Re: Social Network
In that case you may want to at least put a blurb on the main screen to the effect of this works with iPhone, iPod, etc.

Re: Social Network
I don't mean this to be mean, but I think you may lose out on users by limiting it to chrome and firefox browsers. WIndows users have IE out of the box and many people are too lazy to try to install a new browser (aka chrome or firefox.) Also you are cutting out many iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch use...

Code samples for Job interviews
I have a recruiter that is in the process of scheduling an interview and he told me that I need to have a code sample ready. Seeing as I have not had to do this before has anyone ever been in a situation where you've either had to submit a code sample or better yet asked a candidate to bring on in f...

Re: Compiler overhead ?
So compilers don't introduce new overhead they just compile the overhead that is already there in the code.

Re: Are you kidding me?
I can see where this would be beneficial if you had a 1 to 1 ratio of if..else's replacing try...catch blocks, but what if you had several if...elses that would be in a block of code where one try...catch could take care of it? Wouldn't many if..else's be more expensive than one try...catch?

Re: Are you kidding me?
So my assumption is incorrect? Its the Try...catch that actually causes that behavior instead of the actual error itself?

Re: Are you kidding me?
But let's say you have a method to do something bool erroredMethod() { bool isSuccessful = false; do something; do something; //if this causes an out of memory error(read exception) then the rest of the code doesn't execute do something; isSuccessful = true; // how can this be set then ? }

Compiler overhead ?
We've had several discussions here about various areas where overhead can creep into a program. I'd like to propose the following questions to the community. What types of overhead can you get from various compilers? Are there benefits to using Visual Studio to compile your code versus gcc or g++ ? ...

Re: Are you kidding me?
I think I get what you are saying but, it would be nice to see a snippet of code as an example.

Re: Are you kidding me?
Pardon my ignorance, but how would you gracefully handle an exception error with a simple if...else ? Wouldn't the exception cause the app to crash? The only alternative would be to identifiy every possible scenario for bad parameters and elimitate them. I'm sure I'm missing something. Maybe Falco c...

Book recommendations ?
I'm looking for books to add to my reading list and was actually leaning toward design patterns and algorithms. Any recommendations? Would it be worth while to look at anything specific to game development ?
