In this thread, you recommend basic computer programming books.

I honestly don't know what a programming studio is.

My level of knowledge includes HTML and basic MatLab and Maple. I also know the Ti-200 Voyager, and have 10 years of experience in programming Ti-86's.

So... umm... my computer and programming knowledge is analogous to that of an intelligent rock.

It's a lot like a word processor for programming. :)
Integrated Development Environment

"Abbreviated as IDE, a programming environment integrated into a software application that provides a GUI builder, a text or code editor, a compiler and/or interpreter and a debugger. Visual Studio, Delphi, JBuilder, FrontPage and DreamWeaver are all examples of IDEs."

"Curious to learn how to write macros, automate Office applications, or create custom applications in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook or Access? With this comprehensive guide to Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), you can master the language that underlines the Microsoft Office products."

Waaaay to specific. That, and I don't know what VBA, macros or office applications are, lol.

It's really entry level programming.

VBA = Visual Basic for Applications
macros = shortcuts used by editors included in MS Office programs, e.g. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, etc ... to save keystrokes

Probably the only programming I'll ever do. In particular Word and Excel.

SWeet, those look like what I'm looking for. Stupid Amazon not putting TOC's for those books up...



:cow:


those are pry a good start, they might get a little in-depth after a bit

So you assign, e.g., the w key to run program x, wherein you've written program x with y lines of code in language q to do n applications in program p that you're concurrently running at time t?

Okay, that kinda makes sense... :D

On that note, is anyone familar with programming/CS books that focus on logic and logic-based programming? Or is that a thing of the past?

samoth, what you want to do is go back to the roots...

first you start reading the works of Lord Byron and then, once you know what was going on with his mind, you start reading the works of her daughter, Ada Lovelace, who happens to be the first programmer of the world

:cow:

you mean like the actual processes that go on? how memory processes things and what not?
