I'm not sure you can take back lines you've already fully entered. You might find using the built in text editor to be more enjoyable to code multi-line programs in. Go File -> New File (or Ctrl + N). Then you should get a new window where you can code in. You can save the program as a file and then run the code with Run -> Run Module (or F5).

Since it has Windows 8 then you should be able to install it. I've never tried using it on a tablet before so I'm not sure how well it'll run. Here are the VS2013 system requirements.

Are you using the command line or GUI version of IDLE? My GUI version has all the expected commands (undo, redo, cut, copy, paste, etc) with their usual configurations. Command line is a little different. Also as a side note, I'd recommend switching to PyCharm for your Python coding needs.

Yeah, I just looked at the site on mobile and it's not there. You'll see it when you aren't viewing their sites mobile version.

You mean the big blue button in the middle of the page that I linked? (or the link under it)

Regardless of your opinions on the language, I still don't consider it to be that hard of a language to learn. Python is certainly the better choice for someone's first language and it's cool to see that many universities are adopting it. With that said, if one plans to make a career as a developer, Java has its place and I still feel it's worth learning at some point due to its widespread use in the industry.

Unless you have the Surface Pro 2, you'll be using Windows RT (not Windows 7/8) so you wont be able to run Visual Studio on it. Visual Studio Online might be an alternative though but I haven't tried it myself. I assume Steam and most, if not all, its games also wouldn't be supported on Windows RT. There may be ways around it but again, I haven't tried it myself.

Brackets and PhpStorm also have the live view feature so they are other options you can look into. I think they are both Chrome only as well.

Python is certainly easier to start with, but Java isn't that hard to learn.

Decided to try implementing the following design patterns to improve the current state of things Model-View-Presenter (MVP) pattern Repository pattern Unit of Work pattern

You could always get in on an open source project.

I've also heard from others that genymotion is superior as well. I haven't tried it out myself since I work directly on devices but I'll definitely be checking it out next time I need an emulator.

Some paid tutorial sites have great quality video tutorials (credit card usually required). Either use up their free trials and quit or keep going and cancel any time. Lynda.com (code wanshow and techquickie to support Linus Media Group) Team Treehouse Pluralsite I've personally used all three.

I noticed you have jsFiddle there. Maybe have a category for Online Compilers and Interpreters/Cloud IDEs? Here are some free online compilers/interpreters that cover multiple languages which are super handy to have on hand. Coding Ground Ideone repl.it There are more out there but I judged the books by their covers (ie: if the site looked bad, I didn't bother including it). There are also many free online compilers/interpreters for specific languages like the following SQL Fiddle Python Fiddle .NET Fiddle (technically multiple (only C#, VB.NET and F#) but decided to group it here with the other fiddles) These single language options are worth adding if they beat the "many in one" options for their respective languages.

Did you try running it? If it gives you a wrong answer then it doesn't work, if it gives you the right answer in multiple cases it (probably) does.

Then keep learning them. No need to switch if you've already found languages you like.

Lets start with the easier of the two options. Converting a char array to a string can be done by looping through the array and adding each character to the end of the string. A simple way to adding a character to the end of a string is to make a string equal to itself concatenated with the character. str = str + chr// examplestr = '' // str is currently emptystr = str + 'h' // str now equals hstr = str + 'i' // str now equals hi With that info you can try to figure the rest out yourself.

Have you attempted anything? Got any code to show us?

I'm wondering if any of the more experienced programmers out there can give me some design advice for my data access layer (using EF6) of my ASP.NET web forms application. - edited out specifics -

I think it's a general way of just saying "Write a method". public void Example(){ // ...} You might get a question that says "Implement a method to do blah blah blah" which means "Write a method to do blah blah blah". // Example: Implement a method that returns the sum of two integers.public int Sum(int a, int b){ return a + b;} It can also more specifically mean "Implement the methods from an interface/abstract class" but this is just saying "Finish writing a pre-defined method" so if you haven't yet learned about interfaces or abstract classes yet, don't worry about it.

What exactly do you want explained? All the code you posted?

You can make Linux applications using many different languages, C++ being one of them. You'll just need to get a GUI framework for Linux in the chosen language. I don't develop for Linux so I'm not sure what the best options are. GTK+ and QT are two options but I'm not sure what else is out there. You might have to look further into things yourself.

Didn't know that. I'll have to try it out some time.

Is this a text editor geared towards programmers or will it just be a general text editor for the average person without any programming specific features (syntax highlighting, auto-complete, etc)?

You'll need to work on that as Google is one of the best resources a programmer has access to lol If you do a Google image search on "invoice template" it'll give you loads of examples. You can take one you like and make it yourself. Shouldn't be too hard to get at least a basic page coded up. Then it's just a matter of filling stuff in from the code behind I suppose.
