Citate din cărţi
Aşa după cum menţionam în postul anterior tocmai s-a încheia o perioadă de "studiu". Aşa cum, poate mulţi işi imaginează, o carte de programare poate fi uneori chiar plictisitoare sau monotonă. Acelaşi lucru nu este valabil şi pentru cărţile care mi-au căzut în mână. Iată mai jos o listă de de fragmente extrase din cărţi de programare:
- Will it cause a compiler error? Will Daniel ever marry Francesca? Stay tuned.
[...]
the compiler complains, and we have no idea who Daniel and Francesca are. - You know, like it's OK for you to feel as though nothing makes sense, and that it isn't your fault. Or is it?
- So if you hear a programmer use that expression, you'll know that he's just too lazy to phrase it in a technically precise way. You can tell him we said that—unless he knows where we live.
- The volatile modifier may also be applied to project managers :)
- If you have a rough time with these at first, don't beat yourself up. Be positive. Repeat nice affirmations to yourself like, "I am smart enough to understand enums" and "OK, so that other guy knows enums better than I do, but I bet he can't
like me." - Broccoli IS-A Vegetable (not a very fun one, but it still counts)
- Two more rules you need to know and then we can put this topic to sleep (or put you to sleep; we always get those two confused):
- But a Person may also implement Programmer, Snowboarder, Employee, Parent, or PersonCrazyEnoughToTakeThisExam
- So grab your hardhat and a hammer, and let's do some object building
- programmers who have to maintain your code (after you win the lottery and move to Tahiti) will be grateful
- (Some people have created a game around counting how many times we use the word copy in this chapter…this copy concept is a biggie!)
- For the exam, you'll need to know the answers to all of these questions. And, as if by magic, we're actually covering those very same topics in the following sections. Pay attention.
- (We'll talk about why later, don't let us forget.)
- We thought about telling you that you'd have to memorize all these codes for the exam…but we didn't want to cause any heart attacks.
- You're an object. Get used to it. You have state, you have behavior, you have a job. (Or at least your chances of getting one will go up after passing the exam.)
- Think about it for a minute.
...
Keep thinking ... - If they're not completely clear, we'd like to take full responsibility for the confusion
- Deadlocking is bad. Don't do it.
- Well, there are ways to do that, but it's beyond what you need for the exam. You will live a longer, happier life if you JUST DON'T DO IT. Really. Would we lie?
