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:

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...

yeah !. a brand new blog ! i dont know what to post here.... any ideas ?

For a long time now, I've wanted to create something, something that people could interact with, give me feedback, enjoy while they are using it. Now I have seen alot of these text based games on the internet, the majority of them are just the same game with different images and layouts.

Having done some research into it, I found that they...

Introduction
If you have read any material on compiler creation then you know that there is essentially 2 phases of a compiler:

• Front End
  
• Back End

With both phases having multiple mini-phases. The front end will typically be comprised of a 3 mini-phases:

• Lexical Analysis
  
• Syntax Analysis
  
• Semantic Analysis

Dear journal,
I just discovered this blogging part of the D.I.C...
Does that count as learning?
I don't know, but that is one of the things that I learned today anyways.

That's all for now... (if we are not counting learning to work with scrum)

I'll be back at this blogging thing tomorrow.
Cheers!

There is common misconception that web applications and mobile applications are the same things. But in real, these both things are different. They are also developed and deployed different.

Difference between mobile applications and web applications are:

Spent some time in a chatroom today. Fond memories of mid 90's and my youth came to mind, as I once again marveled at the delicate precision needed to balance my passion to be heard and responsibility to be communal in this fragile environment. I'm taken back to that time, but my memories of then are tentative and faint. I can remember...
