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...

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...

In this episode, I am talking to Eliot Graff (@EliotSeattle) about the beta release of Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 and what the new features are that makes this browser stand out from the crowd.

During the podcast, two resources were mentioned, that might be interesting to you:

I'm probably not going to make huge page long and more posts but just little things i think of.

For starters this popped into my head:
Wow there is about 20 threads moved in the C++ programmers forum because they all should have gone in the c and c++ forum. It's amazing that they can't see the giant red warning telling them not...

I have posted a new tutorial to the board, it's the Simple Servlet 3.0 Tutorial. I created an example using Eclipse and Java 6, and the tutorial will show you how to create servlets using the Java Servlet 3.0 API. Servlet 3.0 is a step-up from prior Servlet incarnations with major enhancements and new features like asynchronous support,...

Hi all, this blog is dedicated to the exploration of the tips and tricks of the c++ language. If you have any ideas on implementing any aspect of c++ feature the "unusual" but "easier yet standard/legal" way, please feel free to leave them here so others can benefit from them. Questions and "whereabouts/how-to's"...

Week 35 was Javascript! I do a lot of web development so I already had a ton of Javascript examples, but decided to use this as an excuse to play with Canvas, the new HTML5 element that gives a set of primitive drawing functions you can manipulate using Javascript.

On top of that, I had wanted to try a few...

I'd better be careful otherwise I might blog myself to death!!!

Been working through Chapter 2 on boolean algebra in my assembly language book. It's pretty hard stuff to get through. I've been taking a lot of notes on it so far.

After 2 days of working with the Office of Engineering, it appears that I have made some small amounts of progress.

I am working on getting general education requirements filled for "Western Culture" and "Humanity and the Arts". I have taken these courses at another university and have been working on getting the transfer...

Greetings,
This will be my first post using the blog system, and I though want better way to start it off with a few Laughs.

On December 6th, I uploaded some Shrek clips form the Holiday TV special, on youtube..

The content might get erase, due to it's copyright restriction. However, it's just a small clip of video, and the loughs are...

Ok, so I've been away from pretty much all types of programming for the past few months. School took over, and I got a new computer (where I couldn't figure out how to install and configure my IDE's/SDK's). Anyways, I managed to get the Android ADK to work, and I was working on a simple program to get me back into the swing of...

First of all, I want to thank you for visiting. Now you might be thinking what is my blog about? Well let me tell you. My name is Fisher. I am 15 and I'm a freshman in high school. I decide to start this blog so people can see the programming world from my point of view and how it all looks to me. Through this blog, I want to let people know...

I've been putting off re-writing my girlfriend's website for a while. I made it quite a long time ago, from her Photoshop mockup in PHP. It works, it pulls down RSS feeds from her various blogs and mixes them together. It has no CMS or framework, though, it's all PHP from scratch, and every other month I find some discrepancy in how...

All I can say about VIM is WOW! I have used VIM before but didn't really use it for much more than a text editor to impress my less geeky friends ...
