On “Introduction to PHP 7 and MySQL 5.6”

Hi friends! I finished the second book from my PHP reading list, called “Einstieg in PHP 7 und MySQL 5.6”, Rheinwerk Computing. To make it short: Useless, no recommendation. The main problem is that the book does not now if it wants to be an introduction for beginners to learn PHP or a reference manual […]

On “Head first PHP and MySQL”

Hi friends! As the first step on my endeavour to re-learn PHP I read the book “Head first PHP and MySQL”, O’Reily. I realize that book is quite old (2009), discussing PHP version 5 and is probably missing a lot modern stuff. But it helped my get back into PHP mindset and brought back the […]

On lists and sets

You probably don’t even need to think about what Collection type to use when: If you need to preserve the order or duplicate entries, you take a List. Otherwise if order does not matter and every element should only be contained once, you’ll use a Set.Although nearly every programmer is able to explain that when […]

On Kotlin and Java

Hi, friends! I already mentioned that Kotlin is my favorite programming language. Even more, although most of my professional experience is in Java and I liked working in that language, I can bluntly say that I would never again choose to work in Java instead of Kotlin.A lot has been said on this topic by […]

On classes and objects

Hi, friends! In a job interview as a junior software developer, I once was asked to explain the difference between classes and objects. Of course, if you are a developer that question is no challenge at all, but actually there are people leaving university with a computer science related degree who have never understand object […]

One voice is coming up with interview questions, the other tries to find good answers. (It’s not required to […]

On the 10x programmer

Hi, friends! Have you ever experienced that? You hear a term for the first time that you hadn’t heard in your life before, and shortly after that you hear the same term again in a totally different context? Crazy coincidence or selective perception? In the SE-Radio Episode with Jonathan Nithingale that I already blogged about, […]
