3-min. Quickie: Compiling C++ Projects using only the Windows SDK and the Command Prompt

In case you don't want to go through the time and hassle of installing the full Visual Studio 2010.
This task is really useful if you want to perform automated builds on your own machine or you need to perform builds on a machine that doesn't need Visual Studio, such as a build server. However, this is not really a substitution for having Visual Studio for development.

First VS2010 Hotfix out

First one I've seen out although there's a bug using the debugger that I found out about at GameDev Forums.
If you're experiencing frequent “insufficient memory” errors when doing small cut or copy operations in Visual Studio 2010 RTM, please download this patch to see whether it resolves the issue.

Divide by Zero Error

You'd think programmers would catch all those silly Divide by Zero Error errors nowadays, guess not:
Divide by Zero Error causes BSOD in Windows trying to print!

Lambda calculus

Maybe if I read this enough times it will finally sink into my brain?
In mathematical logic and computer science, lambda calculus, also written as λ-calculus, is a formal system for function definition, function application and recursion.

Java 7

Why isn't it out yet?

What is the Java 7 plan?

Apple discounts Mac Developer Program subscription to $99

Apple discounts Mac Developer Program subscription to $99
Apple this week slashed hundreds -- and in some cases thousands -- of dollars from the cost of its Mac Developer Program annual subscription, which now carries a flat fee of $99 per year.

Previously, developers had to pay between $499 for the "Select" tier and $3,499 for the "Premier" categorization. The newly revamped Mac Developer Program is modeled after Apple's wildly successful iPhone Developer program, and offers technical resources, support and more.

Now the ball is in Microsoft's court and up to them to match Apple. Currently Microsoft cheapest offering in comparison is over $1000!
