Writing the next big App
by Dennis Kioko 13 Dec '10

13 Dec '10

For those broke devlopers looking at writing the next big app, you can get started at minimal cost (cost of a domain) by writing your app on Google app Engine, which is free to a certain limit. Thus you can focus on writing and marketing your app as you look for funds. the costs are here http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/billing.html#Billable_Quota_Unit_Cost after yi exceed the free quotas ( http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/quotas.html#Billable_Quotas_and_Fixed… ) To learn how to code for Google apps, you can download this presentation by Pamela Fox<http://www.slideshare.net/signup?from=download&from_source=http://www.slide…> (Who is Pamela Fox <http://www.pamelafox.org/>?)(What apps has Pamela Fox developed? <http://code.google.com/u/pamela.fox/>) Writing apps the Googley way<http://www.slideshare.net/signup?from=download&from_source=http://www.slide…> -- with Regards: Vote Julius Assange as Time 2010 Person of the Year http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2028734_2028733,…

Some very serious companies - Airtel
by Odhiambo Washington 13 Dec '10

13 Dec '10

I am surprised by Airtel. They took over Zain and when they started rebrading, even dropped the MX records for ke.zain.com! I'd have thought they'd keep the records and do either an A or CNAME (at worst) mapping for some time. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Damn!!

Help: Inline Assembly - Bubble Sort
by Kelvin 12 Dec '10

12 Dec '10

I'm trying to write a function that receives an array of (signed) long integers or a pointer to the array as a parameter, that will sort the array from lowest-to-highest. Using a bi-directional form of the bubble sort algorithm. This is a "learning assmebly" excercise whose description is: The sort itself must be written entirely in inline assembly. If there is need to include any other functionality then it must be in pure C. You must only write a single block of inline assembly, though it can be in a separate sub-function if you want. You must also try to make this assembly section as small and efficient as possible, and must correctly employ constraints. Your inline assembly code should use no named registers, and you should avoid specifying exact registers in your constraints as well. It is intended for use this in AT&T. Anybody has an idea how I can approach this?
