Well, I'll try to think of something... But, are you going to make a new forum, something like "General Programming Tutorials"? Or are you just going to post them in this forum? How about what Object Orientation is all about? |

How about what Object Orientation is all about? I'd just post them here. Asfor your request... that's a big topic, but I'll see what I can do. |

Great job all around wtd. It struck me as I was going through your OOP introduction that it might be useful to create a glossary of programming terms to help some people follow your tutorials. Might be good to have it sticky so it doesn't get lost. |

A glossary of all terms, eh? I think I'll leave that one to Wikipedia. |

You've mentioned on several occaisions that command-line programming has many advantages to IDE-styled. Seeing as there are a number of people around here who've had their interests peaked by Ruby, and seeing as though Ruby can very well be used in a command-line environment, I would like to request a tutorial on just what command-line programming entails. Understand that I come from a Turing-IDE (with a sprinkling of Java) background, and don't even know what it is that IDE does wrong as compared to command-line. So, perhaps something that introduces the mores and culture surrounding command-line, and perhaps even contrasts in to the apparent (but still mysterious) fallacies of IDE. |

I'd actually like a section where people can put up tutrorials and stuff on programs made by Borland, such as "Borland c++" and "Delphi", and "Turbo Pascal"--ino that TP wasnt made by Borland, but its a great language, and is sorta like turing... but a lot better and neater. And Borland c++, is a little different than the MS c++, and so i thing if you want to learn Borland C++ you need to find a good tutorial for it... and so far i dont see one.... well, thats wat i'd like added to compsci... |

well, thats wat i'd like added to compsci... Turbo pascal is just a poor implementation of pascal; borland C++ is just C++ with non-standard extensions; and delphi is just a category all of it's own in terms of taking a language and turning it into something completely different. And all are for the most part no longer used anywhere. I think if people are using borland C++ then should be posting in teh C/C++ forums; and we can help them overcome any issue the borland compiler might have. As for TurboPascal and Delphi GP works fine. |

Delphi is actualy greatly used world wide, and has a big online community. And i think that Borland does a much better job with programming languages than MS. |

because obviously borland and VC are the only two C++ compilers avaliable |

hi guys.I need urgently to make this code(knapsack) work on limited items can you please help me: for j:=1 to N do begin // j is the item number for i:=1 to M do // i is the size of knapsack if (i-size[j]>=0) then if cost[i]<(cost[i-size[j]]+val[j]) then begin cost[i]:=cost[i-size[j]]+val[j]; best[i]:=j; end; end; |

After looking through quite a number of topics on this forum, it seems as though a lot of the tutorials are programming- and language-specific. I would love to see some tutorials/lessons on a variety of more general computer science concepts. A few things I would like to see: - Algorithms and 'Big Oh' notation (with common programming examples) - Computer architecture (connecting software to hardware, heap vs stack, etc) - How compilers and interpreters work - Data structures (what they are, where they are best used, how they are represented at the low level) ...And other more general topics like these. I admit I haven't looked through all the tutorials, so maybe some of these have already been done. Also I'd love to contribute here as well, but of course my request is driven by my wanting to learn about these topics 
EDIT: I suppose there isn't currently a great spot for tutorials of this kind...perhaps a new forum subsection could be made for General Computer Science topics? |

There are wikis for things like that. For example: http://www.wcipeg.com/wiki/index.php/PEGWiki:Community_Portal http://www.algorithmist.com/index.php/Main_Page The tutorials are meant to be language specific. Though there are a few that aren't (as a lot of the tutorials can be extended to other languages). |

Well, I'm sure there are also wikis for language-specific tutorials  I just think it would be nice to have everything collected here. But thanks for the links!
EDIT: I think that since this is a computer science forum, and not just a programming forum, these would be well accepted here. Obviously this is just my opinion, and it's up to the admins to decide whether or not it would enhance the site, but I think many members would appreciate more conceptual tutorials like these. For example, Demonwasp's Memory Hierarchy seemed to be really well taken. |

YESSS I'D LOVE SOME HELP!!! 
If you dont mind its about the moving background. Yes I know its talked about on the web site and i tryed using the scripts provided and it would not work on my turing program i think its because of the version mines 4.1.1. I'm trying to replicate the online helicopter game for a school project. Thanks for the help!!  |
