I rode my bike to the library violating my normal rule of avoiding anything to do with humanity. When I arrived at the surrounding park, I passed a couple kissing so knew right away they were operatives paid to trick tourists into thinking kissing is still legal here. After parking the bike at the bike rack, located way out in the street to maximize theft, I walked through the libary doors past huge metal detectors. I just wanted to test read programming books because I was repeatedly duped into buying books online from astroturfed advertisements disguised as true peer to peer recommendations, which are such shit that I have to throw them away instead of resell as a service to the meme pool (plus they're engineering society so its impossible to resell stuff). Well there's no card catalogue, only a computer to look up books because that's digital and lets them track you. I typed 'programming' and ONE book came up 'the hacker crackdown'.. a book about the illegality of programming. Well the computer was shit at locating it, so I walked around the whole library just visually skimming titles until I found the programming section. About half of the whole section was filled with '_ for dummies' targeted at the intentionally dumbed down community. Walmart doesn't want informed employees. Java for dummies, c for dummies, wait, what's this, oh, 'idiots guide for _'. The huge metal detector was to prevent people from stealing this 99 cent shit that the community owns anyway through forced taxes? I got all their non-dummy books on c and skimmed them; all were typical 'hello world' for loop shit you can learn online. I got the fuck out of there, making sure not to make eye contact with any girls due to the laws, and passed back through the metal detector half expecting it to go off. Its probably not even a metal detector, probably a niggerometer or bodyscanner or scans our RFID chips secretly installed at birth or something. Or it just belches cancer at everyone for lulz. No TSA there yet. |

There's definitely a programming conspiracy. Whoever learned to program left a crapflood, designed to prevent anyone else from learning or competing. That's why they killed the searchability of the normal c language, filling all search engine results with unavoidable c++ or c#. Object orientation has been called a herding mechanism preventing people from doing too much harm. Functional programming is another huge diversion designed to mislead. They want to make sure that only they have the ability to create and wield the power of artificial general intelligence. |

i wasn't taught C at school or how to grow food, or how to harvest and filter rain water. We must be reliant on the corps. slaves that get paid. |

The theory of simulated realty as hypothesized in the Hollywood movie the matrix has left you susceptible to the programming of warner bros studio's. I recommend a near death experience in an effort to reverse engineer your strange way of looking at the universe. This is all. |

During a recent first class flight across the greatest nation in the world I read several chapters of Steve Jobs. The author goes in to great detail explaining the media conspiracy that created the ipod, itunes, ipad trinity I found the sections dealing with the advertising genius behind of the itune silhouettes fascinating. In fact jobs had only an anecdotal role in the technical and early creation of the great trinity. However his narcissistic personality disorder had much to do with the vision that lead to it's success. |

my local library is now full of fisher price computers, 'celebrity' 'auto' biographies, and books on diets and astrology. and they leave the lights off to save on electricity. oh well if u want to learn C or do anything with it (inc objC, C++) get Kernighan&Ritchie |

wMw this is pretty good for learning C: A couple caveats: One of the last lessons uses #defines in a hack-ish way to make on 'object' system...you can pretty much ignore that. And it seems this guy hasn't read the ISO C standard cause you aren't supposed to use names with a leading _underscore. But otherwise it is pretty helpful. C is fine if you're limited by compiler availability (or you're writing an OS kernel), but C++ is just so much more convenient for a lot of reasons (operator&function overloading, namespaces, etc.) It's kind of light on the Linux stuff too so I've been writing a guide more focused on the Unix side of things: |

I once walked into a library, and it was just a small warehouse full of rusty swords, feces, and asbestos. |

Libraries are awesome. ...except when I played chess at one regularly, it always smelt of unbathed human stench. But I am happy that some homeless bother to read and self educate. |

I mean, listen to this SOPA-made-illegal-to-paste copyrighted paragraph from code complete 2: "The irony of the shift in focus away from construction is that construction is the only activity that's guaranteed to be done. Requirements can be assumed rather than developed; architecture can be shortchanged rather than designed; and testing can be abbreviated or skipped rather than fully planned and executed. But if there's going to be a program, there has to be construction, and that makes construction a uniquely fruitful area in which to improve development practices" Did you learn anything from that? I sure didn't, what an impossible to process fluff of paragraphlessness. Does it even use semicolons correctly? This paragraph is in the 'preface', some academic annoying ritual of bloat, mostly a sales pitch for people who read the first pages in a book store. They keep saying 'this book is gonna do _', 'this book is gonna do _'. WELL DO IT THEN! You biteless bark of narcissistic self hype! So many other books claimed this anyway and they didn't do shit. Probably all the individual words are copyrighted too. Can I use the word 'done' anymore? Honey the dinner is ddd-- I MEAN ITS DUFFUNAJINK, not that OTHER word. And with NDAA they can torture you for using the word done if they want. You can only use words from the newspeak dictionary now. |

Most of the agile manifestos read in a similar way. When proceeding with construction request that the homeowner begin sketching out the "blueprint" as the foundation is poured. Discourage the homeowner from defining the structure of the home but rather encourage an iterative process where the type of nails and concrete formulas are decided upon by the homeowner as work progresses. Continue this process until the home has fifty rooms and and is structurally unstable. |

Looking at the website for that book (and the paragraph you quoted) I would not recommend it for a beginner. He's talking about a solution without really stating the problem that I can see which is that part of what makes writing a complex program hard is memory management. You have the issues of 1) memory leaks ie forgetting you are holding on to memory 2) access violations ie accessing memory in one place after you have already freed that memory. I think what he's trying to get at is that when you create your 'object' the only time you are guaranteed to execute code that does something with it, is during 'construction', that is the special function that is defined in languages like C++ (and I assume Java). (Since in C++ you can have more than one constructor for the same type, I'm wondering if he advocates not using this feature of overloaded constructors). I was recently looking to 'normalize' my habits and after a while I found '' to be the best resource (and it has Stroustrup's approval). |

I think in that paragraph he's speaking broadly - when he says construction he just means the construction of code, which is the only real necessity in a program vs the other things he lists (user requirements, testing, etc) and so should be the target for improvement. It just seems like a bit of scene setting for the book. |

You mite be rite but I think he's talking about actual 'constructors' |
