I post this not because of how special it is because it really is just another introduction into OOP. But I post it because I really think that this is officially the 1,000,000 article introducing OOP to everyone. Well I guess it doesn’t hurt anyone since many programmers don’t even get passed this step (*cough*JC*cough).

It just wouldn’t be fair if I didn’t let you know when Part II was coming out. So here it is. This time they offer much more helpful information than Part I (not that it wasn’t helpful). Permissions are the central part to security in the *nix environment so you better make sure you know […]

.Net Rocks!

No I am no saying that, although .Net is really cool, but that is the name of the show you can download from MSDN. I honestly haven’t watched it yet since an 18 page paper is calling my name, so if anyone gets a chance to view I would appreciate some feedback. Sounds to be […]

Windows, Apple, and Linux Desktops

Pretty much any forum I have frequented has had a “Post your desktop” thread. In this case I have followed those threads at ArsTechnica for quite a while now and thought I would share them with you. It is amazing what some people do with their desktops. I don’t even see mine but once every […]
