Trium918 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Is the internet getting boring or is it just me? There isn't a Web site with that excitement anymore. Myspace is getting boring and so is facebook. Youtube is ok but the same video is getting old fast. Yahoo has been the same , no changes. Google, well, I just use it for research, so is the Internet getting boring or it just me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trium918 Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share Posted October 2, 2007 It's you, You're looking in the wrong places Guide me! Where should I be looking? I enjoy PHP for instance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilis_money Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 If you haven't mastered PHP then it is you. If you want excitement migrate to JAVA technologies specially WAP technologies. That will make your brain tickle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will make your brain tickle. No, I enjoy writing code but I am looking for new ideas. I am trying to be more creative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~n[EO]n~ Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Then you must make something new something Creative, what about a cool framework for "PHP" or a cool editor for PHP better then the other and make it open source ... LOL ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neylitalo Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 I'm in need of a good GTK+ browser that doesn't use any mozilla libraries - I'll gladly test any solutions you may create. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelmanronald06 Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 I'm working on creating a programming langauge using the PHP Engine since PHP can be a stand-alone engine I dont' know if this is possible yet, but it makes for great research.

roopurt18 Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 I'm working on creating a programming langauge using the PHP Engine since PHP can be a stand-alone engine Smiley I dont' know if this is possible yet, but it makes for great research. In order to create a programming language you must do (at least) the following (I'm a bit rusty so there might be more): * Develop a grammar; this can be done on pen & paper * Write a parser / tokenizer; this is what opens the source files and structures their contents for processing The next step depends on if you're creating an interpreted or compiled language. If an interpreted language, like PHP, you execute the instructions represented by the data structures created from parsing. If you are creating a compiled language you translate the instructions represented by the data structures from the parsing step into binary instructions for your platform and dump them into a file. This means you need to learn about that platform's expected executable file format. Most compilers, not sure about interpreters, won't go directly from parsing to executable. They'll create an intermediate source file that is basically a generic form of assembly (I think it's referred to as byte code). What this means is its cryptic like assembly (ADD, SUB, MUL, DIV, MOV, etc) and uses fake registers ($R1-$RI, $S1-$S8 as examples) but most assemblers won't be able to assemble (compile) it. The reason they do this is it helps with code optimization. As a quick example, let's say we had the following intermediary source: mov $r2, $r1 # Move $r1 into $r2 # 100 lines of source code mov $r2, $r6 # Move $r6 into $r2 Both of those mov statements assign to the same register, $r2. However, if we can determine that in the 100 lines of commented code that $r2 is never used, we can safely remove the first assignment and save ourselves an instruction. From this assembler-like intermediary code, I think most compilers will then convert into correct assembler for the target platform. Another stage of optimization will occur. During this stage instructions are re-ordered where possible to take advantage of the CPU pipeline. That's most of what I can remember when I studying this stuff in college. I can assure you, ronald, that this can all be accomplished in PHP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 If your bored and love programming, you can't really go past some of Eric S Raymonds essays. The guy is a legend in the world of open source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
