good job spending all your time targeting one platform when you could just as easily target android, iOS, windows, mac, etc.. all at once

I love with 0mq you can start with inter-thread sockets, move to inter-process, then cross-network with only a configuration change. That's putting power into operations hands.

I'm using 0mq in a hedge fund project to distribute big data queries, it gives a nice simple low learning curve API which is a nice change after looking at many other APIs in the industry.

this is where the tight coupling happens - without a common message format, it is hard to build reusable middleware. without self descriptive messages, it is hard to build loosely coupled components.

MrMoo posted:

Caches, compression, filtering, are all value added functionality that big message middleware provides. Not everyone wants a 600MB minimal MQ install (IBM), and the technologies are rapidly changing with many different choices.

zero to app in like 5 hours



(thx for the api elgruntox)

poo poo is easy. the hardest part was configuring xcode to use an external library, which was a p huge pain.

i mean i won't pretend i like "know" objective-c now, but it wasn't like it was really difficult to get the hang of. still kinda figuring out some parts of the syntax and the whole delegates thing which seems to be kinda key, but its fun

now i just need $100 to run the app on my phone :s

you can get http proxies that do all that for free and way less than 600mb

Joyent will even lease you one

Change the ui. You used MVC right

Neither ZMQ nor HTTP has a defined payload format, what makes them different?

abraham linksys posted:

if by mvc you mean "shoved everything into viewcontroller.m" sure

i don't really know any sort of architectural poo poo for this; i just designed my interface w the builder and did the connect to outlet thing and put some extra UI code in viewcontroller.m to better style it (what you can't make fuckin rounded corners in interface builder??? weird apple!!)

i dunno i mean i have like a single extra class for each entry that restkit binds the API data to is that "MVC" enough for you


i dont think apple would allow it there's some real horrible quotes in this

srs q why dont you do some interesting programming cos that thing looks like a shitload of crap around whats essentially grab data from url + display on screen. i mean its not even an interesting problem from a architectural pov if you buggered the mvc up

interesting things are hard to come up with because most of programming is boring as hell

so i'm trying to learn some java by kind of taking the code academy lessons and trying to figure them out in java. how do you do functions though? example in javascript would be

code:

var multiply = function(x,y){
	return x * y;
}
console.log(multiply(3,5);

how would i do this in java?

Apocadall posted:

yeah i wasn't really aiming to mimic the code in java, but more the idea of displaying the output of a function to the console and how i would go about doing that. seems one of the biggest things with differences in java by comparison to interpreted languages (python and javascript are interpreted, not compiled right?) is the extra words that need to be added to things like int, double, static, public, private, any of those. i get what most of them mean like the public/private having to do with whether a class can access functions from another class or that it can only be called from within a class that it's in, static is confusing though, i looked it up but i'm not really getting why it exists.

what are some of the alternatives used to static? if i had something to compare it to it would help understand what it does in relation.

Alligator posted:

it sounds like you probably need to go over oo from the ground up.

food for thought: notice now we create a class called main but never instantiate it, and yet stuff still happens.

Apocadall posted:

yeah i've been reading up on main from a few different sites (that's kind of how i've been going through this). when i come to something i don't know i'll spend time researching it from as many different locations as i can until i understand it and then poke and prod at it until it clicks as to what it does. main from what i've gathered is just the first class always called and the String [] args parameters is to allow it to store methods while it's processing?

i'm gonna poke it some more and see what happens

Milkie Galore posted:

the String[] parameter is like argv, its the array of arguments passed to your program on the command line http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/environment/cmdLineArgs.html

main is the method which is invoked (statically!) when you run your program

static methods can: call other static methods, access static properties
non-static methods can: call both static and non-static methods, access both static and non-static properties
both types of method can instantiate new objects

learn the difference between classes and objects because the idea of static is closely related

Otto Skorzeny posted:

is that really a thing

Alligator posted:

agh.

there are some languages you can sorta hack away at (perl, python) and get an understanding of, and some you need to know a little coming in otherwise you'll get lost very quickly.

dont end up writing everything inside one huge class and making everything static to get rid of those 'annoying' error messages plz.

at least read through this
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/getStarted/application/index.html

and then look at the objects and classes lecture notes here:
