A long, long, long and even longer time ago, when my computer was not that great, and the internet was expensive like hell dial-up solution I’ve stumbled upon ADOM. It was (and is up till today) probably the greatest achievement of a computer games genre…
November started with me realising, that on its basic level Effective C is almost read. However, I felt that I still lacked knowledge. Therefore, I’ve jumped back to Understanding and using C pointers to get some – especially in the areas of arrays and strings.…
The plans were so great and then it was as usual. That’s a rough translation of one of popular Polish’ quotes. I was so eager to continue my lucky strike from September, but the universe decided otherwise. Beginning of October was a little messy in…
We’ve already learned about storing single number in one byte (containing 8 bits) – that’s actually the same like storing ASCII-table characters in a single char variable. Depending on the unsigned/singed definition the range is -127 to 127 or 0 to 255 (with 0 as…
As You probably know I’m a Java developer, and a concept of String is my everyday meal. However, in C there is no such thing as string-type. Of course there is no problem with using string literals as a value assigned to the variable. However,…
As I’ve mentioned a couple of times – I’ve been around programming for quite some time. My first programming experience was rewriting BASIC programs from programming magazine called ‘Bajtek’. Hardware was Timex 2048, and I was circa 6 years old. As this was year 1990…
It feels almost like yesterday. It’s the 1st of September and I’ve started my journey towards low-level stuff of computer science. Thirty days – that was the plan. Now it is behind me, so a time came to sum everything up. Let’s go. To start…
In the modern web-based programming the problem of encoding and usage of different languages seems like a thing of the past. I still remember how I’ve struggled at the very beginning of my programming career to get polish letters to be properly displayed in HTML.…
Having worked in Java ecosystem for almost 10 years, one day I’ve found myself somehow bored. Another framework? Nah. Maybe dive into big data? Nada. DevOps? And being YAML-programmer? Meh. It seemed that I needed to get away from known waters and head towards something…
