Since their introduction, the three development languages have taken very different journeys to the present, now finally coming to the scene as co-equals.  Much of the argument over language is centered on PHP vs. Ruby and how these two stack up against one another.  Each has advantages and disadvantages, but now with the re-emergence of Python as a popular choice (thanks mainly to Google), the head-to-head battle has become a trifecta.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.learncomputer.com/php-vs-ruby-and-the-python-phenom/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Creating “Good” Android Apps</title><link>http://www.learncomputer.com/creating-good-android-apps/?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=creating-good-android-apps</link> <comments>http://www.learncomputer.com/creating-good-android-apps/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 12 May 2013 07:17:01 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Michael Dorf</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[android]]></category> <category><![CDATA[android apps]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.learncomputer.com/?p=5788</guid> <description><![CDATA[You have heard people say it: "App X is a good app". You didn't think about it at the time, but it begs the question. What makes a good Android app? How can you determine if the app you are writing will be good or not? It seems like a subjective thing but there are some areas that all apps could focus on that would make them better. In this article, I will explore the factors that you need to consider when creating an Android application to ensure that you also end up on the list of "good" apps, instead of the other way around.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.learncomputer.com/creating-good-android-apps/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Android ActionBar Quick Tutorial</title><link>http://www.learncomputer.com/android-actionbar-tutorial/?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=android-actionbar-tutorial</link> <comments>http://www.learncomputer.com/android-actionbar-tutorial/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 08 May 2013 08:17:22 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Michael Dorf</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[android]]></category> <category><![CDATA[android tutorial]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.learncomputer.com/?p=5784</guid> <description><![CDATA[For those of you not in the loop, the ActionBar a bar located at the very top of an activity that can show the activity icon, title, and actions that can be triggered (hence its name): things like additional views, other interactive buttons, app navigation, and so on and so forth. This replaces the older Android OptionsMenu that was opened when a user pressed the hardware Option button; the ActionBar is preferable to it as it is clearly visible and shows the user what they can do and where they can do it. Read on for how to implement this in your app!]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.learncomputer.com/android-actionbar-tutorial/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Analytic Trends and Autonomy</title><link>http://www.learncomputer.com/analytic-trends-and-autonomy/?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=analytic-trends-and-autonomy</link> <comments>http://www.learncomputer.com/analytic-trends-and-autonomy/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sat, 04 May 2013 08:32:14 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Michael Dorf</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[databases]]></category> <category><![CDATA[big data]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.learncomputer.com/?p=5782</guid> <description><![CDATA[One of the emerging ideas in Big Data handling is one of merging self-learning machines with autonomous analysis to create a sort of Star Trek computer for trends analysis and event-driven architectures.  The possibilities are growing daily as technology improves and Big Data gets bigger.  It may be possible for such learning machines to eventually formulate their own hypothesis regarding the data and present new ideas to business leaders on their own or even be authorized to act on their findings automatically.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.learncomputer.com/analytic-trends-and-autonomy/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>5 Non-Technical Books Every Developer Should Read</title><link>http://www.learncomputer.com/5-non-technical-books-every-developer-should-read/?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=5-non-technical-books-every-developer-should-read</link> <comments>http://www.learncomputer.com/5-non-technical-books-every-developer-should-read/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 30 Apr 2013 06:43:13 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Michael Dorf</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[book reviews]]></category> <category><![CDATA[book review]]></category> <category><![CDATA[books]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.learncomputer.com/?p=5773</guid> <description><![CDATA[Let’s face it: we all know the books that we should be reading when it comes to technical ideas: heck, our site is full of lists of books that will help you learn everything from Hadoop to Android.
