A few months ago I developed a Scrubs Quotes application for Facebook. This is a simple app that displays a random quote from the show on your profile. One of the first lessons/ideas being taught to me in the Software Engineering Masters program here at the University of Scranton is that when you develop software, you should make it as…
I don’t do too many things on a whim, but the other night when I saw a group dedicated to having a Scrubs Quotes Facebook application developed, I couldn’t help myself. As a big fan of Scrubs, as well as a developer, I thought I might try my hand at it. I tinkered a little with Facebook apps and it…
A problem that all web developers people in the computer field face is security. When creating your application, website, server, you have to take into account what kind of security measures you must take to protect yourself and your users. However, you have to make sure that these measures don’t horribly inhibit the users. Twice over the last couple of…
The Winn Site is a project I have been working on for a couple of months now. The guys wanted a brand new site- the one they had was, umm, bad. They also wanted an online catalog that they could update, along with the ability to update tournament dates. With that in mind, I got started. The design I gave…
This semester I am taking a class where it was recently decided the primary language will be C. While I did dabble in C a little bit last semester, I didn’t do all that much. This evening I did our first assignment, which was a simple “Hello World” program in C, programmed on a UNIX machine I telneted into. Here…
For all the people out there with Facebook, an online social site for college and now high school students all across America, it got some new features. CollegeV2 has an extensive write up on it here, but I wanted to add my 2 cents in. First is the Facebook API. An API is an “Application Programming Interface,” which basically amounts…
After dabbling in PHP for some time, and writing an image upload script about 8 months ago, I would like to post it here, with a short tutorial. I have recently reused the script and a friend of mine asked how he would go about doing such a thing. My upload script, to begin, is a function in PHP that…
As many of you might know, I was a big hater of MySpace. This was because of all the emo, 12 going on 20 year olds that infest its system, as well as the horribly (HORRIBLY) done layouts. I mean, they break every rule in the “Book on Good Design,” that is- picture as background, a million animated GIFs, embedded…
I am not a huge proponent of Javascript. However, I recognize that it is becoming more and more powerful and used, especially since AJAX has become more popular. With a new redesign of one of my sites, I wanted to do something different and cool- so I looked to 24 Ways. There I found a nice tutorial on using the…
This semester I am taking a class called Machine Organization and Assembly Language. What this amounts to is learning how to program on lower levels than Java and C++. Instead I am [currently] programing right to the hardware, or one level higher. It’s interesting and in some ways more difficult. While there is a lot to know in higher levels…
