KidBASIC is an easy to use version of BASIC designed to teach young children the basics of computer programming.  It has a built-in graphics mode which lets them draw pictures on screen in minutes, and a set of detailed, easy-to-follow tutorials that introduce programming concepts through fun exercises.   Version 0.3 eliminates the line-numbering syntax of previous versions, replacing it with labels.  Performance has also been increased slightly.  Linux source tarballs are now available.  Help and comments are always welcome.  Check out our web site at http://kidbasic.sourceforge.net for more information.

This project also houses the CVS modules for BWidgets, tclbench, mclistbox, tclapps, and tklib.  tcllib is a Tcl-only library of standard routines for Tcl (no compiling required). This release is a minor version change which fixes numerous bugs and provides enhancements as well.  Tcllib 1.10 release notes =========================  Hello World, welcome to Tcllib 1.10.  This release is a minor version change which fixes numerous bugs and provides enhancements as well, to existing modules, and via newly added modules.  Availability ------------  The released distributions can be downloaded from:    Available are gzipped, zipped, and bzipped tarballs, and a starkit.  Installation ------------  * For the starkit and starpack just execute the file and a GUI based   installer will pop up. Fill out the paths, then run the installation.  * For the tarballs unpack them in some directory /foo, then run the   file "/foo/installer.tcl". This will invoke the same installer used   in the starkit and starpack.    Note: While the installer will open up a GUI by default (and if   possible), a command line based installation is provided too. Run the   installer with the option "-help" to see what is available.

In this new tutorial from DevShed, they demonstrate the use of a handy little bit of functionality to help keep your code (and markup) clean - Tidy.   Now that you know that the Tidy (X)HTML formatting/correcting application can be called directly from your own PHP 5 scripts, over the course of this series, which is comprised of three friendly tutorials, I'm going to walk you through using the bunch of useful functions included with this library.   This tutorial (part one) talks about the parsing of (X)HTML strings and using the tidy_clear_repair, tidy_parse_file and tidy_repair_file functions to handle the cleanup of (X)HTML strings and files automatically.

An action and an artifact walk into a bar... Contrary to popular opinion, programmers are not a dry and humourless bunch. What old mainframer can fail to chortle at seeing the graffiti legend "Data error rules, OC7"?â¦

In a new blog entry today, Matthew O'Phinney talks about updates (and refactoring) that he's done to a PEAR package he's developed, File_Fortune.   Over the past few evenings, I've refactored File_Fortune to have it implement Iterator, Countable, and ArrayAccess -- basically allowing it to act like an array for most intents and purposes. As a result, I've eliminated the need for the File_Fortune_Writer package, and greatly simplified the usage.   The package is designed to make an interface between the casual PHP user and the fortune files common on most *nix machines. To illustrate he update, he includes some code that grabs the fortune file, parses it to grab a random one and echoes them out. Also included is the save() method so you can add your own to the list easily.

A series of encodings on printouts from color laser printers to discourage counterfeiting? At first, the idea sounds like the urban legend from a couple of decades ago that claimed you could hear Satanic messages when you play vinyl records backwards. Yet the evidence from the Electronic Frontier Foundation is that the encodings are embedded in color printers from all major manufacturers. Moreover, the issues raised by the practice have caused Free Software Foundation director Benjamin Mako Hill and other members of the Computing Culture group at the MIT Media Lab to begin the Seeing Yellow campaign to stop the practice.

Elizabeth Smith has a new post to her blog today covering some of the fun she's been having with compiling things like Gtk+ and PHP-Gtk2.   So I've been using microsoft visual studio (actually it's Visual C++ Express, but uses the same stuff behind the scenes) to work on getting things compiled on windows. PHP-Gtk2 allows for some nifty extensions, well at least on linux. So I've been working to get versions of libglade, scintilla, gtksourceview and mozembed working on windows. It's a long, slow process. Here's the deal so far.   She talks about her current situation (what's compiling and what's not) and the software that she's trying to get up and running. She also mentions a problem she's been having with an error message talking about "unresolved external symbols" she'll need to track down (or get some help on - anyone out there seen it?)
