Dear All,
This month ILUGC Meet is scheduled on Sat Aug 8th 3PM 2009. If anyone
willing to give a talk in this meet, Plz mail back to me.
A request for a talk:
I have been observing that most newbie programmers who are used to he
doze world do not know about "using the computer" from a usage
perspective. I have observed that they do a line by line analysis,
which can be done by a one or more RegEx find and replaces. They know
RegEx to some extent and they would have used it in their code, but
didn't realize that it can be used in the editors as well. This is not
restricted to just RegEx.
Consider the piece of code that reads more than 30 columns from a
database and assigns it to some variables. This could very well be
simplified by using regex/sed/ cut/ etc... or if you have some GUI
editors such as Kate, just keep using find and replace....
Would it be nice, if we can organize a talk on "improving productivity
by better utilizing the tools available", with a lot of times for
Question and Answers? Any takers? (I might not be able to attend the
session myself, due to my office timings).
with regards,
Natarajan.
