Comment on PostgreSQL for MySQL users by Frank

>> A few other things to note: PostgreSQL only supports single quotes in queries not double quotes

PostgreSQL supports the SQL Standards, that’s why. Double quotes can be used for database objects like tables and columns:

SELECT * FROM “table” WHERE “column” = ‘value’;

This also works in Oracle, SQL Server and other databases, MySQL is the exception.

Hi Erik,

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll add this feature in the next version.

There should be a way to stop playing without having to exit. Sort of like a pause, except due to the fact that it’s live radio, you can’t really pause it. I guess turning the volume down all of the way with one key press (perhaps “space”) is what I’m looking for.

Comment on 12 New Programming Languages in 12 Months by Ben

@Leif – I’ve done a bit of C++ before (mostly with OpenGL). This list is just for new languages I want to learn.

@Java4Learners – It certainly is a lot of languges, and it’s going to be a challenge. I can’t say I’ve found it more difficult to learn “less mature” languages after working with Java in the past. I’ll keep you updated on how I find things with this challenge though!

First of all that a lots of languages on the list to grasp. Once you work on Java, working on other languages esp. when they are not mature seems difficult. What you take on this?

I love “Code Complete” and “Practice Of Programming”. I would love to see “The Art of Unix Programming” in the list.

Cheers

“the book you wish your idiot coworker had read” lol. That is so true. The first time I read Code Complete was a revelation. The good thing about this book is that once you read it, a lot of it sticks in your mind when you program. I would say that this book should be handed to every new intern who joins a software organization. It will save him or her a lot of falls.
