Muhammad Saqib – Senior Software Engineer & Founder of MyCPlus

Muhammad Saqib author banner — MyCPlus

Muhammad Saqib is the founder and lead author of MyCPlus, the programming-education site he launched in 2004. The idea grew out of his own struggle learning to program at university — C was the first language he picked up — and the help he wished he’d had became the site he built for others. What began as a C and C++ resource has since grown into a broad hub of tutorials, working code examples, and computer science guides across many languages and skill levels.

He holds an MSc in Computer Applications from the University of Plymouth, UK (2008) and has spent over 15 years building large-scale software across automotive, healthcare, retail, mobility, and education. Along the way he has worked with Ford, Hyundai, Trilogy/DevFactory, OT EMR, Al Othaim Markets, and NUST–SEECS, and today leads backend engineering as Technical Team Lead at a public transportation authority.

A hands-on, polyglot engineer, he works across C/C++, Java, C#, PHP, Python, and JavaScript, and writes here about programming, software engineering, DevOps, Agile, and computer science.

More than twenty years on, MyCPlus keeps the goal it started with: clear tutorials, real source code, and a place for learners to get unstuck — written by someone who has been on both sides of the problem.

Interactive Java Color Palette: Select and Display HEX Color Values

This Java code defines a simple graphical user interface (GUI) component called RainbowPalette. This component represents a color palette that features a spectrum of hues. Users can interact with the palette by clicking on different colors, and the selected color’s HEX value is displayed in a text box below the palette.

Simple Mouse Tracker GUI using Java Swing

Simple Mouse Tracker GUI using Java Swing

This Java source code defines a simple mouse tracking program using Swing which is a graphical user interface toolkit. The program displays a window with a drawing surface that captures and visualizes various mouse events. The mouse’s current coordinates, modifier keys (Shift, Control, Meta, and Alt), and the type of the most recent mouse event are displayed in real-time on the window.

Interactive Java Stopwatch Component

Interactive Java Stopwatch Component

The StopWatch class introduces a versatile stopwatch component with enhanced functionality in Java. Extending JLabel and implementing the MouseListener interface, this interactive component not only measures elapsed time but also dynamically updates to display the current time in the format “Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Milliseconds”.

Find Words Frequency in a Text File using Java

Find Words Frequency in a Text File using Java

The program demonstrates sorting techniques by sorting a list of words based on their frequency count. Novice programmers can learn about basic file handling, data structures, generics, and sorting algorithms through this program, gaining foundational knowledge applicable to a wide range of Java applications.

Java Swing GUI

Java Swing GUI Example Program

This Java source code is an example of a Graphical User Interface (GUI) with different GUI elements such as TextBox, Buttons, TextArea, Text Area and Labels. It is implemented using Java Swing API which provides a set of “lightweight” (all-Java language) components. This code example extends the functionality of JFrame class to show a JFrame window and Implements ActionListener on buttons to catch the click event on those buttons.

Java Calculator Program with GUI

Java Calculator Program with AWT and Swing Based GUI

This Java source code implements a basic calculator with a graphical user interface (GUI) using AWT and Swing. The program is structured in a way that makes it suitable for novice programmers to understand and learn about GUI development in Java. It serves as an excellent starting point for those looking to explore basic GUI applications and understand the principles of event-driven programming.
