Alice vs Python for someone with zero experience -

-

My brother wants to learn some programming to know whether he will enjoy doing it, he is 16 years old and There is not much information about and especially knows nothing about programming.

I'm thinking of choosing Python either. I see it is often recommended to read, but this is not very small (size-wise) for a start? This is certainly not very complicated, but I'm not optimistic about my brother ... :) Can he try something else that will be small and very easy?

Besides, does anyone have any experience with Alice? I would not really like to start programming like this myself, but I can see why the visual aspect may be more attractive to some people. I am not sure how limited it is and if the time used to learn pseudo language It will not be better to learn any real language.

EDIT: Thank you for your reply. I think we will go with Python, however, as I mentioned above, is not Thing Python a little too wide for the full "novice"? Any other but easy Python programming introduction can you recommend?

The advantage of Python is that - can it be cut by a bug - a huge community and much more There are all resources for dragging and exploring.

If it does not bite by Python, then programming can be difficult to sell anyhow, so I have the advantage of starting on the logo-like, even 3D animated ones like Alice Alice definitely It can be fun, because Leah scripts can write to increase the title of the mainstream game. But in the thirties of all the hardcore programmers are now turbo pascal or even when around 16, the python has begun, and the dragon provides a modern modern technology.

c# - ListView onScroll event -

-
I am programming a simple C # application, and I need a Scallow event on the list view. So I inherited the original ListView class created in ListviewEx witch. I found out how to locate the scroll message from WinAPI and I modified the WndProc method. Now I have this WndProc: protected override zero WndProc (Ref message message) {base.WndProc (Ref I); If (m.msg == WM_VSCROLL) {onScroll (This, New EventArgs ()); }} But the problem is, I do not know how to know about scrolling information. This data should be in wParam, but there is a LOWORD macro ++ like in C in C # and I switch to find the criteria like SB_ below, SB_ENDSCROLL, SB_PAGEUP etc. there any way Need to change the LOWORD macro from C #? Or any other way to find the necessary parameters about scrolling? You can define the WParam constants as the following: Private const int WM_HSCROLL = 0x114; Private Constant WM_VSCROLL = 0x115; Private contact int SBHOZZ = 0; Private Consultant SB_VERT = 1; Private Con...

PHP - get image from byte array -

I am trying to create a back-end for my mobile application. I am sending the content of an image in the body of the HTTP request (output stream) as a byte array, I want to read this stream of bytes in PHP scripts and take back an image. Can anyone tell me how can I do this? Thank you. You can obtain the request body $ body = Reading from file_get_contents ('php: // input'); What you do with that data Depending on you, you can write the data in a file as you mentioned that this is image data, you can drop the data into the object can do. Another option is to use and load the image.

Linux Terminal Problem with Non-Canonical Terminal I/O app -

-
I have a small app written in C to run on Linux. Part of the app accepts user-input from keyboard , And it uses non-canonical terminal mode so that it can respond to each keystroke. The section of the code that accepts input is a simple task that is called repeatedly in the loop: char get_input () {char C = 0; Int res = reading (input_tamille, & amp; c, 1); If (RSS == 0) 0 returns; If (res == -1) {/ * snip error handling * /} return c; } It reads a letter from the terminal if there is no input within a given time limit, (c_cc [VTIME] value in the vocabulary structure), read () 0 And get_input () is called again It all works very well, I have recently discovered that if you run this app in a terminal window, and then the app Close the terminal window without ending, the app will not exit Received, but CPU intensive launches into an infinite loop, where the read () returns 0 without waiting continued. So how can I get out of the apple if it runs from the terminal win...
