Software Creation Mystery

Attractive Words ha?

Who wouldn't be intrigued by mysteries? everyone likes his own kind of mysteries, if you ask me.

But relax, this is not some kind of a "Super Sleuth" website.

http://softwarecreation.org/ is not a technical resource exactly, but it's a resource that technical people, software developers in particular, need.

It starts by illustrating basic concepts of computer programming, and then it dives into subjects like how should a programmer communicate with other people (fits for team leaders, learn how to convey ideas to your team).

It's an interesting blog, it contains interesting ideas.

I think I'm gonna go deeper and read some more in it :)

More About Instrumentation

OK, don't judge me :)

It seems that as an instrumentation engineer, I have a thing for automation and measurement web sites.

I ran into http://globalautomation.info/ through its creator's profile on facebook.
it seems that he's an  instrumentation engineer located in India. He calls himself simply "Instrumentation Engineer".

For beginners, you can enjoy the wealth of tutorials this website provides.
And there is a bunch of pdf's that are free to download in both the Downloads, and the Tutorials section.

It also has a corner for job openings in the instrumentation field, a ranking for the top instrumentation companies, a ticker for the industry's news, and a link to a blog managed by the site's creator.

I'd say it is a simple and useful site. I hope you'll like it.

Is Google The New Microsoft ?

That's not what I'm writing about, this is a header that I bumped into when I landed on the homepage of http://www.infoworld.com/

It is similar to some of the tech news web sites that I reviewed.
It is full of tech news, yet it also contains white papers, a sweet test center, web casts, blogs, and a "Deep Dives" tab that discusses subjects such as "Cloud computing" in a deep dive manner.

 

Check it out.

Develop, Discover, and Design

An attractive motto indeed.

When I first landed at http://www.netmag.co.uk/ I thought it was all about Microsoft's .net technologies (seeing that ".net" logo on the top of their home page).
But as I navigated through, it turned out to be a website for a hard copy sold magazine and a wonderful resource for web design and development.

The home page will show you the latest additions to the website, but if you click on the "Develop" tab, you'll see a group of articles showing you how things are made, and I'm not talking about beginners tutorials.

The articles are categorized according to the subject.
for example, if the article is about iPhone applications, you'll see a "/Mobile/" tag at the article's header.

The "Discover" tab, is more about telling you about what is around.
What would the new apple iPad will mean to you as a web designer?
You will see the articles tagged as in the "Design" section that contains tutorials, and different other articles.

If you are a web designer or developer, I'm sure you'll enjoy http://www.netmag.co.uk/

Go To The Control and Automation World!

GoToControl.com is the English version of a similar Chinese website.

Specialized in the Instrumentation and process automation world.

Full of news and highlights.

It also contains a wealth of white papers, and what I personally think is important to instrumentation engineers, an "Applications" sections, where you can check out various solutions from the real world.

Game Dev

I'm not experienced in game programming.

But I must say it is an interesting subject, and it has been ever since I played my first video game in the eighties.

http://www.gamedev.net/ is one of the sites that are dedicated for game programming.
it addresses a wide range of developers including beginners.

It has a link for gaming jobs, books, and many other useful resources.

So if you were considering game programming as a career, or as a hobby, you should keep http://www.gamedev.net/ in your favorites.
