A model (developed by Leonard Richardson) that breaks down the principal elements of a REST approach into three steps. These introduce resources, http verbs, and hypermedia controls.

This blog post will attempt to explain how to automatically detect your user’s time zone using JavaScript. If you’re in a hurry, you can skip directly to the demo or just grab the files

What I am going to show you is a way to keep “rolling your own” license key system while making working cracks harder for crackers to produce, and working keygens a thing of the past.

Welcome to the home page for the 97 Things Every Programmer Should Know project, pearls of wisdom for programmers collected from leading practitioners. You can read through the Contributions Appearing in the Book plus the Other Edited Contributions, browse Contributions in Progress, view the list of Contributors, and also learn How to Become a Contributor. If you would simply like to comment on a contribution, please also read How to Become a Contributor as some of it applies to you.

There is no overarching narrative: The collection is intended simply to contain multiple and varied perspectives on what it is that contributors to the project feel programmers should know. This can be anything from code-focused advice to culture, from algorithm usage to agile thinking, from implementation know-how to professionalism, from style to substance, etc.

Nice tutorial by John Resig on advanced JavaScript programming

Go is an attempt to combine the ease of programming of an interpreted, dynamically typed language with the efficiency and safety of a statically typed, compiled language. It also aims to be modern, with support for networked and multicore computing. Finally, it is intended to be fast: it should take at most a few seconds to build a large executable on a single computer. To meet these goals required addressing a number of linguistic issues: an expressive but lightweight type system; concurrency and garbage collection; rigid dependency specification; and so on. These cannot be addressed well by libraries or tools; a new language was called for.

Another wiki with WebOS programming info.

Awesome --- Google's programming style guides for Python, C++ and Obj-C

Elements of Programming provides a different understanding of programming than is presented elsewhere. Its major premise is that practical programming, like other areas of science and engineering,must be based on a solid mathematical foundation. The book shows that algorithms implemented in a real programming language, such as C++, can operate in the most general mathematical setting. For example, the fast exponentiation algorithm is defined to work with any associative operation. Using abstract algorithms leads to efficient, reliable, secure, and economical software.

Clutter is an open source software library for creating fast, visually rich and animated graphical user interfaces.

Clutter uses OpenGL (and optionally OpenGL ES for use on Mobile and embedded platforms) for rendering but with an API which hides the underlying GL complexity from the developer. The Clutter API is intended to be easy to use, efficient and flexible.

On this day 40 years ago, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to walk on the Moon. This was quite an achievement for mankind and a key milestone in world history.

To commemorate this event the Command Module code (Comanche054) and Lunar Module code (Luminary099) have been transcribed from scanned images to run on yaAGC (an open source AGC emulator) by the Virtual AGC and AGS project.

a new language in development by _why the lucky stiff.

"So why exactly are you learning this nascent do-nothing probably-broken language? For fun, right? I’m giving you till the end of sentence to come up with a good reason."

Damien Katz explains how he got to be the guy who gets paid to work on cool things.

For the past 5 years, CVE has been tracking the types of errors that lead to publicly reported vulnerabilities, and periodically reporting trends on a limited scale. The primary goal of this study is to better understand research trends using publicly reported vulnerabilities.

When projecting onto an arbitratry 3d surface, no matter how the projector is positioned and oriented towards the surface the resulting image will mostly look distorted. Note though that there is one point from which the projected image looks perfectly aligned, that is: the position of the projector.

The photos below show a simple sculpture of 2 boxes with a windows-desktop projected flat on it. While in the left photo the projected image is distorted, in the right photo, taken from the projectors point of view, the projected image looks correctly.

Python Audio Tools are a collection of audio handling programs which work from the command line. These include programs for CD extraction, track conversion from one audio format to another, track renaming and retagging, track identification, CD burning from tracks, and more.

Mitch Allen, Palm's Software CTO, gives a preview into application development with the Mojo SDK.

MMPython is a Media Meta Data retrieval framework. It retrieves metadata from mp3, ogg, avi, jpg, tiff and other file formats. Among others it thereby parses ID3v2, ID3v1, EXIF, IPTC and Vorbis data into an object oriented struture.

(how badly do I wish that there had been something like this when I was young, or that we lived close enough to PGH to take the kids to this...)

Just as true literacy in English means being able to write as well as read, true literacy in software demands not only knowing how to use commercial software tools, but how to create new software for oneself and others. Today, most people are still woefully limited in their ability to create their own software. They would like to make their own software tools, but think that programming is “too hard.” The problem, it turns out, may not be programming itself so much as the ways in which it is conventionally taught.

Chef is a programming language in which programs look like recipes.

A grep program configured the way I like it.

I wrote grin to help me search directories full of source code. The venerable GNU grep and find are great tools, but they fall just a little short for my normal use cases.

For 50 years, almost all experiences have shown that traditional waterfall development methods result in a poor user experience. The reason is simple: requirement specifications are always wrong.

My response is behaviour-driven development (BDD). It has evolved out of established agile practices and is designed to make them more accessible and effective for teams new to agile software delivery. Over time, BDD has grown to encompass the wider picture of agile analysis and automated acceptance testing.

(this is obviously talking about those OTHER programmers, but...)

Awesome bibliography of software development books.

Despite the occasional funkiness, the power of the ActionScript language tools along with the hybrid type checking (mostly static for tool support in Flex Builder, but dynamic whenever it's convenient) makes for a programming experience that I find much m

SFMT is a new variant of Mersenne Twister (MT) introduced by Mutsuo Saito and Makoto Matsumoto in 2006. SFMT is a Linear Feedbacked Shift Register (LFSR) generator that generates a 128-bit pseudorandom integer at one step. SFMT is designed with recent p

This site is about Arc, a new dialect of Lisp. It's unfinished, but usable, so we decided to release what we have so far.

Io is a dynamic prototype-based programming language. The ideas in Io are mostly inspired by Smalltalk[1] (all values are objects), Self[2] (prototype-based), NewtonScript[3] (differential inheritance), Act1[4] (actors and futures for concurrency), Lisp[5

I have recently recommended to a large publishing client that they adopt RELAX NG as the basis of the formal definitions of their content, in preference to W3C XML Schema Definition Language (WXS). There are lots of individual bits of information on why R

Cool system for parallel processing; the interesting thing is that the source language is essentially the same as that used in GraphViz

Anti-Grain Geometry (AGG) is a general purpose graphical toolkit written completely in standard and platform independent C++. It can be used in many areas of computer programming where high quality 2D graphics is an essential part of the project. For exam

I would be willing to place a bet that most computer programmers have, on multiple occasions, expressed an opinion about the desirability of certain kinds of type systems in programming languages. Contrary to popular conception, that's a great thing! Prog

It's about designing software. See, it seems like there's a good way to design software. A best way, even. And nobody does it. Well, a few people do, but even in those rare instances, I think it's accidental half the time.

The term 'Mock Objects' has become a popular one to describe special case objects that mimic real objects for testing. Most language environments now have frameworks that make it easy to create mock objects. What's often not realized, however, is that moc
