Base 64 Encoding and Decoding

256-bit Serpent VB Implementation

This is a slow but working Visual Basic implementation of the 256-bit Serpent algorithm. Serpent was a finalist for Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and appears to be a very secure powerful algorithm. The Advanced Encryption Standard, or AES, is a symmetric block cipher chosen by the U.S. government for the encryption of classified electronic data and is implemented in software and hardware throughout the world to encrypt sensitive data.

Base85 Encoding

BASE 85 Encoding VB Class

This is a BASE85 Encoding Visual Basic class that expands the text to be encoded by 4:5 i.e. uses 5 ASCII characters to represent 4 bytes with 80% accuracy. Used in Postscript and PDF documents. Useful if binary data needs to be persisted in ASCII text.

Basic presentation

Exporting PowerPoint Slides to Images in C#

This is a very simple Visual Basic source code to export all the slides from a PowerPoint presentation. This source code can export images in any specified image format like .jpg, .bmp or .gif. I wrote this function while I was working on my undergraduate project “PowerPoint to XML Interchangeability”. I had to make some sort of PowerPoint Viewer to view the slides so I wrote this function to export PowerPoint slides into image sequences so that I can display them into an image control and export the images at a temporary location.

Block a Specific IP Address in PHP

Block a Specific IP Address in PHP

In this article, we’ll explore how to block a specific IP address or a list of addresses from accessing a webpage using PHP. By leveraging PHP’s capabilities, you can fortify your web applications against unauthorized access and potential security threats. Let’s delve into the process of implementing IP-based access restrictions to bolster the security of your PHP-powered webpages.

DirectX

Microsoft DirectX Programming: DirectX Components

Microsoft DirectX is a set of application programming interfaces (APIs) for multimedia-related tasks, such as gaming, video playback, and graphics rendering. DirectX provides a standardized way for software developers to access hardware resources like graphics cards, sound cards, and input devices.

Microsoft .NET - C# Programming

Microsoft .NET – C# Programming

C# and .NET have a symbiotic relationship. Certain features in C# are tailored to complement the capabilities of .NET, and conversely, specific aspects of .NET are designed to align seamlessly with C#. However, it’s worth noting that .NET is versatile, aiming to accommodate a plethora of programming languages.

Object Oriented Programming (OOP)

Object Oriented Programming (OOP)

For a programming language to be considered Object-Oriented, it must support the concept of objects (abstract data types), inheritance, and polymorphism. In simple terms, OOP allows you to model your code after real-world entities, making it more intuitive and efficient. As you delve into C++ and its OOP features, keep in mind that the goal is to create programs that are not only functional but also easy to understand, maintain, and reuse.
