Types of confusion(blogs.msdn.com)

submitted by CharlieCalvert(7875) 5 years, 5 months ago

When I began programming in my early teens, I was very excited to learn about programming and also excited to become a "real" programmer. I remember picking up a book from the library that purported to teach what real programmers were like. I absorbed the material and enjoyed every page. I can only remember a handful of things from that book which I now realize was not very serious material, but I do remember one quote: "Strong typing is for people with weak minds." I thought to myself, "I don't want to have a weak mind" and I didn't want people to think that I have a weak mind so I thought that I should definitely not embrace strong typing. But what was "strong typing" anyway, I wondered. After much reflection on my (brief) programming experience, I decided that strong typing was using the keyboard a lot. So I decided that people with weak minds wrote overly verbose code. I then applied my new found principle. read more...

A csharp image enhancement filters library(codeproject.com)

submitted by gavinjoyce(25.7k) 5 years, 5 months ago

This project started from a need. A need to have a simple image/photo .Net filters functionality to style and enhance pictures to be displayed on the web (or any other place for that matter). True, there are some filter libraries scattered around the web for doing stuff like a WaterMark or a GrayScale or even a collection of those (ImageMagick) , in most of the times they are very basic or unhelpful for styling images. Furthermore the .NET System.Drawing.* namespace doesn't provide any basic or sophisticated capabilities, for example there isn't a proper rotate or resize functionality .So the goal was to collect all of the nice .NET filters that are out there into a single package and to extend it by providing more useful and styled filters. read more...
