General YPN >> What do you want from a Tut!
Posted by sacah on 22:23:00 07-29-2002
Ok, YPN seems to have died down a bit, this post will try pick things up again.
Please reply with things you would like a tut written about, or certain things you have found dificult to learn previously.

Then others who know the answer to those problems, or remember goin through the same difficulty and who overcame it, can write a tut and submit it.

This should help pick YPN activity up a bit.

hi everyone ,
u'r right sacah things have died down, at ypn , especially on the messagebords, personally i am waiting for the new upload feature that was going to be implemented some time soon, as we are now being hosted on one of the FSF servers, that should take eliminate one of the many dead links here.
So when are we going to see the new upload feature .. maybe that will help liven things up around here ..

I'd like to have some very good compression tutorials on YPN. E.g. about Huffmann compression, how JPEG/MPEG works, GIF, ZIP, RAR, LHA, etc. etc. etc. [addsig]

One of these days I'm going to write an ASP tutorial. [addsig]

anything realated to gfx. 2d, 3d, concepts, apis.. dont matter, i just dont see any of it on here.

If I get the time in the next few days I could write a tut about how a 3d graphics card works

Before I get started on Visual WebDev (WebEdit 2) I will finish up my DirectDraw tutorials and maybe write on or two ASP tuts. [addsig]

maybe you can make an basic tut(not Visual Basic)for Newbies in Basic (not in Program)

uh? Henning:
what do you mean? :/

Posted by dxprog on 23:38:00 08-01-2002
I guess he means BASIC but I'm not sure about the "program" part. [addsig]
Posted by KaGez on 01:27:00 08-02-2002
that last "program" part is what confused me ...

What language, I could do them, like a white paper, explaining how they work, but no source code would be included?

This ok.

I'd also like to have some small example... php code would be good enough, since I know that you hate C/C++

i mean an Basic tut not for newbies in Programming [addsig]
Posted by KaGez on 13:01:00 08-03-2002
ahhh, ok, you mean a BASIC tutorial, but no "basic" programming tutorial?
I think it'd be better to write a VB tutorial ...

BASIC can get pretty advanced. Considering it's a fourth generation language it can get to be pretty darn low level. [addsig]
Posted by KaGez on 22:51:00 08-03-2002
but I think nowadays you can do more in windows with VB, or not? I mean, I think there are very few peoples using a console in windows these days...

You're confusing me...
How does being low-level make a language more `advanced'? I was sure that it meant quite the opposite.

Think about it,

hhhmmm.... in some aspect that is true... if it is low-level it means it's complicated and hard to usece, hence _not_ advanced .... now after thinking about that it makes sence ...

Posted by dxprog on 02:41:00 08-05-2002
I meant advanced as in complicated. [addsig]

Henning: I think Fabs was going to continue his Basic tutorial, advancing to a higher level... uh, well, Fabs, how's that?

I would like to see a GTK tutorial, perhaps SDL... and something graspable about unix sockets in C.
Posted by KaGez on 15:17:00 08-05-2002
I think there was somebody who wanted to write a socket tutorial some time ago... maybe it already is there... check it with the search engine
Posted by ComWizz on 09:56:00 08-08-2002
I agree with Peter - SDL, GTK and newbie's UNIX C Socket tutorials, I would love.
Posted by KaGez on 12:50:00 08-08-2002
guys, use the search engine.... there are already 2 or 3 GTK+ snippets, well commented....
[addsig]
Posted by Peter on 20:14:00 08-10-2002
Yeah, I know those, they're excellent. However, why not have some more, advancing further?

And low-level languages are indeed advanced concerning memory handling etc, so they're not just complicated and useless.

Speaking of gtk, is anybody into gtkmm (C++ version of gtk+) programming? [addsig]
