As a matter of principle, I will do two blogs on days that I write about Code Security or about the specifics of the 70-511 exam.  One with a general discussions on Kinect, XBox, Quantum Computing, Imagine Cup technology and so forth.  The other one will be on the 70-511 exam.  For example...

I checked out the files used by the Love game tool and it appears to have been built using VS 2005, you can tell this by the file: The file: msvcr80.dll needs the msvcp80.dll to run C programs written in VS2005.

I gave a talk yesterday at CSU Dominguez Hills in Southern California, and one of the students at the talk ask me about the Love game software that uses LUA.  Wow, this is interesting if you are a language freak like me, this is an approach to learning a form of c using a game kind of interface...

If you like to play WOW, then you might want to add on some tools to make your game.  In this blog I will contrast the two excellent tools, the WOW Addon Tools from the Blizzard Site and the AddOn Studio for WOW that is an open source project on Codeplex . Keep in mind that even though the Visual...

Daniel Fernandez with his usual genius has created a great application that you can download from http://www.codeplex.com/addonstudio that allows you to work with WOW, but use the Visual Studio shell.  This is a great way to get into programming and to have fun. If you are a teacher that wants to...
