| For a company trying to perfect a driverless car, would (AI) appplications for troubleshooting computer and network systems, and boosting cybersecurity be that far off? No not at all. One of the r&d projects I'm working on is exactly that, adaptive, self optimizing security profiling and correc... |

I've managed to get 64GB micro-sdxc cards working on a number of phones and tablets just by formatting them to FAT32. There's no guarantee it will work, but check out a site like xda-developers. There may already be posts confirming that they work with your devices  |

| The Unity3D game development environment is also very good. It uses C# based scripting. C# & java are good languages to learn. They are also fairly similar in structure. This. Have him get started with C#, and once he has a good understanding of the language, move onto Unity. Should he make som... |

| Guys, guys. So called computer languages are not spoken languages. In fact they are not languages at all. They are notations. ruveyn Nope. They are languages, just formal as opposed to natural languages. They are defined by a grammar, and as such have a vocabulary, syntax and semantic implications.... |

| With pseudo code you can skip the syntactical peculiarities of a programming language get express your algorithm in something more like natural language. This. I think lecturers also push it to encourage critical thinking. So many CS students rely on google or the brute force, compile-and-error app... |

| Depends on what you want to do and you can jump in, then out to some theory, then back in to coding. Python is friendly. Javascript great if you avoid a few habits (read "Javascript, the Good Parts" by D.Crockford). I found Excel VBA very convenient learning environment but the other languages have... |

| Is this theory speculating that deaf people internally visualize the gestures when concieving of something? Not a theory. It varies based on when the person became deaf, but those born deaf who have learned only sign language do in fact think in signs. Sign language is a natural language, as well. ... |
