Graphing calculator for Android | Widgets Lab

Yes, God answers prayer!!!

Get a working TI-83, TI-85 or TI-86 Emulator for your phone.
This is awesome! Anyone can use these TI Emulators right on their phone and have success with it…they may have just avoided the $100 extortion price that Texas Instruments gets for these calculators.

PicZoom: A Photo Viewer created in OpenGL. - CodeProject

Introduction to Article

This article explains implementation details of PicZoom application [A photo viewer with some functionalities are similar to the Picasa Photo Viewer]. PicZoom is an MFC Dialog based application, and OpenGL is used for drawing. Shader programs are not used for display, and therefore I hope PicZoom will run without a high-end graphics card.

Extending Visual Studio Setup Project - CodeProject

Introduction to Article

One of the things I hear all the time when companies talks for building reliable Windows Installer (MSI) for their product is –> Visual Studio Setup Project is not enough and we need much much more, my first response is – Wait, VS Setup project is not like Advanced Installer, InstallShield but still can do a lot more outside the box.
Setup projects are used to create Windows Installer (.msi) files, which are used to distribute your application for installation on another computer or Web server. There are two types of setup projects.
In this article I’ll show how to extend your VS Setup Project and help to understand how VS Setup makes it easy for developers to build reliable Windows Installer (MSI) in Visual Studio. (All my screenshots will take from Visual Studio 2010.)

Silverlight 4 with Duplex and Sql Notifications - CodeProject

Introduction Article

If you have ever tried to create a push mechanism, originating from the database to the services and then to the browser - it can be complicated enough, but having a Silverlight embedded browser application, makes it that little more difficult.
If you do a online search for that type of application you will find numerous articles on Silverlight and Duplex or Silverlight and Sql Notifications - but Silverlight with Duplex and SQL Notations - so little content to be found.

Fast String Sort in C# and F# - CodeProject

Article Introduction

The generic sort algorithm in .Net does not perform well on sorting strings. The reason for that is that it performs too many character comparisons while comparing strings.
There is a better algorithm described by Prof. Robert Sedgewick called multikey quicksort. Sedgewick is known for his developer friendly books on algorithms and his approach to empirically study algorithm performance. In the case of soring strings, Sedgewick provides a reference implementation of string sort in C:
Sedgewick's Reference Implementation of Sorting Strings
His implementation is quite hard to understand but achieves excellent performance.

Android 3D Carousel - CodeProject

Introduction to article

For a while I was looking for 3D carousel control for Android platform. The only one I found was UltimateFaves at [1]. But as it turned out it uses OpenGL. And it’s not open source. I thought if it is possible to avoid a use of OpenGL. Continuing my investigations I stamped on Coverflow Widget at [2]. And it uses standard Android 2D libraries. So the idea was the same – to use Gallery class for the carousel. The Coverflow Widget just rotates images and I wanted to rotate all group of them. Well, at least it implies the use of simple trig methods. More complicated stuff goes with the Gallery class. If you’d look through the article about Coverflow Widget at [3] you’d see a bunch of problems, such as unavailability of default scope variables in AbsSpinner and AdapterView classes. So I went the same way and rewrote some classes. And the Scroller class will be replaced by the Rotator class wich looks like Scroller but it rotates the group of images.

Convert a folder full of JPG's into an AVI video file. - CodeProject

A Trust 120 SpaceCam webcamImage via Wikipedia
Introduction to the article

A simple VB.Net application that combines a folder full of JPG images into an AVI video file. The source project is a complete Windows Forms application that allows for immediate use of the program as intended.
My specific requirement was to capture web cam images at regular intervals and then automate the creation of a video on a daily basis. The individual images were displayed on an ASPX web page (updated every minute), and the nightly build of all the images into a video meant that a whole days activities could be reviewed with ease in Windows Media Player.

(Note: the automation aspect is not included in the source project; but that's something you can easily add for yourself if required.)

Eureka! Web-based Images in App Inventor Apps

I've been having a big problem getting web-based images to show up Goggle App Inventor apps. I've been capturing the pictures urls correctly from RSS feeds. I found out that the issue was that the string was coming out in quotes. When the blocks get the the urls from Python they have quotes around it. If I strip the quotes off the string, the images display great in the app. Whew! Only took 2 months to figure that out!!!!
