That is when you wonder who it was that said that computer programmers do not have funny bones in their body. So in line with that I have posted a number of programmer Jokes, Awkward programming moments and wacky computer errors.

For the Intermediate or advanced C++ programmers this may not be an issue. This is a problem I intend to illustrate using the Nokia Qt Framework to show how you can access controls in a parent Window from a dialog box which is a child class in Qt. Related posts:

To go further into this I have to assume you know quite a bit of what someone is talking about when they mention the phrase 3D.

There are even hotter debates about whether Adobe Flash is in the last days of its lifetime. There is plenty that could be said on this topic but today I am more into looking into the Pros and Cons of Adobe Flash vs HTML5 Video. Related posts:

Or could it simply be a case of developers just not knowing what should be done on a database and why it should be done.
