C# coding standards and Best Programming Practices - C#, VB.NET, ASP.NET
by bcpbcp (via)Believe it, majority of the programmers write 'Working Code', but not 'Efficient Code'. As we mentioned in the beginning of this tutorial, do you want to become the 'Most Valued Professional' of your company? Writing 'Efficient Code' is an art and you must learn and practice it.
Tableless - Ajax Demo
by bcpbcpAjax é a sigla para "Asynchronous Javascript and XML". Se você entende inglês, pode ler uma excelente explicação do assunto no artigo de Jesse James Garrett: Ajax: A New Approach to Web Applications. Não é uma coisa nova, e eu já falei um pouco sobre isso no meu blog. A idéia é utilizar Javascript para transformar suas páginas em aplicações, de modo que não precise recarregar a tela cada vez que o usuário clicar em alguma coisa. Você pode recarregar apenas a área que precisa ser alterada pela ação realizada.

Processing XML with the XML Pull Parser
by bcpbcp (via)The DOMParser is probably the most commonly used Java object for reading and validating XML documents. The DOMParser reads the XML and (depending on the parser initialization) will validate the XML against an XML schema. If the XML is valid, the DOMParser will return a Document (DOM) object, which represents the XML as a tree structure. The XML can be processed by walking this tree. An example of how the DOMParser can be applied to processing arithmetic expressions in XML format is discussed on a companion web page.

LosersJuegos - Usando seno y coseno
by bcpbcp (via)En este articulo discutiremos algunas técnicas de programación de juegos, todas en torno a un tema central: las funciones seno y coseno.
Se explicará el concepto de seno, coseno, vectores, tangentes y algunos efectos especiales. Veremos como hacer misiles direccionales y como trabajan las rotaciones de bitmap.
Comenzaré con lo más básico, pero luego cubriré técnicas de programación de juegos un poco mas avanzadas. Puede descargar todos los códigos de ejempo (12 en total) desde aquí. Todos se verificaron con anterioridad utilizando el compilador DJGPP. Si usted tiene DJGPP, puede descomprimir los fuentes y el makefile en un directorio y correr "make".

A PyGame Working Example: Starting a Game
by bcpbcpIn PyGame for Game Development, I showed you the very basics of PyGame's graphical side. However, creating a game with PyGame requires a bit more. All the concepts described before need to be glued together somehow, and new concepts will need to be introduced in order to create a functional game. In this article, we'll do just that by tackling a working example of PyGame's capabilities—a Python-powered game.
