That "sourcemaking" website is great. Currently reading about The Blob.

Yeah, I also prefer paper to read, but that's not very ecologic nowadays =Dbadidea wrote:paul doe wrote:That "sourcemaking" website is great. Currently reading about The Blob. Unfortunately, the book is not available on real paper.
Are you interested in OOP? Here are some other great resources on the web:
Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software: the de-facto OOP Bible.
Agile Principles, Patterns and Practices in C#: pretty good book, too.
Yegor's Blog About Computers: Yegor's Blog has some pretty neat ideas, but I don't share all it's views and, especially, his zeal about 'True OOP' (in Java, can you imagine that? XD)
I'm currently coding something that will aid you in your simple database implementation. Once I finish, we can use it to implement a small and flexible database (among other neat things like serialization) with little effort. In the meantime, you can experiment and get yourself familiar with decoration and fluent interfaces via method chaining, because I'll use those patterns extensively in the implementation =D

Not sure if that is true. A book is a form of CO2 storage. Just never throw away or burn the book. Cut a tree, convert to books, grow a new tree. Any electronics device is continuously producing CO2.paul doe wrote:Yeah, I also prefer paper to read, but that's not very ecologic nowadays =D
Thanks, I am interested in a lot of (programming related) things. Which is probably why most of my software projects stall. But to grog OOP better could help a lot of my programs I think. In my last game (Tetris vs Mario (Work in progress)) the game class turned into a 'blob' it seems.paul doe wrote:Are you interested in OOP? Here are some other great resources on the web: ...
