I'm still in the free trial period for Aaptive. Overall good, but they don't show any diagrams or videos for the exercises making it somewhat difficult for a n00b like myself. https://aaptiv.com/

UWP is definitely overkill if you go through the trouble of writing all the MVVM bindings as I mentioned. But, for really quick things, I can type XAML faster than I can try to align gui elements with a mouse. Then you get the same code-beh

I'm going to throw my vote in for the C#/UWP pairing. I am part of the prototype team where I work, and when I need to target Windows it's my weapon of choice. Sometimes I can't get access to something I need due to the

I would look into AllJoyn. I've been playing with it for an IoT application, but haven't attempted to build an Android client yet. https://allseenalliance.org/framework

I agree with you now. But I keep thinking back ~10 years when seeing a * (or ) was a moment for pause and speculation. I think it comes down to the address of an int* is a thing, which again makes sense to someone familiar, but to a newco

I do have access to glass, but I'm not going to hack on it at the office and the price tag is just too steep for me to justify taking a pair home to hack on in my free time (especially with their lack of prescription support). That see

I'm a game programmer, and I have an answer for my preference of Z being up: I want positive values going into the screen (away from the viewer) but I also want a right handed coordinate system (mostly because physics become more intui

My ideal language is C but with C++ templates, better type safety (no implicit casting to void*), and with a smarter "include" system (ie: something that isn't just copy/paste one source file into another. Although it wo

As a college student, I built a small form factor pc just so I could transport it as carry on when going home. Even though it fit in the dimensions specified on the airline website, I not allowed to carry it on (they didn't even bother

To correlate. I do much of my programming at home on two 23" monitors on a desktop, or at work on a 15" mbp and a 27" cinema display - and I absolutely love the excessive screen real-estate. But sometimes I am visiting family, at an airport

It has more ram than current generation consoles, otherwise it's relatively underpowered. It is running android which can be a blessing and a curse. NDK development hasn't been that enjoyable in my experience, but a dearth of programmers ar

I used to be a big fan of SCons, and now I tend to use Rake for my build system. To me the most useful thing in a build system is to have a straightforward and easy to understand interface for setting it up, and I'm much more comfortable wi

I used to be like that, always spending every moment coding or learning about ways to improve coding (and I did learn and improve a lot). But I also had absolutely no social life and was terribly overweight/out of shape. I still code in my

This past weekend I did something similar, but to learn about the new WinRT/Metro stuff in Windows 8. My github project is at: https://github.com/patm1987/PuxIrc

If I could find an easy way to ditch XCode and still do productive iOS development, I'd abandon it in a heartbeat. The one saving grace of it is that it supports a decent number of Emacs style text editing shortcuts (a side effect of OSX us

I am personally very fond of the Unicomp Customizer. It's relatively cheap for a buckling spring keyboard and very no-nonsense (it has just what you need, no more no less). I must say that, much like pencils, once I went mechanical I never

Sure there is. Primarily the requirement to have a runtime installed followed secondarily by the fact that many of the useful features are encapsulated in Apple specific libraries (or NeXT Step, although GNUStep takes care of that on many
