Code Complete is one of the best and the absolutely interessting books I have ever read about Software Development. Here you can read everything from design to development, refactoring, documentation and so on. If you want to become a good developer, it is a must to have read this book.
Steve McConnell seems to have a lot of experience in the whole field of software development. An he is a good writer. He never looses his humor. More than 800 pages of fun.
A long time ago I was impressed from this bizarre images made of the mandelbrot set. And a few weeks ago I developed a screensaver which draws different details of the mandelbrot set.
Meanwhile I know a little bit more about this image and it is much more fascinating than ever before. I invested at lot of time to get this screensaver running. But now it works. It randomly selects a part of the currently painted image and zooms inside this part. The zooming goes on until the computer is not able to calculate more detailed information.
You can download the screensaver Mandelbrot and copy the file into the system directory. Then select the screensaver in the desktop property screen and make some odd settings there. You will enjoy it and be impressed of the different images of the Mandelbrot set.
When I attended school and had some lessons about the triangle I was deeply impressed from this odd figure.
And since I tried some calculations with vector analysis my idea was to develope a screensaver which randomly draws a triangle and calculates and paints all important points, lines and circles of the triangle.
You can download the screensaver Triangle and copy the file into the system directory.
