 |  | | From Scott Orgera, your About Programming Editor | | | | | | | July's final edition of our programming newsletter features a potpourri of topics ranging from tutorials on how to get the size of a file in Perl and how to extract data from an image file in C#, to detailing access controls in SQL and the differences between JScript and JavaScript. | | JScript and JavaScript are two similar but different languages. Both are based on ECMAscript and so they do share a lot of their commands in common. The normal way of combining JavaScript and JScript together involves using feature sensing so that browsers will run code from the language that they understand, and ignore the code for the language that they don't understand. There is another way to accomplish this, however, and that is to provide completely separate scripts for each of the two languages READ NOW | | | | Do I need a Mac or PC to do PHP development? Do I need MySQL to do PHP? What is the best way to learn PHP? Can I get a job doing PHP? Can I make an app using PHP? Our resident PHP expert, Angela Bradley, answers these questions and more in this handy article. READ NOW | | | | Strings may be the second most useful "type" in VB.NET, with integers being the first. Because of this, there is a great deal of useful string processing built into VB.NET. The Filter function falls into this category, and this article explains it in detail. READ NOW | | | | There is a lot of theory behind a programming language like Java. You'll have to learn about the syntax of the language and how a Java application comes together. However, it's more important to remember that the Java language is there to be used. There are an almost infinite number of applications that can be built with it, and if you pick an application to build from the start it will dictate a learning path throughout the Java syntax.
