A historical collection of our writing.
Having taken some time off, I am excited to start Tech Tuesdays back up. We will continue looking at programming and the next topic are more complex data types which are also referred to as data structures. If you have been following the programming series, you may recall that we already had three […] Read more (opens Continuations in a new tab)
I am back from a 2 week break from pretty much all things Internet. With relatively few exceptions I stayed away from email, checking in, blogging, tweeting, reading Techmeme and all the other things I usually do during the course of a day. So what did I do instead and what did I learn from […] Read more (opens Continuations in a new tab)
I will be taking most of the rest of August off from writing daily blog posts. I am largely doing this because I will also be unplugging from the constant information drip. This is the information equivalent of a purge diet. My theory is that we are mal-adapted to the supersaturated information […] Read more (opens Continuations in a new tab)
In the last two Tech Tuesdays we have learned about how functions let us define new words in a programming language and how arguments and other local variables are restricted to the scope of the function. Today we will take another look at arguments and how exactly information is passed into the […] Read more (opens Continuations in a new tab)
Dalton Caldwell announced yesterday on his blog and on Twitter that app.net has reached its initial funding goal. I look forward to seeing what happens next and am watching the api spec on Github. Here is what I believe would be interesting to see: a clear roadmap for embracing emerging standards […] Read more (opens Continuations in a new tab)
Last Tech Tuesday we learned about functions as a way to define our own words in a programming language. We saw that functions take arguments and return results back to where the function was used in the program. We refer to this transfer of control of program execution from the current code to the […] Read more (opens Continuations in a new tab)
