Programmation subforum ?

[Vladadamm]

mckill2009 recently suggested the idea of having some programming classes. That could be an interesting idea (but well it's not the point of that post) but the fact is that we currently don't have a Programmation subforum.

So yeah, i'm suggesting that we add a Programmation subforum for programming.

This subforum would be dedicated to programming in general, any languages, and could be used to ask help with some code or present a program the user created, or other things related to coding.

 

[Ralle]

I think this is a good idea. The forum would be called Programming though, not Programmation .
Do you have a good idea for an icon?

there was a matrix like icon in wc3 that would be okay. It would also be nice if you actualy made it a main forum within the development section, it could also have it's own tutorial section.

 

[Statharas]

Just put the Alchemist icon or something.

 

[Rui]

I'm unsure about this being a good idea for the simple fact there aren't enough threads concerning the subject. Where would it go? The Off-topic forum is already so cluttered.

I like CRAZYRUSSIAN's icon:

 

[Statharas]

Computer Tech

 

[Ralle]

That is what I was thinking too.

 

[Orcnet]

So much for the icon idea :'(

 

[Rui]

What is it Orcnet? Don't you like CRAZYRUSSIAN's?

EDIT: I thought there was some icon hanging about with green lines, it looked digital-themed and fitting for that, perhaps you can find it on some of the old scrapped forums.

 

[BlinkBoy]

So what happened at the very end? I was very looking forward into this new forum.

 

[GhostWolf]

I suggested this a couple of years ago, nothing happened then either.

 

[eubz]

Good idea; probably the best. Do this.

 

[mckill2009]

Programming of what?, WC3 only or 'real' languages?, if this comes then I'd like my thread http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/computer-tech-487/about-c-239076/ be included in that forum ...

 

[Ralle]

Which language thread prefixes would you like for this? I think we should start with 10 at most.

 

[Vladadamm]

Hmm, imo, we should go for the most populars. So :

- C
- C++
- Java
- HTML/CSS
- PHP

Then, i don't know.

 

[Rui]

Don't bother with prefixes. They feel limiting. Just let people manually type «[Subject]».

 

[BlinkBoy]

Which language thread prefixes would you like for this? I think we should start with 10 at most.

[C/C++]
[Java]
[C#]
[ADA/Embedded Systems]
[Python/Ruby]
[HTML/CSS/JavaScript]
[Haskell/Erlang]
[Framework]
[UML/OCL/ER/SPEM]
[SQL/Database Language]
[Multiparadign Language]
[Logical Language]
[Other]

That's my list.

 

[Chaosy]

C
C#
C++
Java
html
python
(those are script languages I belive but I am not sure)
lua
ruby

other than that idk

 

[GhostWolf]

AVR C!!! Probably the most important C dialect ever!
Users oh the Hive using it: 1.
But seeing how that one person is me, it's obviously super important, so prefix.

Also these.

Or, you know, just let the subject be a subject, because its purpose is being a subject by definition.

 

[Statharas]

C
C++
C#
Java
HTML
CSS
PHP
Other


Otherwise we're going to have titles like
"omg hlpme"
"omg what is"
"script does nto complie!"
"jass wrogn?"

 

[GhostWolf]

The people who will write those subjects wont choose a prefix either.

 

[Rui]

Nooo don't use vB's prefix system please ='(

 

[Statharas]

The people who will write those subjects wont choose a prefix either.

That's why you make them mandatory.

 

[BlinkBoy]

Let's make it more simple:

Structural languages
OOP
.NET
Web oriented
Metalanguage
Functional
Logical
Multiparadign

PHP as a prefix no matter how much people use it for web development, worst language ever made for web server programming. Extremely inconsistant language that should be exterminated from existance.

That should be enough.

 

[Avex]

Even though it's Scripting, we should include things like

HTML5
CSS
and JS.

 

[Adiktuz]

I think it's better to use the languages for prefixes rather than the general programming type that they belong... XD...

 

[BlinkBoy]

You'll end up with way too many prefixes or a very elitist set. Unless there could be dual prefixes where, you pick a category and then a language.

 

[Adiktuz]

duals would be nice... I just think that having language based prefix makes it more direct rather than just relying on the type...

"Simple".

 

[Rui]

Or, you know, LET PEOPLE WRITE THEIR PREFIXES ='(

 

[Statharas]

Implying they will

 

[Rui]

Implying they have the choice. Just as an example, my "Coding Conventions" thread wouldn't fit in any category even though I wrote a Java example. Thus my thread would have an unfitting or misleading prefix. Therefore, you decide that that's right because some people won't do it and therefore everyone has to. Which makes me ask: why is it that always everyone must pay because of the mistakes of some?

 

[Avex]

Can't you create a script that prompts the user to imput a Prefix related to their topic when they try and hit "Submit New Thread"?

 

[GhostWolf]

Prefixes are dumb. Tags are decent.
The difference being that you can have multiple tags to improve search results, and that users can introduce new tags (probably according to some criteria, to prevent idiotic tags).
Examples: Every question answering site.

We're talking about vB right now.

 

[GhostWolf]

Yeah, and if you can't make something good, don't put something bad instead.

 

[Ralle]

So far no thread prefixes then..

Programming

 

[Rui]

Yay +rep

By the way, would Programming go better on that Game Development category? I don't know, it looks fine on Computer Tech too, I just wanted to hear opinions.

 

[BlinkBoy]

I would say the Development category, being so deep into off-topic forum not only leaves it very hidden but alsois bad web design because of the clicks rule.

 

[Rui]

Excuse me, that's the one I was talking about. That is precisely the reason I was thinking of too.

 

[Ralle]

I think the Development category sounds like a good idea.

 

[Statharas]

Excuse me, that's the one I was talking about. That is precisely the reason I was thinking of too.

if("Development" != "Game Development")
{
Spank(2408041);
}

 

[Vladadamm]

You should add this to the rules :

- Anything regarding coding in another Game Engine-specific language (such as Unreal Script) should go here : Game Development Forum

 

[Adiktuz]

or anything regarding coding that is meant for use in game engines... because that would mean that the code is already a part of game development

 

[Rui]

The category is actually named «Development», «Game Development» is the forum. It looks good there.
