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...

Hi all, I used to be pretty good at writing assembler and machine code for micro controllers back in the days of 8 bit Dinosaurs, but after many years of letting others write the code I am really rusty.

Since this is my introduction entry, i won't log any details in it, but the next entry will be soon. I promise

Hi all!

This is my first blog entry here. So it's really just silly.

I'm new here. Like programming but has quit university and not sure where to go now.

This place sounds cool, for now it's just fun to help people out when I can. Maybe I can find some cool project to work on.

Lotsa Love

At this point I'm about to finish 5 chapters in my programming book. I say programming book because its purpose is not to teach me C++ and all of its details but to make me a "professional programmer one day. I had initially planned like twice as much but as I've found out this stuff takes time and can't be rushed.

Recently I...

Why did I start C++.
Does anyone know?
What the hell is a infinite loop?
Why does it go forever?
That seems pointless.
Maybe it isn't.
Maybe the people that KNOW this stuff get it.
I wish I KNEW stuff.
I only know stuff.
I don't KNOW stuff.

This is the beginning of my journey through the world of programming. I currently have a few more weeks left before I receive my Bachelors degree. As excited as I am, it is also kind of scary. Currently, I am looking for a programming job in Columbus Ohio or surrounding areas. As much as I would love to have some job security, I also wouldn't...

Not much is happening. The reason I am here, aka my ambition, is to make a MMORPG or at least a MORPG. Somewhat Like Astro Empires crossed with Heroes. So yeah.
