c# - Is the Windows dev environment worth the cost? -

-

I've recently taken steps for Windows development from Linux development. And as much as I'm a Linux enthusiast, I have to say - C # is a beautiful language, Visual Studio is great, and now when I bought myself, my wrist has hurt a lot using the mouse.

But there is one thing that I can not get past: costs. Windows 7, Visual Studio, SQL Server, Expression Blend, VEME, Telec, MSDN - We are talking about thousands of developers for each project! You are definitely doing something for your money - my question is, what is its value? [Every developer does not need all the above-mentioned devices - but have you ever heard of someone writing a C # code without a studio? I have paid without having to pay any development tool to Linux software on huge software projects.]

Now, obviously, if you already have a Windows shop, then it's all developed doer. And if you want to develop the Windows desktop app, then you can not do this in Linux. But if you were starting a new web application project and you can hire developers, what you want, then whatever language you are specializing in, still do you still have to use Windows as your development platform Can you choose? And if so, why?

UPDATE: I did not intend to start any argument. And I received some valuable insight from replies / comments:

  1. The cost of setting up a Dev environment in Windows is not that big.
  2. Dev environment is actually just one drop in the bucket compared to the cost of developers (though it does not help a small startup or freelance programmer).

The tool's price is smaller than you own developers Spend on. For example, most of the equipment you mentioned includes, which runs approximately $ 800 / year.

The real question is whether you get any benefit from that cost or not. It's hard to answer, and I suspect that your developers are dependent on what kind of software you are developing, like answering a blanket is impossible, however, noticeable difference between the two from the employer's point of view is.

windows - Heroku throws SQLITE3 Read only exception -

-
After I deploy the app to Heroku, I have to run migration scripts and get this error message ... ITES \ padrino \ prophetmargin & gt; Heroku Rack AR: Rack mutated! SQLite3 :: ReadOnlyException: only one try to write database to read: CREATE TABLE "schema_migrations" ( "version" varchar (255) NOT NULL) /disk1/home/slugs/215264_925fd2c_65a3/mnt/.bundle/gems/gems/ padrino-core- is 0.9.11 / lib / padrino-core / cli / rake.rb: 9: in `init ' how can this be? I also tried to run Heroku dbpush SQLite: //db/my-db.db and that did not work Horoku sqlite3 but using postgres does not do. I'm not sure why you are receiving this error, however, as I have used sqlite3 in development and when pushing it into its travel, they do some magic which migrates to postgrads. I'm absolutely sure how Heroku does 'backwash' this database but it seems that this is happening to you because it's the SQLite db file which is obviously due to Heroku's

lex - Building a lexical Analyzer in Java -

-
I am currently learning lexical analysis in compiler design. To know how a lexical analyzer actually works, I am trying to build myself. I am planning to make it in Java The input to the lexical analyzer is a .tex file that is of the following format. \ section {script} {intro} \ section {Scope} arbitrary text \ section {relevance} uncontrolled text \ subdivision (profit) arbitrary text \ subsubsection {in real life} \ subdivision {Ingredient} \ end {document} The output of the lecture may be a table of contents with a page number in another file. 1 Introduction 1 1.1 Scope 1 1.2 Relevance 2 1.2.1 Benefits 2 1.2.1.1 Real life 2 1.2.2 loss 3 I hope that This problem is within the scope of Language Analysis Read the .exe file and check '\' and continue to check whether it is actually on search In the sectioning command is set to indicate whether or not a flag variable is the type of sectioning. I hope the above approach will work for the construction of Lexa

python - rename keys in a dictionary -

-
I want to change the names of keys in a dictionary which are ints, and I need them so that the inputs with key zero They can sort correctly. For example, my keys are like this: '1', '101', '11' and I may need them: '001', '101', '011' What is doing, but I know that there is a better way tmpDict = {} in the ADC for the old: t MpDict ['% 04d'% int (olden)] = addict [oldkey] New controlled = tmpDict You are going wrong about this if you want to draw entries on a line in a specific way, then you have to sort on the extraction. for sorted (D, key = int): print '% s:% R'% (k, d [k]) < / Div>
