Earlier this year I posted about which languages I planned on learning in 2011. A few months later I posted about my progress. Now that 2011 almost has come to an end it’s time to review and see if I actually met any of those goals. How exciting. I had listed 4 programming languages I [...]

A while ago I posted about Programming languages to learn in 2011. Now that we’re almost halfway into 2011 I though I do a little reflection of what languages I’ve learned so far… None! Although none isn’t exactly correct, I can’t say I have learned enough of any of the listed languages to program with. So [...]

As can be seen on my bucket list I’ve got quite a few programming languages I want and need to learn this year. Some pure out of interest. Some because I have to. Lua First on the list is Lua.

Just testing if my syntax highlighter works! #!/usr/bin/env perl use strict; use warnings;   print "Hello World!\n"; This seems to be working and after some changes to my themes’ stylesheet it looks a bit better.

So today at work I started working on a website that’s basically a clone of another one. The website to clone has a rather old code base but a fully working control panel with order processing, payment reminders, CRM and more. As the code base for the website itself was way too old I decided [...]

Last Thursday I’ve made my first purchase over at Amazon and was happily surprised it arrived today. That’s the fastest delivery time I’ve experienced from a webshop not located in my country! So kudos to that. Game Coding Complete, 3rd edition was what got delivered at my house. I’ve only skimmed through some pages and [...]
