    Practical Programming Projects

    This is my first time doing programming outside of the console project and web development, so I was wondering what some good programs would be to create. I like doing practical work that I can reuse later, or will enhance my experience on the computer. I don't have a Customer Relationship...

    What are some good OOP web languages with pointers

    I've been working with PHP for a bit over a year now, and I think it's pretty fun. But I think that there are some more powerful tools out there too for building web sites. I can program in C++, but I've never used it to develop web pages though. I'm not opposed to learning Java, Perl...

    OpenLaszlo

    I haven't ever done any flash development before, but I would like to get involved in that area a bit just to see how it is. I don't think I can justify spending the money on Flash if I won't use it regularly (I know I can download the trial too), but I was wondering if anyone had done any...

    Does anybody know of software for running dual monitors that will make it possible for your monitors to be "connected" on both sides? Normally they are set up so you can move your mouse and it will only go to the other monitor from one side, the other being a "wall". If you have heard of...

    PCLinuxOS

    Well, I have to say, there is something about Linux that makes me question my nerdiness. The fact is, no matter how many times I have tried switching to Linux, I just couldn't do it. I have tried switching over because of Microsoft and their methods, but that was probably more during my teen...
