Scherererer	Articles are a good way of attracting new members. If they can find useful information, they will keep coming here. I think that the articles section could use a little booster. So, in light of that, i have created this topic. Are there any articles you would like to see added? Is there any area where you think you could contribute? I can make articles in, if you are interested: C# or Java - General/Basics/Advanced Techniques/Tips Database programming (SQL, C#) ASP.NET Sharepoint site creation and development Setting up IIS Windows Mobile Programming/Compact Framework (C#) Socket/Network Programming (C#) This community has a lot of collective grey matter, and I think it would be great if we all contributed to this site so others can get access to our knowledge! -=-=- YouTube Twitter Computer Science Series: Logic (pt1) (part 2) (part 3) 2's Complement Mathematics: Basic Differential Calculus

dna	C# would be good since MS just released XNA for free. -=-=- DNA

HoboBen	Hmm, good idea. I should write up about some of the Linux stuff that I play with. But yeah, if anyone writes any, they'd be very interesting... and they'd make great Google bait for grabbing new members too Maybe if there's a new category for misc/software/other or something though, because all the topics are coding/design related, whereas I don't know where things like how to do svn/version control, running your program with wine/emulators, how to use such-and-such software and stuff would go, if you get what I'm saying. -=-=- blog \| work \| code \| more code

Nolan	Socket and Network programming with C# gets my vote! -=-=- nolandc.com

Afr0	Hm. I'll see if I can churn out a small C# networking article when I get time. Edit: And please learn from my mistake everyone - do not make any tutorials about networking in Blitz... at least not for serverside networking. It isn't worth it. -=-=- Afr0 Games Project Dollhouse on Github - Please fork!

power mousey	I could write some articles too. As well as share articles written by others and reference the links.

Toaster	I can write some too. I always wanted to share how to do bump/specular mapping with b3d! -Toaster

Scherererer	Excelent! Lets get writing! Wrote one! www.socoder.net/index.php?article=12159 -=-=- YouTube Twitter Computer Science Series: Logic (pt1) (part 2) (part 3) 2's Complement Mathematics: Basic Differential Calculus

power mousey	okay, Instinct what would you like or want me to write about? if it has to do with computers/programming it will go in the articles and tutorials sections. others will either be blogs or off-topics.

Toaster	Okay I wrote one for bump mapping if you see any grammar errors or programming mistakes let me know. I am sure there's some in there.. socoder.net/index.php?article=12179 -Toaster

Scherererer	Awesome Toaster! let's keep them coming!

power mousey	um nevermind.

Phoenix	...if you see any grammar errors or programming mistakes let me know. I took the liberty to remove your grammar errors (use commas!) Besides that, good work Instinct and Toaster I should probably write something too, while we're at it. A slight request for Jay: could you make the text boxes taller when writing articles? Yes, I know: I could add a user style sheet to do that for me, but it's much neater to have it by default.

Toaster	Thanks Phoenix I happen to be terrible at English. Even though its my first language. I am going to write another one in a few days a follow up explaining how to do specular mapping so keep a look out for it.. -Toaster

Jayenkai	Sure.. IMO, though, it's usually best to write articles inside notepad.. Much easier that way, and a nice place to save your articles as you're building them up. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Scherererer	the community would love your contribution lyons! remember, its not just us, the idea is to also bring in new people and help people that pop questions into google. -=-=- YouTube Twitter Computer Science Series: Logic (pt1) (part 2) (part 3) 2's Complement Mathematics: Basic Differential Calculus

Afr0	Hm, it seems I won't have time to do an article in the near future, but I am currently working on an online launcher type program for MMO games in C#, and it seems to be progressing quite nicely. Once I've figured out all the details, I might make an article based around it not too far into the future. The gist of it is that it relieves you of having to setup an advanced user interface running in full screen for your game to log on users. Instead, users log on via the launcher, which is a Win32 type app (might upgrade it to use Windows WCF later, which could make it look quite sexy), and then the launcher will launch the game's executable and let it know the user's login credentials either by way of program parameters or storing the credentials in a file. -=-=- Afr0 Games Project Dollhouse on Github - Please fork!
