Artificial Life or A-Life is one of my greatest fascinations. In fact I started programming to simulate the start of life on a BBC computer. It never got too far, the BBC computer being a thousand times too slow for what I wanted. But I learned to program better and of course computers became more than a thousand times as fast.

The Object Oriented Programming Web publishes FREE programming and computer science tutorials, lecture notes, course slides and e-books. OOPWeb.com is a great resource for all programmers and computer science students, but it's especially popular among those who are interested in C++, Java and Object Oriented Programming.

This website provides tutorials and sample course content so CS students and educators can learn more about current computing technologies and paradigms. In particular, this content is Creative Commons licensed which makes it easy for CS educators to use in their own classes. The Courses section contains tutorials, lecture slides, and problem sets for a variety of topic areas: AJAX Programming Algorithms Distributed Systems Web Security Languages In the Tools 101 section, you will find a set of introductions to some common tools used in Computer Science such as version control systems and databases.

Literate programming is a philosophy of computer programming based on the premise that a computer program should be written similar to literature, with human readability as a primary goal.

Write like you speak... if you speak like that

Processing is an open source programming language and environment for people who want to program images, animation, and interactions. It is used by students, artists, designers, researchers, and hobbyists for learning, prototyping, and production. It is created to teach fundamentals of computer programming within a visual context and to serve as a software sketchbook and professional production tool. Processing is an alternative to proprietary software tools in the same domain. Processing is free to download and available for GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. Please help to release the next version!

FlexibleRules aims at supporting the design and editing of computer board games by introducing a simplified programming model and set of software tools. Seems well documented with examples, tutorials

Android Tutorial. Android is a software package containing linux based operating system for mobile devices such as tablet computers, smartphones etc, middleware and key mobile applicaitons.

The article will familiarize application developers with tasks given them by the mass introduction of 64-bit multi-core processors symbolizing revolutionary increase of computing power available for an average user. It will also touch upon the problems of effective use of hardware resources for solving everyday applied tasks within the limits of Windows x64 operating system

Android is a software package and linux based operating system for mobile devices such as tablet computers and smartphones. It is developed by Google and later the OHA (Open Handset Alliance). Java language is mainly used to write the android code even though other languages can be used.

The C language is relatively "small" in comparison to other modern computer languages. To completely specify it, (and its standard library) only requires about ~550 pages. To do the same for Java or C++ would require an entire bookshelf, rather than a single book. However, even though the language is small enough to be easily comprehended, it has some dark corners. The purpose of this article is to explore some of them. Since C is used in a wide variety of applications, the "dialect" of it varies. This means that some people may be quite familiar with many of the following items. However, the individual "non-obscure" subsets should hopefully vary, resulting in at least a few items you might not know about.

As CPU cores become both faster and more numerous, the limiting factor for most programs is now, and will be for some time, memory access. Hardware designers have come up with ever more sophisticated memory handling and acceleration techniques-such as CPU caches-but these cannot work optimally without some help from the programmer. Unfortunately, neither the structure nor the cost of using the memory subsystem of a computer or the caches on CPUs is well understood by most programmers. This paper explains the structure of memory subsys- tems in use on modern commodity hardware, illustrating why CPU caches were developed, how they work, and what programs should do to achieve optimal performance by utilizing them.
