The "fresco"

Bruno Tagliapietra

a collegue of mine, from a village near Rome, uses to say "fresco": it means basically "stuff", and he really abuses the word. When he explains your code to you, he sounds like this: "Well, I coded a 'fresco' that takes two other 'frescos' and move them around, while another couple of lists of 'frescos'...." He also claims being a jQuery expert... so this is a jQuery example of his "frescoes" :laugh:

    $(".TimeoutInMinutes").change(function() {
        UpdateSave($(this).parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().attr("id"));
    });

    $(".Iteration").change(function() {
        UpdateSave($(this).parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().attr("id"));
    });

This is not hard to unerstand. As a kid I watched the Smurfs on TV a lot. Watching that a lot made me familiar with their language. The language your co-worker speaks seems closely related to the Smurfs language. A basic rule for this language family is to replace every noun with another word, in your co-workers language this word is 'fresco'. Learning a new language is never easy, but with a bit of practice you'll get there! :thumbsup:

This language seems harder to decipher... :doh:

It's an OO world.

yup, a language very easy to speak but almost impossible to understand eheh.. it's like a noninvertible function :)

I can not see anything to complain about! He talks about frescos[^] and revers to the 6. generation of parents - this sound fine to me. The time should kind of fit. regards Torsten

I never finish anyth...

and here's another one... it's ROBUST jquery :p

$(this).parent().parent().parent().children("tr:nth-child(1)").children("td").children().children().children().children(":nth-child(2)")children(".MultilineTextBox").val("!" + Out);

Yeah, that is a really ugly querry of "frescoes". :laugh:

Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

Is fresco Italian for widget? I'm hungry, how do you ever stop eating over there?! I'm 50% Italian, my mother was born there, but I've never visited. I would have to stay though, because I wouldn't fit on the plane back.

"fresco" means something "fresh". I can't think of an word sounding the same with a useful meaning in software developing. regards Torsten

Are you saying he's all fresco? Maybe he should work on this[^]?

Hi Bruno, Clearly this programmer is using "fresco" as a code-word for "obfuscatore al dente." best, Bill

"Many : not conversant with mathematical studies, imagine that because it [the Analytical Engine] is to give results in numerical notation, its processes must consequently be arithmetical, numerical, rather than algebraical and analytical. This is an error. The engine can arrange and combine numerical quantities as if they were letters or any other general symbols; and it fact it might bring out its results in algebraical notation, were provisions made accordingly."
