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.

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.

C Programming Tutorials

C Programming Tutorials

The C programming language is a versatile and widely-used programming language which makes it an ideal starting point for novice programmers. Originally developed for UNIX system development, C has evolved to become a go-to language for a variety of applications, including embedded systems, operating systems, and general computer applications.

Quicksort in C

Quicksort Implementation in C

Quicksort is a widely used sorting algorithm known for its efficiency and simplicity. Developed by Tony Hoare in 1960, this sorting technique follows the “divide and conquer” paradigm which makes it a powerful tool for organizing data in ascending or descending order. Programmers find quicksort to be an excellent introduction to sorting algorithms due to its straightforward implementation and elegant design.
