You can amortize a mortgage or various types of loans, and you can amortize assets based on their value and what their value will be in so many periods of time. Many newbies on our boards have asked about this very project as part of the computer science courses and ...

One of the funnest things about being fluent in multiple languages is porting code from one language to another or in my case, porting a piece of code to 6 or 7 languages and allowing any newbie the opportunity to learn algorithms despite their language. It also makes it great to see the differences between languages and some challenges (as we will see with our Java example). On this entry ...
Ok, what the hell is with all this talk about design patterns?

The answers may be "They are gossips", "Authors have nothing else to write about", and "Yes they will make things a bit easier for you in the ...
This type of question plagues the DIC board and dominates the PHP forum most of the time. How does one go about building a PHP game like ___________ (fill in the blank)? I have had my fair share of web based PHP gaming startups and will tell you more about the leg work needed into creating a solid game foundation in PHP.... on this entry of the Programming Underground! During my ...
