Q: I have a small limit on the storage space on my website. I embedded a widget that plays music I make. I can upload up to a lot of music (10 GB) into the widget, which is basically an infinite amount of storage for me.

If I want to get into mainframe programming is COBOL the way to go? 

by thorntont on July 20, 2010

Q: I am currently working in the non-profit world and manage a database program for client data. I have a Masters and Bachelor’s in social services. I would like to get into the programming field, primarily mainframe programming and have been told that COBOL is the language to learn. Any advice on how to start? It’s hard to find affordable classes in COBOL. What would be optimal is to find a company that would be willing to hire and train. Are there many of these out there? Where should I look. Are recruiters worth the effort? Any advice is appreciated.

 
 

What are the requirements for being a tech professional? 

by mattw on July 6, 2010

Q: Big tech Global question .. feel free to “get crazy on this question” — by that I mean if you want to write a 2 million word essay, then that is fine as long as you are giving me good info in the process.

I am seriously thinking of changing my profession. I know that the tech field is booming and the jobs there (many of them) have a nice yearly pay attached to them.

I am a total know nothing, newbie to the tech field. Think of me as a man from the 1920s who has just awoken to our crazy high tech world year 2010.

1. How difficult is it to “be proficient” in the tech field ? Tech field is way too broad, I am looking at possible web design, software engineering, information tech, or database administrator .. I am sure that each of these has a ton of info — feel free to write away.

2. How proficient at math do you have to be? I am OK at math .. do not know how I would do in some difficult college math courses b/c I have never taken them. I have a BA in Political Science.

2B. Must you be exceptional at math in order to enter the tech field ?? explain.

3. I am terribly intimidated by all the acronyms and the systems etc.. How complex is this stuff? Let me put it this way — Is it a case where once you get into “the tech field” all this crazy stuff isnt all that complicated ?? Or is it a case where even those who are into the field many times get confused themselves ??

4.
Complete the sentence.. The software engineering field or database admin / systems analysts / field etc.. is NOT too complex b/c ….

Complete this sentence. The tech field is really an elitist type of field, unless you are a mini genius who has a degree from MIT you might as well forget it b/c …

 
 

How do I update a div using ajax? 

by iekske on May 5, 2010

Q: In the <head> of my HTML file, I have included 3 JavaScript files:

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”/cufon/cufon-yui.js”></script>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”/cufon/cufon-config.js”></script>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”/cufon/Effloresce_400-Effloresce_700.font.js”></script>

I’m working with ajax: not a complete page refresh, only a refresh of a <div> content.

When the refresh happens, I need the js files to change my font! The js should be in here too:

this.menu = function() {
var divID = “scroll”;
if (typeof(arguments[0])!=’undefined’)
divID = arguments[0];

var pAjax = new Ajax();
pHTTPRequest = pAjax.Init();
pHTTPRequest.onreadystatechange=function() {
if (pHTTPRequest.readyState==1) {
//document.getElementById(divID).innerHTML = “Aan het laden”;
}
if (pHTTPRequest.readyState==4) {
document.getElementById(divID).innerHTML = pHTTPRequest.responseText;
}
}

var strParams = “type=menu&menu_id=”+arguments[1]+”&link=”+arguments[2];
pHTTPRequest.open(‘POST’, ‘/include/ajax.php’, true);
pHTTPRequest.setRequestHeader(‘Content-Type’, ‘application/x-www-form-urlencoded’);
pHTTPRequest.setRequestHeader(‘Connection’, ‘close’);
pHTTPRequest.send(strParams);

}

But how?!
