Oh joy, the holidays are here :)

A party almost every day, and not nearly enough money as a student :( but as you can see its all worth it ;)

Design Patterns

Huston Design Patterns
A really nice page explaining GoF (Gang of Four) Design Patterns, including examples in C++ and Java code, and some exercises.

Happy 1st of December

It's been too long since the last time i made an actual post. I have had a lot to do, and still have. School has taken almost all of my spare time, we have a deadline this Monday and its going to be at bit tight. But i think we are going to do just fine, and I'm hoping for an 10 (compared to a A i think, or maybe B+ ?). Since summer i have started digging into C# and a bit wxWidgets for C++.
In my spare time i try to keep contact with most of my "older" friends, and of course my family :-) I have also some time to kill with either my favorite TV-show: "Two and a Half Men" or the console game: "Destroy All Humans", both tremendously entertaining :-P
I have also recently "departed" my, now ex, girlfriend for 2 years an about 7 month. A very sweet girl, but we just have our differences but it seems that we still can be friends, so that's great :-)
Thoughts: studies are still a bit of track, considering that i like high end programming like GUI or game engines, and we are still working with embedded systems and some signal processing. Those subjects are not my cup of coffee :-P
Well gotta go back to my studies.. C yah

Bulgaria, Golden Sands

Oh yeah, a picture from my first holiday vacation. A picture of my friend David and some duck called "Heine" (Heineken addicted) at a restaurant in Bulgaria, Golden Sands. Where i also learned that it is not a good idea to try every shot from one bar within 50 minutes. :-P

Java IDE's

Today im going on vacation for the second time within a month :-P But before that im going to tell a bit of my experience with free IDE's for Java. Im not a java programmer, but i do wan't to be one. That's why i need an environment that do not confuse me, but has some sort familiarity to previous tools i've used (Notepad++, Microsoft Visual Studio 2003 + 2005, Dev-Cpp 4.9.9.2 and Code::Blocks). I've realised that it's not all editors that come with an WYSIWYG implementation to design user interfaces. When i started in VB 6.0 it was there, and i could not imagine programming without it. I wan't to experience more GUI development, and have looked at several IDE's the past couple of days:

• Eclipse, open source, huge community, have not found any built in gui wizards or wysiwyg's but a couple of promissing plugins. Jigloo, and Swing Desingner.
• JBuilder Foundation, from Borland, does have some reputation, and a nice look.
• Netbeans, also a great community, and 5.5 introduces C/C++, but a bit heavy.
• Sun Java Studio, proberly one of the biggest IDE's from the creators of Java. Everytime some of there sources are made public, then Netbeans integrates these. I have not tried Sun Java Studio, mostly because i have to be a SDN member, and i do not wish to add another license on top of the program itself.

Anyways, i think Eclipse would be my choice, because of the community and all the positive response from sites like sf.net. But now i better start packing :-) Have a great holiday.

• Eclipse.org home
• Cloud Garden - Jigloo GUI Builder (SWT and Swing) for Eclipse
• Swing Designer
• Welcome to NetBeans
• Borland IDE : JBuilder – Tools for Java and J2EE Application Development

Carpenter party

At my brothers party, when he graduated to a journeyman carpenter. Lately i have had a lot to do, mostly at school. Then easter came, and i had a chance to relax. I ended up spending to much money at parties with friends, and had a lot of fun playing golf and poker with them to.
