The Google Visualization API lets you access multiple sources of structured data that you can display, choosing from a large selection of visualizations. Google Visualization API enables you to expose your own data, stored on any data-store that is connected to the web, as a Visualization compliant datasource. Thus you can create reports and dashboards as well as analyze and display your data through the wealth of available visualization applications. The Google Visualization API also provides a platform that can be used to create, share and reuse visualizations written by the developer community at large.

Axiis is an open source data visualization framework designed for beginner and expert developers alike. Whether you are building elegant charts for executive briefings or exploring the boundaries of advanced data visualization research, Axiis has something for you. Axiis provides both pre-built visualization components as well as abstract layout patterns and rendering classes that allow you to create your own unique visualizations.

There are many changes and improvements in Visual Studio 2015. In this article, we will tell you how to use the new options in Visual Studio 2015 Context Menu.

I am making this post thinking "Better late than never", as I was supposed to make this post a long time ago, actually in the beta period of Visual Studio 2012, like I did with Visual Studio 2010, unfortunately I was held up with other stuff, personal and work related. This post remained as partially completed in my blog's drafts for a long time which I took and finished.

This page gives brief, visual reference for the most common commands in git. Once you know a bit about how git works, this site may solidify your understanding.

The article describes 10 sime-saving debugging techniques available in Visual Studio

Let's take a look at all the new stuff that developers now have the freedom to do with Visual Studio 2015 and .NET 4.6.

For the purpose of testing our C/C++ analyzer PVS-Studio, we often check various open-source projects and publish reports about bugs we have found. It is obvious that we seek projects of large sizes (hundreds of thousands of code lines), as there is little to be tested and caught in just a few dozens of files. We already had opportunities to test large collections consisting of hundreds of small open-source projects, for example sets of test samples for various SDKs and Frameworks. We are especially interested in checking such collections to see how the analyzer supports various specific code constructs, Visual C++ project subtypes, and so on.

I decided to fool around a bit with the plugin and the picture to attract your attention. A whole lot of articles on programming regularly appear on the Internet, but most of them are unfortunately brief and all about nothing. But we are sure that our material is extremely useful, and it will be a pity if it remains unnoticed. We tell our users in every detail about how to develop plugins in C# for the Visual Studio 2005/2008/2010/2012 development environment. This material is based on our own experience and describes some subtleties you won't read anywhere about.

Creating extension packages (plug-ins) for Microsoft Visual Studio IDE appears as quite an easy task at the first sight. There exist an excellent MSDN documentation, as well as various articles, examples and a lot of other additional sources on this topic. But, at the same time, it could also appear as a difficult task when an unexpected behavior is encountered along the way. Although it can be said that such issues are quite common to any programming task, the subject of IDE plug-in development is still not thoroughly covered at this moment. Part1

This article covers the extension of Visual Studio IDE through integration of a custom user toolwindow into the environment. Discussed are the issues of window registration and initialization in VSPackage and Add-In plug-in modules, hosting of user components and handling of window's events and states.

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!

Kodu is a visual programming language made specifically for creating games. It is designed to be accessible for children and enjoyable for anyone.

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!

"wxDev-C++ is an extension of Dev-C++ by Colin Laplace et. al. This program helps you to create dialogs and frames for wxWidgets visually using a form designer. With all the wonderful features of Dev-C++, wxDev-C++ is still being actively developed. The main aim of this project is to provide the wxWidgets community with a free, open-source, commercial-grade IDE/RAD tool for development with wxWidgets."

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

PVS-Studio 5.00: support of Embarcadero C++Builder, Windows Store and Windows Phone 8 applications in Visual Studio, and several hundreds of diagnostic rules

PVS-Studio is a static analyzer that detects errors in source code of C/C++/C++11 applications. The PVS-Studio tool integrates into the Visual Studio 2005/2008/2010 environment.
