In the news: Java's key to success is simplicity.
Now, that's a good one!
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

It's real complicated, unlike say EVERY DAMNED WEB "LANGUAGE" OUT THERE WITH ITS MAGIC BULLSHEET UNDOCUMENTED RRR ABOUT FACE SECRETS!
Yes Node and Angular, I'm looking at you two!

Wrestling with Knockout at this very moment and yes, JavaScript is really the lowest useless bit of junk. No matter what libraries you use.
Make one small change and it all falls apart for at least 20 minutes until all browsers and caches and IDEs can once more agree upon the current status. Interpreters were useless and slow 35 years ago and they have not gotten any better by throwing browsers into the mix.

I've been having moderate success using the Komodo IDE and running the server side with nodemon [it auto restarts the session on [or near  ] any file change.
But still, JavaScript could teach Dyson how to suck.

Hi All,
I have been given a WordPress project with files and folders are there, but as being .Net developer, I am trying to find out if there is any IDE exists to open the WordPress project to edit the code or content. If yes what IDE software should i have on my machine.
2. After opening it how should i manage the Database connections etc like Web Config in ASP.Net and themes and all that coding some ideas which are specific to WordPress only.
Any code snippet, link or even suggestions also help a lot.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Abdul Aleem

Please see the information at the top of this page. Although, you could always try the Wordpress website.

this isn't really the sort of place to ask those questions - it's called 'The Lounge' because people are avoiding work .. maybe you're better off finding a different forum here on CP on which to post this

Sorry buddy as I don't have a type of forum for that I posted it here as a common question, any suggestions are welcome from my side. And thanks for your advise too.
Thanks,

How about LAMP[^] or Web Development[^] forums?
--EDIT
I see that you had already posted in the WebDev forum before posting it here. You may want to make a note that reposts are not welcome here. 
You have just been Sharapova'd.

So I'm recruiting.
Didn't get many responses (we're out in the sticks) but I was surprised how few even included a cover letter!
Personally I always do one, and usually it's informal, chatty and I try to stick a couple of jokes in there (like "I would love to work in a VB6 environment")
how about you guys, though? Cover letter / No Cover letter ?
If you do a cover letter, what do you put in it (I tend to chat about any selection criteria ("Good communicator? Of course I'm a good communicator! I'm communicating with you right now, aren't I? Is it good for you, too?")
(I don't always get the job)
I once put in a cover letter my imagined answers from a 'perfect' candidate, then followed it with:
"Well, that's what you'd like to hear. In fact, almost none of the above! But I have loads of development experience, loads of writing experience (i've been doing it since I was 5) and would really love this job, as it sounds so cool!"
It got me a phone interview with the MD, during which I discovered how much little Computer Game Companies actually pay their staff!

I suspect the lack of cover letters coincides with the rise of agencies, who are only interested in CV's.
|
|
|
|

for me, it really depends oh how I'm applying for the position - If I'm going 'direct', I'm more likely to include one - it gives me a chance to showcase more personality than may be on the cv/resume
Recruiters are not generally interested, they cant harvest them for keywords to match the brief they've been given, so I guess they find them little value

I always used a cover letter to introduce myself, which gave the recipient enough information to decide whether my CV was worth looking at. When recruiting I never considered any candidate who could not make the effort to do the same.
|

I haven't 'cold called' on a job in ages, so my usual equivalent of a cover letter is based on the initial communications that eventually result in me submitting my CV. That is, I can't remember when last submitted a CV, except to freelance auctioning sites, without first being asked.

Many companies have web forms for this stuff, some of these have upload links for letter + CV but some only have one for CV. I find the latter case highly annoying.
When applying I really like to present myself in a letter, when applying via email I normally write the letter in the mail and attach the CV.
Life is too shor

We have a webform for all applications, about 7 or 8 pages IIRC.
There is one completely free form section to sell yourself.
You cannot upload anything.

I couldn't be arsed to apply if you have your own web form

If I saw that it'd go in the trash immediately. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

If you want a cover letter I'm thinking that I'd be mad to work for a company that can't even design an application form properly!
