A few months ago, he heard from a friend who was a policeman about a good person who acted bravely, and he thought it was a good news topic. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Unexpectedly, more than a month later, the sister of the party suddenly called and asked him about the price of advertising in the "Yuncheng Evening News".

In 1995, in the era of the great reform of the national system, all walks of life are changing to the market economy, reporters in addition to running the news, there is also the business of advertising sponsorship, Li Laoshi has been two consecutive months of business substandard, another month does not meet the standard will be notified and criticized, is anxious, did not expect a big pie fell from the sky, overjoyed, immediately put aside the old grievances, actively and enthusiastically help errands, successfully got a full-page large advertising contract, not only completed the task, but also made a small bonus.

After that, he was grateful for the pictorial, and wrote a series of articles in a row, reporting on the posters of Yunda, rendering amazing sales, praising the design of the product, and the image of the beautiful brand.

On April 30th, Li Laoshi took turns off and did not go to work, and was guiding his younger brothers and sisters to write homework at home, when he suddenly received a text message from Du Chunhua, asking him to go to the company, and then was hit by a bigger pie.

The boss of a high-tech company that foreigners seek after products, employees earn more than 10,000 yuan a month, and are on the front page of the People's Daily is actually a Yuncheng person, which is big news in itself!

But there is even bigger news, that is, this boss is actually going to move the company from the prosperous capital to the remote cloud city!!

"Reporter Li, can this press release be on the front page of your newspaper tomorrow afternoon?"

"Yes, absolutely no problem!"

Li Laoshi even forgot to take the pen fee, took a taxi that he was usually reluctant to take, and rushed back to the company, and pressed the press release on the editor-in-chief's desk.

The report squeezed out the very important but well-known notice news of "the official implementation of the 5-day work week nationwide after Labor Day", and successfully appeared in the "Cloud City Evening News" The headlines on the front page soon spread throughout Yuncheng, up to government officials, down to street vendors, everyone knew that there was a great character in Yuncheng, opened a bullish company, Li Laoshi himself was also excited, and when he got off work in the evening, he deliberately brought a newspaper home, and solemnly pressed it under the pillow, because this was the first time his name was printed on the front page headlines.

Early the next morning, Li Laoshi got up and prepared to go to Sanjiang University in advance for an interview and report in detail on the whole process of Du Qiu's technical speech, but as soon as he got on the bus, he received a text message from the editor-in-chief, asking him to return to the company quickly, because the city government sent someone over to inquire about Snapdragon software.

Li Laoshi had no choice but to return to the newspaper office, tell the secretary from the city government everything he knew, and then went to Sanjiang University with the secretary.

However, these three articles are just appetizers, the real main course is the afternoon speech, but unfortunately Li Laoshi is a liberal arts student, let alone programming, he can't even turn on the computer, he can't understand a line of code, standing in the back row of the lecture hall in the crowd, like listening to the book of heaven, the clouds cover the fog, can't grasp the point, and don't know how to write the report at all.

When Du Qiu held up a textbook and bombarded it with many mistakes and omissions, causing a tsunami-like discussion in the lecture hall, he immediately lifted his spirits and felt that he had found a breakthrough point, so he grabbed a student next to him and asked, "Classmate, who wrote this book?"

"A professor at Cheongseong University is quite famous. ”

Cheongseong University is one of the best universities in the country, and the professors of this school will publish a book with more than 200 errors and omissions?

If there are hundreds of typos in a novel, it must be a substandard product, Du Qiu is holding a textbook, and it is a textbook used in universities, how can there be more than 200 mistakes?

Li Laoshi originally thought that it was written by a professor from an unknown university, so there were so many mistakes, but he didn't expect the author to be a famous professor at Qingcheng University, so he couldn't help but be surprised, and asked in disbelief: "There are really so many errors in this book?"

"I don't know if there are more than 200 of them, but I know that there are some small bugs in them. The student said casually with a rational, objective and neutral attitude: "This is just an introductory textbook, and some mistakes are inevitable." ”

A student next to him couldn't stand it anymore, and retorted: "The more introductory the textbook, the more rigorous it must be, otherwise you will form a wrong concept or develop a wrong habit, and it will be difficult to change it in the future, I have long said that this book is rubbish, and you still treat it as a treasure!"

"I didn't take it as a treasure, I mean as an introductory textbook, the requirements should not be too high. ”

"Just kidding! The requirements for the introductory textbook are not too high? You have the ability to say a word of standard Mandarin to me, can't you say it? It's not because you didn't learn pinyin well when you were a child, and you were led crooked by the teacher, and now you can't change it if you want to. ”

"Pinyin is pinyin, programming is programming, dare to despise my accent, come out and single-handedly ......"

Li Laoshi felt that this was a good analogy, secretly wrote it down, and then asked other students around him, and found that he thought it was true, and agreed with Du Qiu's point of view, some people disagreed, thinking that Du Qiu's words were exaggerated, and some didn't matter, and felt that Du Qiu was making a big fuss.

After asking the students' opinions, Li Laoshi went to ask the opinions of the two peers next to him, the reporter of the provincial newspaper felt that this was a literati and a big deal, and the reporter of the city newspaper said lightly with a smile of insight into the world: "It's just grandstanding, this textbook is very famous, and the circulation is large, as long as you find some small mistakes from it, you can prove that your level is better." ”

After hearing this, Li Laoshi realized that Du Qiu was indeed grandstanding, but not to prove his high level, but to advertise for Snapdragon Software Company, because judging from the scene in the lecture hall, this remark is extremely controversial, and it will definitely cause a big discussion in the industry after it is circulated, and the discussion will inevitably increase the popularity and popularity of Snapdragon Software.

Du Qiu does have the meaning of advertising, but that is just a convenient way, not the main reason, the main reason is that the book is indeed of poor quality, full of errors and omissions, but since it was published in 1991, it has been promoted everywhere by administrative means, and has become a general textbook for computer grade exams and colleges and universities, and has issued tens of millions of copies for more than 20 years！

It's all in the fourth edition, and there are so many errors, and the first version was used in 1995, how many errors should there be?

A textbook of more than 300 pages has more than 500 mistakes, and how many students can become qualified programmers who use it to teach?

If programming is compared to basketball, a good textbook should teach people how to dribble, pass and shoot the ball in a standard posture, cultivate good basic skills and team awareness, so that no matter which team you go to play, you can quickly integrate into it, and eventually grow into a professional basketball player. The shooting posture is not standard, and it also teaches people how to be opportunistic, how to play tricks, how to cheat fouls, it is useless except to cope with the exam, and after learning, it can't cooperate with anyone, and in the end it can only become a hooligan who bullies children on the street basketball court......

When Du Qiu first learned C language, he also used this textbook to get started, and learned a lot of messy but meaningless things, and then under the guidance of his senior brother Chen Yuanqi, it took a lot of effort to correct the wrong thinking and habits, which can be said to have suffered deeply.

In addition, if the development of Snapdragon software goes smoothly, the future will definitely recruit a large number of fresh graduates as programmers in China, if every student has to be retrained before they can take up their posts, it will be time-consuming, laborious and costly, as soon as possible to puncture this tumor, so that students can take the initiative to find the mistakes in it, and correct it themselves, wouldn't it be better, saving time, effort and worry.

"Let's not argue about it, practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, whether the way of thinking taught in this book is right, whether the programming habits are good or not, just try it. Du Qiu knocked on the microphone twice, and then switched a PPT picture, and said: "There is a built-in text editor in the Windows operating system, called Notepad, which is a notepad program that everyone often uses to open txt files, its function is very weak, when I returned from New York a few days ago, I was very bored on the plane, and I was going to write an enhanced NotePad program, but it was not completed. ”

Du Qiu switched to a document with software function planning, and introduced: "In addition to basic text editing, it can also be used as an editor for computer programs, supporting code highlighting, code folding, extension plug-ins, ......"

After he introduced seven or eight functions, he switched to a document full of code, and said: "This is part of the source code of the program I have completed, which has been placed in the server of the computer room of Sanjiang University, interested students can download or print it out, and work with students to complete it, students from other schools do not need to worry, and after the lecture, I will entrust the teachers to bring the source code back, and also put it on the server of the school computer room." ”

"Except for the code of this text editor. Du Qiu took out another CD and gestured: "This contains the source code of excellent open source software such as FreeBSD, Linux, VIM and EMACS, and I will also entrust all teachers to bring it back and put it on the school server for your reference." ”

This was a female student who raised her hand high, and when she saw Du Qiu nodding her head in permission, she stood up and said, "Teacher Du, wouldn't it be chaotic if everyone was changing the source code indiscriminately?"

"Open source software does not mean free and loose, every excellent open source software has a very strict management method behind it, about this knowledge, after the end of the speech, you can learn from the booklet received by Mr. Cai, I will briefly introduce it here......"

After Du Qiuyan concisely introduced several different types of code management modes, he pointed to the code on the curtain and said: "You can submit the code you write to the server in the computer room, and I will check it once a week to integrate the qualified code into the main program, and if you write well enough, I will see it." ”

There was something to say, something to imply, and there was a buzzing commotion in the lecture hall.

"Participating in the development of open source software will make it easy for you to find a job with a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan, which is the biggest benefit. Du Qiutu saw that he said his intention to recruit at the last moment, and then picked up the thermos cup, made a toast, and said: "That's all for today, thank you for coming to the scene." ”
