i read SICP, learned haskell, and have now realized that in order to get a real job i need to learn some windows programming. nobody will hire you just because you understand loeb.
That way you wouldn't have to write a GUI and wouldn't have to document it (but if you do make sure to do a shitty job of it), just like all Linux programs.
Then, other people can write tutorials about how to accomplish the most common tasks of your app. Because wirting instructions in English is way easier than writiing them in a programming lnaguage.

Code can be easily obfuscated to deter those sorts of attacks. Besides, your point is moot since native applications can be disassembled and reverse engineered, and yet See/Sepples are still widely used. There are some utilities, such as Hex-Rays for IDA [1], which are somewhat able to decompile native code into See source.

You'd be surprised. I write Scalable Enterprise Solutions in C# for my day-job.

Hex-Rays is a joke.
Yes, I have used it.
It doesn't decompile, it only makes code take a little less space, by changing parts of it from assembler to pseudo-c.
Wow, you are an idiot. Java and .Net make up the bulk of new solutions enterprises are creating. Read a fucking trade mag or website faggot.
Also, you can't decompile .Net assumblies or Java faggotry to something that is 'source accurate'. You wil get a high level language that will compile back to the program, but it won't be the same source code, it can't be.
And in Java's case, bytecode and the VM know shit about generics. So if the code uses generics the decompiled Java code would not include them.
But you go on believing absolute shit based on nothing.

>And in Java's case, bytecode and the VM know shit about generics.
Which is an important reason why Java sucks and .NET is superior.

Just use an obfuscator if you're that concerned.

Kill it with fire! Magazines are part of what's so very wrong with this business. Magazines are shit. Magazines are pig disgusting. Magazines come... straight out of Sun's website.
Except on any worthwhile interview they will ask you what you read regarding programming. Saying SCIP, 4chan, slashdot, digg, reddit etc. will not get you any points.
Read them while you shit. Even while shitting you can become and expert enterprise programmer.

I have yet to be asked that question (which I would answer with "just look at my blogroll") -- normally interviewers are too busy digging up MSFT interview logic puzzles from last century's styel of interview (like the 3 lamps, 3 switches one) to ask anything sensible.

Can I find a list of these interview ``questions'' somewhere?

What lamps? What switches?

You have 3 lamps and 3 switches connected to the lamps. Each lamp represents a different number. Lamp #1 = A, lamp #2 = B, lamp #3 = C, where A, B, C are integers (positive, zero or negative.) The 3 switches are labelled switch #1, switch #2 and switch #3, and can be turn
Suppose there is a target number called T.
Design an algorithm to find a subset of switches which, when turned on, will produce a set of lamps whose numbers add up to T.

Uh, no... it isn't. Do you even know what NP-Complete means?

Not sure if this is a troll, but >>43's algorithm will find the solution deterministically. I suspect >>44 and >>45 are the same people, and that we have been trolled constantly.

No it won't. Depending on the wording, it either never turns lamps off, or only turns one on at a time.
>>41's problem is essentially a description of the subset-sum problem, which is known to be in NP-Complete. I'm not sure why MSFT would ask that, unless they wanted to separate the CS-nerds from the IT applicants.
It is not NP-Complete. There are only 3 lamps, each with 2 possible values. We need only check 23 combinations. This problem has a constant size; the generalization reduces to subset-sum and is NP-Complete.
>>52
The question is asking for a generalized solution to the problem. In which case no such solution exists. If it's okay with you mate, I might just as you to not respond to this thread anymore, OK?

Yes it does. Simply check all 2n combinations of lamps.
Actually I'm used to say that being a good programmer doesn't mean know a lot of languages, but be able to understand any new programming language in a few days...
However there's an important thing to keep in mind: you may know a programming language, but you need to know even the platform where you are working on. So you are right.
However... programming on a Windows platform is a kind of nightmare! That's why I feel to work with java, that gives you enough abstraction to avoid the very BAD windows API.

Roma allows you to develop enterprise level Java applications with low effort following a real Domain Driven Design approach. It's a new way to conceive the application: anything is a POJO, from the GUI forms to the persistent objects. Using the Meta-Framework approach you can integrate the latest breaking technology in your application without modifying your domain and application logic because they are really decoupled. Roma provides you automatic support for every layer and aspect for your application, from dynamic web user interface and persistence, to report functionalities, portlet development and semantic technologies.

That's exactly why, ten years ago, I taught myself Java. I would write Win32 of MFC GUIs for pay, but not in my own time.

I think that learning java 10 years ago has been a sort of risk. As I heard (note: I'm a very young programmer) the very first versions of java were extremely naive and sucked a lot.
