SQL at all. I think it is easiest language. I am good in all kind joins. I need to call stored proc. in data layer. I mostly do programming in middle layer. It is all about to play with objects. 
I am sure, you are good in OOP too, that is what the fundamental skill required in each programmer.
Jave and C#.Net are two similar languages, but architecturally Java is best due to platform independent code 
.Net can only wish to achieve that level, and I dont see any substantial research. .Net is hot technology at the moment.
When I was in university, I learned PASCAL as my first programming language and in second semester C++ became another official language for assignment submission, however in next few semester instructor allowed us to use C# and I adopted it. 
Re: silly things you had done during programming
I love SQL since it allows you to program in all major databases. I went from PL/SQL to TSQL to PL/pgSQL without having to learn a whole new language. I started with FoxPro and fell in love with databases.....
I have a lot of silly things that happened (read more into happened rather than done) when programming...once I plugged in the ODBC for the production database into the dev code. Luckily I found out when looking at the data and no one was logged into the dev site.
Re: silly things you had done during programming
I know it is an easy language but you get do so many mistakes in the beginning. It get’s easier once you know it.
I haven’t learned C yet but I have heard it is same as Java. It is so annoying, the first language they taught us was Java 
I wasn’t familiar with programming world at all, went through such a hard time to get on with Java straight away. And .NET is important when it comes to net applications, yeah? I would have to do a huge project next year mostly based on .NET.
You learned Pascal? How was it ? The name is so interesting,lol
Joel and STA since you both love Database, how would you define SQL in few words?
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.

Here is something on Pascal. Its an old programming language with a major pain in debugging.
Pascal is an influential imperative and procedural programming language, designed in 1968–1969 and published in 1970 by Niklaus Wirth as a small and efficient language intended to encourage good programming practices using structured programming and data structuring.

didn't use the ctrl+s feature while i was writing a program for an android app. Pakistan and it's load shedding -.-!

Which IDE are you using for that? Try auto-save....Been a life saver for me...
Re: silly things you had done during programming
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.

Hai. I'll be working with database, but don't know anything about them. Hope I learn fast, or my ass is getting fired.

designing a database and development of it are two separate things. what are they expecting from you?
