Maybe the reputation points might not mean a lot to most people here, but I don't generally post in areas outside of assisting people with problems, so this means that my points are a fairly good indicator for how many people I've actually helped, and it feels pretty good.I think back to the first people that I helped with C# problems...
You couldn't find a book title that aligns more perfectly with my blog's mission statement: Seven Languages in Seven Weeks by Bruce A. Tate. It's a whistle stop tour of seven programming languages. Each one is chosen for an aspect of its programming model.The languages are Ruby, Io, Prolog, Scala, Erlang, Clojure and Haskell....
It has come to my attention, both here on DIC and in the real world, that many programmers do not actually know that there is a difference between a switch statement and a string of if-else clauses. This seems worthy of correction. You may have been told at some point in your path to becoming a developer that a switch statement is "just like...
In order for someone to help you to solve your problem you have to help us to help you. First, post the relevant code wrapped in code-tags. Highlight the code and press the [ code ] button just above where you are typing. Press the Preview Post button until it is correct.Post relevant...
6000+ KudosRecently I broke through the 6000 Kudos barrier.

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.

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...
