| net.bunnie |
Net.Bunnie is a comprehensive directory of all of my Java coding. But who is this
girl anyways? Well, my name is Lizzy, and I attend the University of Virginia.
I have been coding in Java since 7th grade, which is evident from the source
files here. You are welcome to use any of these, but you should probably comment
in the URL you got it from. Plus, you will have to remove any package related
file locations, etc. I don't actually code in Java as my first, or even second language of choice. I'm not a computer science major, and I only use coding for when it benefits me and my website. I have listed my computer langugage knowledge below for anyone who actually cares enough to be reading this. |
| Language Name | Language Experience |
| Perl | Perl is my language of choice since 9th grade when I started learning it. I use it to dynamically create archives for my blog (which is approaching 4,000 entries - I wrote this summer of 07). Pretty much anything for my website can be best done with Perl, minus lazy file including which I use PHP for. Perl is pretty much the best thing ever, it is fast and has funny inside jokes and many ways to code while being lazy (who really needs an unless() or an if at the end of a line) plus the regex is hilarious. I am not an amazing Perl coder or anything, but I am proficient and love it. |

PHP aka BabyPerl | PHP was my first experience in programming for my website, other than those Java applets from 7th grade. I used it to include header and footer files for my layouts, and soon I learned how to do a lot of things for my blog with it. This is when I learned that PHP is crazy slow and that anything can be done better with Perl. Perl was really easy to learn once I was familiar with PHP, since the syntax is so similar and Perl is like PHP on steroids. Really, anyone who claims to be a PHP coder has obviously not experienced the joys of Perl. Well, I do not do MySQL so maybe PHP is better for that, but anything having to do with file system manipulations and large text processing is meant for Perl not PHP. This is best evidenced by the fact that you can run a Perl script in a PHP script but I'm pretty sure you can't do the other way around (who would want to). |
| Other languages |
I know a little bit of Python, I am proficient at TI-89 programming (or at least
I was in high school), I can make my way around Javascript, and of course
I know things like HTML and CSS. I also programmed this batch program for a
family friend's pediatric office to mass delete backup files... Lol...
I used to love learning all these different
languages but then I learned Perl and never needed anything else. Haha. But it is
true. I was going to do a CS minor at UVA but I looked at the class descriptions and realized that 1. I already know the material covered in 101 and 201, and 2. The material covered after those classes is nothing that I will ever use for my website which is the only reason I code anymore. Well sometimes I code things for my computer or whatever but really it is my blog that runs my coding desire. Even the stuff in Java that I did at Exeter was mostly centered on my blog. It is the perfect database for testing things, almost 4,000 text files with all sorts of characters in them... Anyways, I still have to take 101 for my math major, which I think I am doing in the fall unless I decide against it again or something. I kind of wish I could just take a class on, like, independent CS study and work on rewriting Greymatter. But that will never happen. :P I can proly spend most of my time in 101 doing that anyways lol. I guess that is it... Dunno what else I want to tell you about my coding experience. If I think of something I will add it. |
