It also provides fixed and floating point mathematical functions, 3d functions, file management functions, compressed datafile and a GUI."

The Akihabara which you can download here is my personal dream too. It is a set of libraries, tools and presets to create pixelated indie-style 8/16-bit era games in Javascript that runs in your browser without any Flash plugin, making use of a small small small subset of the HTML5 features, that are actually available on many modern browsers.

ActiveState Code is a site for learning from and sharing code recipes - with a focus on dynamic languages and languages used for web development. The recipes you'll find here highlight programming best practices and can be used directly in day-to-day tasks, as a source of ideas, or as a way to learn more about languages or libraries. We invite you to contribute code, comments, and ratings for recipes. The recipes are freely available for review and use.

The GNU Compiler Collection includes front ends for C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Java, Ada, and Go, as well as libraries for these languages (libstdc++, libgcj,...). GCC was originally written as the compiler for the GNU operating system. The GNU system was developed to be 100% free software, free in the sense that it respects the user's freedom.

Performance is essential for infrastructure software. Modern infrastructure software depends heavily on components. Therefore, writing performant code in this environment requires deep understanding of the characteristics of such components. The course will help programmers to improve performance of their code by learning how to use these existing generic components effectively. In addition, it will teach them to extend the library with new high-performance components. Along the way, participants will learn how to use C++ as a high-performance language. The course will be taught interactively with the class discussing, discovering, and developing components together.

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.

-prefix-free lets you use only unprefixed CSS properties everywhere. It works behind the scenes, adding the current browser's prefix to any CSS code, only when it's needed.

The Visual Component Framework is an advanced C++ application framework that makes it easy to produce powerful Windows applications in C++. The framework is a based on a thoroughly modern C++ design and has built in support for Rapid Application Development (RAD). The framework is designed to be portable over multiple platforms and compilers, so you don't have to lose all that work that went into writing your app for a single platform!
