i hate any problem that involes mapping values to to other values that's not a problem it's typing

yeah its the only disadvantage of using stored procs instead of an orm

java is probably the best lang to learn you some algorithms n' data structures because collections is pretty good.

yeah. uc berkeley put up a real good series of lectures on data structures using java

write procs in your db and call the procs from ur code. EF will let you use them as function imports which works ok but is not great.

just gonna say i followed this exact advice a few months ago and turns out shaggar was right

yeah if your business doesn't rely on your data being accurate or there at all then nosql is ok.

also if you never reasonably expect another human or service to interact with it

how bad is VBA anyway a guy I know wants me to do Something in it for his business

Workbook.Open returns a workbook, while Workbook.OpenText (to parse a delimited file as a spreadsheet for example) returns a void so good luck reliably referring to it

just one tiny lil example of how loving bad VBA is

all of the office api is horrific and using vba means you have to deal with a bad language as well.

is there a good c# lib for interacting with word docs and maybe spreadsheets without using the office api?

also, a helpful tip: telling someone to just not be so sadbrains doesn't work. i mean jfc if it were that easy it wouldn't be a problem

ui stuff is hard as gently caress. it's hard to learn. it's hard to work with. it requires you to dabble in other fields, e.g. graphic design.

and yet we do it, because it's important. it's the thing users interact with the most (duh)

so why is front-end so low on the totem pole for pay and respect?

the back end is a mysterious black box and who knows how the gently caress those needs made it work. the front end is just these buttons and boxes, it couldn't have taken more than 5 minutes to put it together
