My name is Rob Collyer, I lay eyes upon ASP years ago and have been heavily coding since.

If you want to display numbers from a database on your web page, chances are you will have to do some formatting to get your data to display the way you want it to

You have your database connection established and now you want to display data from your database on your page.

I will summarize the workflow I used for one of my characters with lots of images and some print-screens directly from the applications used (Maya/Mudbox/Photoshop, etc ...), also at the end I will provide some info about tangent space normal maps so you could think of this tutorial as primarily normal mapping related stuff.

A very simple way of doing the index.php?page=page_here. Includes a few configuration options.

In this tutorial you’ll learn how to censor the swear words and profanity on your website.

This tutorial will teach you how to create a simple RSS 2.0 compliant feed from a MySQL (or others with a few small changes) database.

I went milling about for source for progress bars that would be suitably embedded within a Ruby on Rails application I'm working on and came up with nada. Sure, sure there are lots of bars that have to do with live uploading and whatnot but nothing that grabbed me with the interface I was looking for (call function, return data).

Hereafter, we discuss the difference between using Gtk+ from C and using Ruby/Gtk

There are lots of reasons to like Ruby. It's a pure object oriented language. The syntax is elegant, and the use of blocks creates a novel feel. Another reason to like Ruby is its scalability. I don't mean scalability in the performance sense, but in regards to how you can code simple Ruby macros to solve small problems and also use Ruby in its object oriented form to support very large or complex...

We chose to represent the addressbook as an array because arrays have an associated order. Say that we want to change that order. Suppose, for instance, that we want to sort the array alphabecially. How do we do that?

Now we will learn how to do things with the address book. Especifically, we will learn how to print and how to sort the addressbook.

An addressbook is a fairly complex structure. It contains several contacts, and each one has an associated name, address and so on.

Hashes are a generalization of arrays. Instead of only permitting integer indices, as in array[3], hashes allow any object to be used as an "index". So, you can write hash["name"]

An iterator is a special kind of method. It is a method that lets you access items one at a time.
