Gender:

[list]Male[/list]

Location:

[list]Austria, the great inventer of the Wieners and the Wiener Schnitzel.[/list]

Birth date:

Age:

[list]    
I am 6091 days old.
Which is 870 weeks and 1 day.
That's 16 years and 247 days, including 4 leap days,
or 16 years, 35 weeks and 2 days.

In other words, that's 200.16 months.
Therefore, I am 16.68 years old.

How I would define myself (Coder, Mapper, Spriter):

• I would define myself as a willing and enthusiastic webmaster and mapper, able to learn things quick and by himself.
  In addition I know how to map decently and I always try to come up with new and interesting ways/designs for the maps.

Programming Languages:

[list][*]Python
[*]LUA[/list]

Markup Languages:

[list][*]HyperText Markup Language[/list]

Stylesheet Languages:

[list][*]Cascading Style Sheets[/list]

Scripting Languages:

[list][*]JavaScript[/list]

Any previous experience developing with SS13?

[list][*]N/A[/list]

How well do you know Git?

[list]Pretty well. Addition:
[*]Github Educational Account[/list]

My primary job is server development, not policing the server. I may be given Moderator-level of access but I should *not* be invoking any administrative actions unless there are no moderators or Admins online. Do I understand?

[list]Yes, I do understand and support a strict restriction.[/list][/b]

Additional Skills/Hobbys of no/less relevance:

[list][*]SHA-256 Bitcoin Mining
[*]Setting up Web/Gameservers
[*]Russian and German Language
[*]Hyper-V Server Management
[*]SS13 Tcomms Codeing[/list]

Anything else you'd like to add?

[list]I am able, but not limited to useing the Programming Languages listed above. This means that I'm able to learn and apply new languages and skills very easily. In addition I'm currently attending the best higher technical High school in my Country. Further more I've got around 4-8 hours time to code or play daily. [/list]

That age brings chil to my spine

I normally stay out of the coding apps and such since I know practically nothing about it, but you seem pretty well informed about the whole subject, and willing to learn anything that you may need to if you don't know it already. I'm sure you could be pretty useful to the other Devs on our server. Of course, this is up to them to decide.

None of the languages you listed, are programming languages, they are scripting languages.

Correction, LUA is, but the others are scripting.

Correction, LUA is, but the others are scripting.

They do provide a good basis to learn other languages, such as the one BYOND uses (which isn't much more advanced than LUA), assuming he's experienced in all of them. Give him a project to attempt.

The term "scripting language" is used loosely to refer to dynamic high-level general-purpose language, such as Perl, Tcl, and Python, with the term "script" often used for small programs (up to a few thousand lines of code). That means Python does count as a Programming language.

Personally after mainly coding in c languages myself Python is so out there but Sascha is right it is a programming language and a scripting language.

[apophis775]

No, the difference between a scripting language and a programming language, is that scripting languages don't have a "compile" step. Your are just "scripting" the commands into a sequence, which is why python is a SCRIPTING language. Additionally, scripting languages don't generally allow the inclusion of libraries. I mean, I know some are coming along towards that, but the compilation step is a huge part that divides it. You can run a script without compiling (it will work or it won't). You can't run something you program without a compilation step.

And I only include LUA into programming languages, because it supports libraries.


If you have more questions, let me know. I team programming at a college level.

And that's exactly the point! Python had got a compiler and it does allow the inclusion of "librarys" and Python does have a compiler.

I personally think it doesn't really matter wich one it is. The official definition of Python is:

Python is a programming language that lets you work quickly and integrate systems more effectively.

As I said, it doesn't really matter.

As Stalin stated above it would be a good idea to give me a task and I'll finish it to the best of my abilitys. It would be very appreciated if you give me the task soon, because I've got holidays the next week, wich means I've got a lot of time to finish the task.

I understand you are a professor (which I assume is in programming from what you are saying here), but Python is both a scripting and programming language. Probably more-so programming. Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming language with dynamic semantics. Now this is sort of becoming a discussion, and I feel bad that this is becoming sort of off topic...

Then again, I may not know as complicated code as you do. I've always just heard that Python is a programming language and a scripting language from people who have coded in Python before. A friend of a friend of mine uses Python to code security and maintain the network of a restaurant chain. I've talked enough with him to derive that it is mainly used for scripting, but is indeed a programming language.

[apophis775]

Again, the difference between a programming language and a scripting language, is the necessity for using a compiler.

It's still "code" but the "level" on the hierarchy of programming is VERY different.


Anyway, I'm going to deny this for now. Outside of this topic, I've never really seen you, and we take our code fairly seriously.
