At TEDIndia, Pranav Mistry demos several tools that help the physical world interact with the world of data — including a deep look at his SixthSense device and a new, paradigm-shifting paper “laptop.” In an onstage Q&A, Mistry says he’ll open-source the software behind SixthSense, to open its possibilities to all. ‘SixthSense’... 

Google launched Go, a new systems programming language born with concurrency, simplicity and performance in mind. Go is open source and its syntax is similar to C Programming Language, C++ and Python. Typical builds take a fraction of a second yet the resulting programs run nearly as quickly as comparable C or C++ code.  It uses an expressive language with... 

AMD’s Framewave (FW) is a free and open-source collection of image and signal processing routines to accelerate application development, debugging, and optimization on x86-class processor platforms.  FW is a collection of libraries that contain highly-optimized functions for use in a variety of programming domains. All implementations of the libraries provide... 

This article presents some of the currently available options for open source C/C++ matrix libraries employable within a Linux environment. Particular libraries discussed are Meschach, which provides routines for operating on matrices and vectors for projects coded in C, the Cooperware Matrix (CwMtx) for C++ coding, and Blitz, which provides an n-dimensional... 

Philips Guo at Stranford University has useful collection of C programming lessons which may be quite useful if you are new to C programming. Guo starts by answering the simple question of why someone should start programming in C language. This is the first question you should ask yourself before sitting down to start a new programming project. Why are you... 

Hello, world! Programs are usually written to make the text “Hello, world!” appear on a computer screen. This is also a basic sanity check for an installation of a new programming language. The first Hello World program appeared in chapter 1.1 of the first edition of Kernighan & Ritchie’s original book about C, ‘The C Programming... 

Technological developments are usually well received and make life easier. But sometimes a new technology not only makes things more complex, but also frustratingly difficult and time-consuming. Normally technological development is supposed to make life easier, quicker and more reliable. New advancements means old tasks are made more efficient and automate... 

It’s well known that C/C++ languages are the most dominant programming languages around. As I mentioned in the previous post "Top 10 best applications written in C/C++" that most of the big softwares, operating systems, games and other scientific tools and utilities are developed in C/C++. In this post, I have found 50 outstanding websites and...
