Hi gavin check out these courses at the uni (comp-sci)... comp103 comp130 and possibly comp208 comp258 Cheers... david -----Original Message----- From: Gavin Denby [mailto:redhat(a)ihug.co.nz] Subject: Re: [wlug] Programming Courses ? Thanks for the interesting comments to date, Just to fine tune my thinking, If a new programmer learnt C++ and then was handed some C code for tidy up, he would probably manage ok ??? Of course since no courses seem to be available, it may come down to books and self learning anyway. Both the polytech and uni are sending me course details, but neither course call centre understood a bean of what I asked.

Programming Courses ?
by Gavin Denby 29 Apr '04

29 Apr '04

Having lasted 25 years as an electronic Tech, I am needing to expand to cope with the continued blurring of the line between when the electronics start and the Programming of PC's takes over. I already write assembler for microcontrollers (programming from 2K to 2 meg in assembler) and really should be using c for this, but have never took the time to learn it.I have however programed in both Portran (port-a Punch) and basic many years ago. Ancient history lesson ends I basically need to program PC's to set up/ colect data/ process data and probably via a graphical interface. so my question ... in 2 parts: 1. Is C still a viable language to learn to write programs for PC/MAC Ideally in Win MacOSX (cocoa looks nice) and Linux or should I be looking at C# / Mono / QT / ?? It seems that all later programming languages seem to be adding to C (extend .. embrace ??) so Would C be a good start place ? All opinions welcome.... and crystal ball gazing will be entertained. 2. Does anyone have experience with a good course / course provider that they would recommend to provide such training. I would prefer part time training, as my family like to eat, but this is flexible, as I can work nights/weekend is the course is not too long. Of course, then I could apply for the job that just hit my inbox too :-) Thanks in advance.

iptables question
by DrWho? 27 Apr '04

27 Apr '04

This has more then likely been asked by a million people with a million different answers but here goes. I was wondering if it is possible for iptables to filter by a domain name? I would like to restrict port 80 connects to .nz domains only and all others are stealthed. The solution does not need to be very fast, handle more then one high level domain or any other ports and is not for commercial usage. Any solutions?

Of course they are, which means getting a /24 block might be a bit easier, and that they stand a chance for a /16 block. > -----Original Message----- > From: Drew Broadley [mailto:drew(a)corrupt.co.nz] > Sent: Tuesday, 27 April 2004 11:44 > To: 'Waikato Linux Users Group' > Subject: RE: [wlug] iptables question > > > > I don't think APNIC even see Telecom as a big enough player > to assign > a > > full /8 block. > > Last I saw they were a medium membership holder. > > Surely they would "care" about that sized customer ? > > - Drew > > _______________________________________________ > wlug mailing list | wlug(a)list.waikato.ac.nz > Unsubscribe: http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/wlug > >

What ? All of it ? But someone mentioned that there are bits of it over in Japan. Someone else mentioned that it was all over the show. That would have been a more recent assignment, I don't think APNIC even see Telecom as a big enough player to assign a full /8 block. Anyway, not my problem... > -----Original Message----- > From: Drew Broadley [mailto:drew(a)corrupt.co.nz] > Sent: Tuesday, 27 April 2004 11:13 > To: 'Waikato Linux Users Group' > Subject: RE: [wlug] iptables question > > > > Dunno...
