6000+ Kudos

Recently I broke through the 6000 Kudos barrier.
So I wrote small program to screen-scrap the contributions page so I could do a breakdown of all my contributions by language section.

Still not quite got the full A-Z in both snippets and tutorials.

Today I'm releasing my free ebook - A Primer on SQL here at Dreamincode. It is a short ebook teaching the basics of SQL assuming no prior knowledge of it. While the examples and text use Ingres as the database management system, the code should work correctly on any SQL compliant database.

I set out to see if I could write a simple Cross-OS program using NASM and GTK+ 2 on Linux and Windows. GTK is a cross OS GUI library, so it seemed it would be easy enough. Holy crap was I wrong!

On Linux, it is simple:
1. Build the GUI with GLADE and save the glade file.
2. Write Assembly code using NASM to load the glade file, show the...

Hey guys so I have decided to start blog series where I will be talking about my experiences in Android! Today I will talking about how I calculated the path of enemy units in the game that I am creating. I would like to note that any code that post in this blog entry is still a work in progress and not all the logic bugs have been worked out...

One year ago, I posted a whiny, melodramatic entry about the horrible abuse I was suffering at the hands of my employer when they implemented their mandatory everything-must-use-Joomla-for-a-CMS policy. I am now on the cusp of launching my third Joomla-backed site and, while I'm still not excited by it, I have learned to manage (and in some...

So I've been using Arch Linux as my distro of choice. I'll tell you why with a screenshot:

There are a lot of threads about doing homework, and about questions regarding homework. Yet we still get tons of questions for the same things over and over... see the same problems over and over... so I'm going to throw my hat in the ring of trying to cover these in one place rather than have so many people waste so many man-hours saying...

Welcome to another exciting episode! Today we will be discussing a topic that seems to be a bit of a confusing one for everyone... storing BLOB images in MySQL and then showing them again using PHP. While it is always advised against, we will show you a little demo code for how this can be done and discuss why/why not do this. We will then...

The other day while helping out in Java, I came across this thread...

Hi guys, just finished writing an article showing you how to set up an Ubuntu VPS from scratch for Ruby on Rails development.

Check it out here:

Hopefully it saves some of you some migraines when you're starting out.

Alrighty then. After much floundering about (diminishing returns on programming achievement apparently decrease rapidly for me post 11 PM), I have the initial cut of the algorithm that underlies this application. For the introduction and cities flat file, see this previous post...

I recently had a chance to review Softfluent's "Codefluent Entities" (CFE) add-on for Visual Studios. Codefluent Entities is a code generator that really helps channel, and push, the upfront modeling and architecture we all do (or should be doing) when we dive into a project.

Over the years I have looked into...

One of my courses this semester is Production Management and a key part of it is forecasting methods. Given the headaches of doing all those repetitive calculations by hand, I soon got the habit of doing my homework in MS Excel. It's a great software I have to say...
But I thought why not make a customized software for it myself? Which does...

I'd like to share this article and site with everyone. It was quite an interesting read especially when you look at the concepts behind the way they go about teaching code. While there are no shortage of interactive coding tutorials online (e.g. code academy) this site focuses on teaching coding by giving the code by using visual content to...

It's been a while since I've posted anything here.
Since my last blog post, here, I've switched jobs. I no longer do work as a web master, but rather, a web applications developer. It's a great job. I'm always learning more every day - which is one of the reasons why I left the last job. It got stale, and I wasn't...

Maybe you work for a company that leaves DB passwords in plaintext in configuration files on their servers. You would probably be among the majority. Or maybe your company encrypts passwords in configuration files: Also not that uncommon. What’s not common (in my experience) is having the devops team “transmit” the password to the application...

Hi all, I'm working on a slot machine. I'm a novice to intermediate coder and am developing this slot machine for my website. www.dangerousdavesdesigns.com
I would like it to have 5 reels and right now only 3 pay lines but eventually I would like to have a wild card and 25 lines with 2 separate bonuses.
So far my code has 5 reels and 1...

I will start my project this coming weekend. I will just start by dobbling about in code and getting used to some languages that I have elementary prior knowledge of. I am looking forward to it, as I usually make art for and indie company and am not a super serious programmer but do enjoy it.

On the 21^st or 22^nd of last month (April), I started a class called "Introduction to Programming." The intention of the class is to teach students the basic structure and logic of programming. This includes things from creating flowcharts and pseudocode to loops and if statements to basic object-oriented programming. I was pretty...

Well, it's been ages since my last blog entry, sorry about that. The project has not been abandoned! In fact, the very opposite. I've been working so hard on it that I've barely had any time to hop onto my beloved DIC forums. Oh, how I've missed you.

Obviously, I'm no artist (I HATE...

Well I started my blog today and I thought I will make it on vb.net.

We will start of with the basics for the first few posts then we will go advanced.

Code for Navigation

Code for going back

Like above .GoBack use GoForward

Git commit histories can sometimes be a mess to look at. Sometimes you make multiple commits that work on the same feature, and when you're done with the feature, you'd like to just merge the commits together so they show up in the history as a single commit. Sometimes you make one commit, and then you realized you left in some debugging...
