In the world of enterprise programming, the mainstream is broad and deep. Code is written predominantly in one of a few major languages. For some shops, this means Java; for others, it's C# or PHP. Sometimes, enterprise coders will dabble in C++ or another common language used for high-performance tasks such as game programming, all of which turn around and speak SQL to the database.
Computer Science Unplugged is a series of learning activities that reveals a little-known secret: Computer Science isn't really about computers at all!
CS Unplugged provides an extensive collection of free resources that teach principles of Computer Science such as binary numbers, algorithms and data compression through engaging games and puzzles that use cards, string, crayons and lots of running around.
What a difference two weeks and a few words of legalese can make to the future of a widely used programming technology.\nIn that span of time, Adobe Systems has gone from touting its technology for building Flash applications that run on the iPhone to canceling future development of that technology.
Welcome to JavaScript tutorials by ajaxBlender. This collection contains useful tutorials for popular JavaScript frameworks. Select the framework below to browse categorized JavaScript tutorials.
JavaScript is the language of Akshell. Modern web apps usually have a rich AJAX interface created using one of the popular client-side JavaScript libraries; in Akshell you employ it for the server side too. This makes your app more integral and robust; you can even share some code between the client and server sides, e.g., the code of form validation.
This is an example of building a tree layout using the Reingold-Tilford "tidy" algorithm, as described in "Tidier Drawings of Trees". As each new element is added to the graph, it animates in, starting at the previous position of the parent node. Thus, the existing nodes and the new node transition smoothly to their new positions. The animation stops when 500 nodes have been added to the tree.
Project Euler is a series of challenging mathematical/computer programming problems that will require more than just mathematical insights to solve. Although mathematics will help you arrive at elegant and efficient methods, the use of a computer and programming skills will be required to solve most problems.
The motivation for starting Project Euler, and its continuation, is to provide a platform for the inquiring mind to delve into unfamiliar areas and learn new concepts in a fun and recreational context.
IBM this week announced a cloud-based collaborative software development tool that's being offered free to students now for academic use only but is expected to become a commercial service at some point in the future.
