How about a distance converter with a menu driven convert from/to. For instance convert light-years to miles, or millimeters to inches, yards to rods and so on.

To get started with programming concepts I would recommend Python. Python borrows a lot from C, C++ and Java, also makes it easy to write and test your programs. Once you feel comfortable with...

Need a bit more info. Do you want to start the game from the server?

Darn, I have seen those little program codes float around and never saved one. You need to google, it should uncover one of them. Got to narrow it down from just "wallpaper" though, or you get 99%...

The .NET Framework combines a number of languages. If you want to create Windows GUI programs, C# would be the choice.

I parked a number of Csharp snippets on DaniWeb, click the Code Snippets...

The problem with google is that it gives you 99% BS.
Try:

Darn, one of the little guys just fell out of the side of my PC. Got to use more...

I recommend Visual C# .Net. You can pick up the whole package for less than $100 (amazon.com). You need Windows on your computer, preferably XP and a good amount of free disk space.

A jpeg picture encrypter/decrypter I wrote for a friend, after his little brother spread the somewhat compromising digital pictures he took of his fiancee amongst his play buddies. Sorry, I don't...

Most browsers leave a heck of a trail all over your drive, there is no escape! So use your best judgement what you are browsing for ...

My advice, learn C++
When you learn C++ you also learn C, Java and C# to a fair extent, since they are so closely related. Sort of like classical English at Harvard and street English in certain...

Professors that don't know how to teach are part of academic life. Get a tutor, or drop the course and hope somebody else will actually know how to teach it later on.

Always a hot topic!!!

Learning to program is like learning to play the piano, it has to be a mixture of study and doing. Read the book to get the concepts, and when you get bored, go and take some existing code and...

I posted a Calculator (Windows GUI) in the C snippets, not the worlds easiest code in C. Look at it with an open mind! If you like, I could send something simpler like a clone of the the excel...

Well some folks are helpful, others like to complain. BCX is not an interpreter. By the way I like your code snippets. Is there way I can post some BCX snippets there? Greetings from the Sin City...

To get your feet wet, go from basic to C/C++.

I like BCX, a free basic to C translator. The generated C/C++ code that is then compiled. You don't have to get involved with C/C++ right away....

:o The best compiler may be a preprocessor that uses a set of macros and easy to understand code to write your program, then translates this to C/C++ code that one of those free C/C++ compiler can...
