Writing this, I know that there will be a bunch of alternatives out there, and they are all probably good as well, but there are definite things that you need to care about, so if they don’t do it then at least ask the question “why”. This guide is not meant for someone who is using managed...

I've always wanted to get into the Final Fantasy games, and have had friends rave about how amazing FF7 is, and I just saw the trailer for the remake - it looks really good! https://square-enix-games.com/en_US/news/final-fantasy-vii-remake-preview-combat What do you think?

Recently I caught a cold - yay everyone around me having colds.  Today I ended up working from home so that I was able to sleep in longer (an extra 2.5 hours) and then drink hot lemons all day.  All while still working on stuff for work (yay - no sick day used). What do you normally do to help...

Programming is a life long journey of growing and learning more.  There are so many different ways to get started with programming, were there any helpful things out there that you used to help you get started? Or that you continue to use as you program and grow?

One thing that I am always curious about, is the "why" people decided to start their own game/sim site.  What was the appeal to you? Was it the thought of creating something brand new? Was it to push yourself to learn more? Was it to get rich? What is it that made you really think "hey, I have...

Over the last year or so, I've begun watching a fair bit more YouTube, because the amount of content on video games that I will never play has skyrocketed :P One of the series that I found really interesting was Boundary Break. Basically they hack the games so that they are able to move the...

This is literally something I feel like I've been waiting *forever* for.  My brother had a Playstation, but I never really used it, and I never had the original Kingdom Hearts game.  Over the Christmas break, I saw that these were coming out, and now they are finally here :)

I just stumbled across the following website today, it's really cool to see all of the projects that are coming out of VueJS (all of the extensions). https://vuewatch.com/# Have you had any experience with any of these packages? Are they good?

I heard this one the other day and loved it. Why is "beef stew" not a good password? Spoiler Because it's not stroganoff

I've always been a fan of Star Trek, back from my first days of watching Star Trek: The Next Generation (then I went back to watch The Original Series).  I was excited to see at the end of last year that a new series, Picard, was starting up. So far I'm loving it - so much of the Star Trek that...

Every game site has those features that you as a developer absolutely hate implementing.  Even just thinking about working on it sometimes drains the life out of you.  What is that feature for you and why?

@tavsangel Were you meaning to send this on a specific site?

At work this week, I saw a phone book which then made me start a conversation about old technologies that we used.  The first actual programming language that I used was Visual Basic 6, made a few programs on there with my friends in high school, afterwards we did Java. How about you?

Recently I've been on a bit of a Podcast kick, finding and listening to a bunch (some of which I listen to end to end).  Here are the ones that I'm actively listening to: Art of Product Full Stack Radio Code Newbie Podcast Base.Cs Podcast ChangeLog Coding Blocks Podcast...

I was listening to an episode of Coding Blocks podcast, and they pointed out something huge that I didn't realize until I heard it about the license for code available on Stack Overflow. Excerpt from their podcast notes: If you use code from Stack Overflow, you need to give attribution to the...

So you have dreams of starting your own Pet Site, but have no experience with programming whatsoever, this thread is going to walk through a lot of things that you need to know, and what you need to look for from your developer (and in your code base), to ensure that you are paying for things...
