Why does JavaScript count array lengths by the last index? The simplest reason is: because that's what the specification says to do. |

While learning is it better to use other's plugins or develop my own? The natural tendency for most programmers seems to be to write their own implementation rather than try to understand someone else's. This inclination is bad and dangerous. |

I released open source code that is useable to other programmers. How do I let them know about it? With a good description attached to the project, Google will bring you eyeballs. That's not too difficult. The hard part is turn them into users, and jgauffin's advice is sound. |

Do I have to learn html and javascript to create web applications? It's like asking "do I need to know Java to write Android apps" or "do I need to learn Objective-C to write iOS apps" - you can avoid it, but not writing native code will hurt you. |

How can I explain object-oriented programming to someone who's only coded in Fortran 77? Fixed a few spelling issues, attempted to clean up some of the sentences while keeping the meaning as close to the original as possible. |

What statements and approaches should I avoid when learning functional programming? I'm afraid this question might be a bit too open-ended for this site, but in any case, I would recommend reading this post by the ever-brilliant John Carmack: altdevblogaday.com/2012/04/26/functional-programming-in-c |

Better way to search for text in two columns @David: what, seriously? MyISAM's fulltext indexing is pretty horrible. I'm hoping that InnoDB's implementation turns out to be reasonable, though blogs.innodb.com/wp/2011/12/… |

De-facto standards for customer information record Man, I wish there was any sort of consistency in this area. I've imported customer databases from a good number of systems, and they're all over the map. |
