I am looking into game development for the XBOX 360. Having said that, I would suppose the best
language would be one based on Microsofts OS. I havent yet dipped my toe in .NET, but have seen
some demos. I guess a couple of questions come to mind 1) Has anyone developed games for the XBOX
before? 2) Since I use Delphi, could I just get the .NET version of Delphi and be up and running?
I have used the converted C headers for DirectX and have a couple of games in the 'can' for
Windows....

I plan on openning a bussiness soon, but dont have the name for the company yet. Do you have ANY
ideas? Company's bussiness is web development, but it might later do other computer related
things (such as programming, sales, IT education etc.). Suggest your names here!...

I don't know whether its because theres too many people going for this kind of job and don't
have the skills or if the lack of enough experience people influencing employees demanding so much
from an employee. This trend I'm seeing a lot from http://it.seek.co.nz is a very high demand
for web developers with 4+ years commercial experience. http://it.seek.co.nz is probably the most
looked at site for IT jobs in new zealand. They list jobs from Aussie and even around the world I
believe. The other place is sjs.co.nz which is geared to getting students into...

Spiritual inner souls: QUOTE My out looks upon those that feel their Spiritual in their selves
and those around them in Life. I find that some are very extreme spiritual, innersoles. But.
That’s exactly what it is. Stays inside them, Surrounds only them. Their Spiritual energy
does not surround those around them in Life. Bring to others something inside you that come easy
for self. You need people, To offer this spiritual part of self, to grow, learn, experience, Feel,
Otherwise only growing you do in life is isolated within self. Locked away in Tho...

so as a disclaimer, i am not any form of official taoist, i have not been initiated into any
tradions, i dont follow any specific tradition, but i do focus my studies of taoism in the area of
herbology, excersize, and i try to understand the i ching. if i had to say i was anything i'd
say i am a person who studies "holistic tao sciences". barely even a taoist really... so with that
aside, and the reader takeing this info with a grain of salt i'd like to start talking a bit on
Spiritual Development in relation to taoism. okay ready? lets go! taosim is proba...

When someone comes around to realizing that they personally have a need for spiritual development,
in whatever form it may take, is a wonderful thing. To realize a need that is so essential and yet,
in many cases, goes unrecognized; thus, without fulfillment; is like suddenly realizing that you
haven't fed yourself in a month and suddenly realizing that you're so hungry you would die
if you didn't eat. In this day and age, we are so tied up in making the almighty dollar, keeping
up appearances, and for many people, pretending to be something that they are not...

Hello everyone, how are you all doing? I was thinking that it would be great if there was a section
for Game Development. I know there's a section in computers fro game programming, but
there's a whole lot more to Game Dev than just programming. I think it could really bring in
alot of posts, and I know that I personally would be posting in there all the time. What does
everyone else think? Am I making sense to anyone? I think it'd be really a really awesome idea....

I just want to find out how many use it and how much help its been for them. I've started a
project a while back and I find I've not planned it fully in the early stages i.e. requirements
wasnt fully identified so I'm constantly having to go back and recode many parts as I discover
its missing something. At this stage I've stop completely in my development and going back to
the drawing board to try and plan it out as best as possible so I wont have to redo alot of it
because of poor planning. I think depending on your project size and complexity you may ...

I recently got involved in a Forum software script which is being developed and thought I should let
everyone know that they need some assistance in the PHP, MySql, Html, and CSS areas. Also, some
Visual Designers would be quite useful. AEF Forum Software is the name of the project. It is
presently in version 1.0.3, and have some pretty cool features already, but in order to advance in
its standings against such Boards as IPB, phpbb, Yabb, etc, more features and Themes are required.
Good bunch of people working hard, but just not enough of us to do everything. Come h...

BREW platform BREW stands for Binary RunTime Environment for Wireless. It is a mobile
development platform like J2ME and .NET CF(Compact Framework) which is implemented in very few
handfull of phones. BREW is mostly found in all CDMA phones. It is very powerfull compare to J2ME
becase java does not allow much of low-level access to the device. In BREW it is possible to nuke al
areas of the phone to program and exploit the capablities of the phone. In India Reliance is a CDMA

This topic will discuss ancient teaching of the east - 'All will pass, and all will come
again' - a teaching that draws a lesson for human life out of the ever-changing seasons The
law of the cosmos is change - do not regret the bitter snows of winter, for the spring could not be
half as beautiful without them. And spring is made even more beautiful by the fact that it is so
transient - if it lasted forever, how soon would we cease to appreciate it. And even winter has
it's beauty, and it's opportunities. To stand against the cold, and smile at the...

Hey I've been thinking about starting my own website for website design/development. I can think
of many different ways I could do this but I'm looking for the fastest, most simple, and most
effective way of programing it. So let me explain what I want to do with this site. First off I
will be selling websites, both custom and template. I need to know the best way for people to pay
for them. I don't know if I should use pay pal or what. I don't have any expirience in that
area. I also want to try to buy a server and host websites myself. Now I know how ...

There is one HUGE development missing from all WW2 or just the games where many characters are
around the "single player" (whether npc or not). I came up with this idea yesterday and I have
already passed it past so many people who agree it would turn these games to seriously top notch
ones. The Single Player "campaign" style missions where there are many characters, controlled by
the computer and you. (Let's not pretend, there always are other players with you in almost
every mission of a game like Call of Duty, so this is about 99% possible) What if 8-or-so of t...

this is a cool software that can help designers where other programs can't, namely when planning

Microsoft has finished the development of Windows Vista and its Testing Process. They've sent it
for manufacturing. Now we've to wait for Microsoft to announce the Release date for Windows

want my OS to lack any features....

just incase for some reason you don't like trap17...... i use it for test pages so i don't
take up unecesary space on trap. it's a good host but i think there having a bit of trouble with

Hi, I just wanted to share some concerns that I have as a newbie in the website development area.
The first thing that I notice is that there is a lot of technology with fancy acronyms.
AJAX,CSS,HTML,PHP,Javascript,MySQL,Apache - You need to learn a lot of new things if you want to
design a functional and attractive website. But if you want to develop application software, you
just need to learn a language - thats it. Any one language is sufficient for you to develop a full
featured application - VC++, C++, Qt, Java or any other language depending on the platform. Why ...

Has anyone tried out BackBase yet? Its a great AJAX developing framework that allows you to create
rich applications, using JS, XML and optionally some PHP. I was REALLY fascinated by this framework
when I first tried it! You can create applications like Windows Live Mail, with customized
context menus, etc. I highly recommend that you try out this framework for developing great USER
friendly and feature-rich applications. Although, please note that the FREE version is around 30MB+
and takes a long time downloading and uploading! If you are going to try it out...

I realize that this may be something that people make lots of money at, but may not talk about it.
My idea is that there are enough of these API developer type things out there, I may never have
another boss again. Anyway, my early research indicates a broad potential for little search
assistants for some of these. Has anybody here ever taken on anything like this - would be willing
to discuss any parts of this - up to the point of certification?...

Hello all, I am making a php powered program that will eventually have a file manager and all kinds
of cool stuff. What it does is its an online php/html editor thats half WYSIWYG and half text. Right
now nothing works really except the code previewer. Which right now only previews html. But I will
put java scripts and guides and what not when its finished. Also when its finished you will have to
pay for it and buy a lisence. But for now anyone can use it threw the testing stages.
