What I’ve Posted
What I’m Doing
Understanding OOP
Object-Oriented Programming, or OOP, is a programming method that utilizes the creation and implementation of object classes. Object classes can be customized and instantiated as many times as needed. For example, let’s say we are programming a system for a bank (albeit a very simple one). Well, a bank is going to consist of customers. Each customer is going to have his or her own bank account. With OOP, we can create a bank account class that will give each customer a unique account. When you create a class, its constuctor generally takes parameters. For instance, a bank account constructor might take an integer for an account number, a string for a name, and a double for a balance. (more…)
Clarion Media, Black Jack, and Zombies
We scratched the new design for Clarion Media last minute. It sucks, but the reality was that it just wasn’t flexible enough for our needs. The good news is that we’ve already got a design we’re going to move forward with, and it should actually see the light of day (fingers crossed). The funny thing is is that it’s a design I whipped up in about an hour. It was not refined whatsoever whereas the previous design–the one we canned–I labored over for about a week making adjustments. Hopefully we’ll see this thing live by the end of this month around the time wapClix launches. We also may begin work on programming a new client interface where clients can manage projects and other parts of their account, but that’s for another post. (more…)
Quick Update
I haven’t posted in a while, mainly due to the fact that I’ve been pretty busy recently, particularly with some clients. Anyways, I just want to let you know that I have some tutorials lined up for Photoshop, XHTML/CSS, Java, JavaScript and maybe another 3ds Max one and also a brief overview of design principles. I’m not sure in what order I will do them in, but I thought I’d at least give a quick heads up on what’s on deck. Hopefully I’ll get a couple out this week.
Stay tuned!
Fraction Calculator in Java (Part 2)
Click here for part 1 (creating the fraction class)
In the first part, we created a class that would allow us to create fraction objects and add, subtract, multiply and divde them. Now it’s time to create an application that can actually be used to do these operations. The app will be very simple with no GUI and basic int and string input, but this will allow us to learn some of the basic concepts regarding these two things. Note: if you are coming to this tutorial without going through the first part, I recommend doing that or at least downloading the source code I provided in the last part. Otherwise, without the fraction class, your app won’t build. That being said, let’s begin. (more…)
Completed!
This website is now completed. I finally finished up on the “about” page and added the “work” pages. “Work” includes a portfolio of some of the websites I’ve done, some of the graphic design and print design I’ve done, and some of my articles. Go check it out! Although I have to admit I haven’t cleared up the IE6 issues yet (IE is such a headache). Also, the second part of that Java tutorial might not be going up as soon as I hoped, but my goal is to get it up by the weekend. I’m also planning a full-fledged website tutorial that will take you through the process of designing a website, coding it, etc. I’ve been thinking of doing a 3DS Max tutorial as well. Who knows when I’ll actually start working on either of those though. The past two weeks have been pretty busy for me.
Fraction Calculator in Java (Part 1)
Click here for part 2 (creating the app)
I’ve been doing some Java programming lately. My latest project was creating an application that adds, subtracts, multiples and divides fractions and reduces them to simplest form. It’s a very basic app, no GUI and simple string and integer input. The first part of this tutorial will involve creating a class for fraction objects while the second part will be building the actual application. Perfect for any beginner programmers and a good tutorial to learn some of the basic fundamentals of Java and object-oriented programming, so let’s begin! (more…)
Just a Heads Up
I just wanted to give a heads up that I’m working on getting this website compatible with Internet Explorer 6. To my amazement, there are still some people using that browser, so I’ll do my best to get the website…presentable…in the very least, as soon as I can.
Also, I’m working on a Java tutorial for beginners that I’m hoping to get up later this week, so stay tuned!
