Coding Day

I was working with C++ Standard Template Library (STL) library and when using the StringStream class I felt like we need this for .NET Yes we have a great class StringBuilder but we can’t use it as a Stream (because it is not).

After reading interesting posts about the fonts and colors in Visual Studio, I gave a try to some of them. Because I work quite a lot with Visual Studio, I realized that it is actually very important for the eyes and for productivity. Unfortunately none of the themes have pleased my friendly IDE concept, low […]

However with the cost of obtaining a fast computer and a fast network, cluster computing considered as a good alternative. High Performance Computing market grew rapidly, mainly because of the clusters intensified. […]

Power of Functional Programming

Functional programming is one the oldest of major programming paradigms. Functional languages have been with us for a while. Languages like Lisp, Scheme, ML, OCaml, Haskell, Erlang and F# have well built compilers and tools and large user and development communities. However, the early success of the imperative programming languages made the […]

The other day, I was struggling with my playlist on itunes. As you may know iTunes doesn’t have the notion of the folder structure of your mp3s. So if you do organise your music in folders you won’t have them in iTunes. I decided to write a script using the iTunes COM SDK for doing […]
