Announce Your Software/Service/Product / TryPerl : A cloud IDE to try perl online and freely and share runnable scripts

« on: March 01, 2013, 12:01 PM »

So I gave myself a challenge : Write a simple cloud IDE in a language you don't know yet on a platform you haven't used.

The result : www.tryperl.com

You can write mostly any perl code (upto 5.10) with a snazzy STDIN option you can use ARGV and <>. If you sign in with GitHub it maintains all your scripts as personal github gists Sweet and Simple!

It has a mostly secure sandbox that runs perl code, like I said I'm a perl/linux newbie and that's why it's mostly.

See this for the stack I used: www.tryperl.com/about
See this post for my server security implementation.

Developer's Corner / another possibly useful app that builds visual studio files from the win shell

« on: December 05, 2009, 09:27 AM »

hi,

So yet another app that I've been using for over a year. If you're like me and you download a lot of source code you might find this a little useful.

Basically it allows you to right click a sln or csproj(for now) and upgrade or build it straight from there. Its not too much magic, just using visual studios hidden command line interface.

Here's what it looks like:



You need to set the path to devenv.exe (I know its crappy but I coded this while I was in high school ). You can also set the path to csc which will allow compiling .cs files form the shell. But for .net 3.x+ it doesn't work to well. Basically the program creates a batch file and runs it, it creates a output.txt file with info. Also, if you try building older solution instead of upgrading, the build will fail.

Tell me if you guys find this useful and I might actually bother to update the code!

Developer's Corner / a (possibly) useful pet app i wrote that beautifully displays all .net colours.

« on: July 01, 2009, 10:08 AM »

hi,

So I'm finally ready to showcase one of my apps, and its been almost a year since i stopped making any pet apps... and surprisingly this app is over 1.5 years old!!

There always comes a time when you're coding and you suddenly need to know what one of the .net colours you're going to use looks like, especially with those whimsical names. So I made this up......tell me what you guys think??

I've attached the file to this post and here a link too just incase.

A little about the app, version one was all my effort... a little crazy programming went into getting mouse over highlights but the performance was terrible... a little help from the forums and version 2 performed way better... also it took a while for me to figure how to get the text on each box to be a visible colour! lol


Thanks so much

Developer's Corner / coding x86 assembler on a 64 bit machine??[coding on a x64]

« on: April 02, 2008, 07:13 AM »

Hi,

Im a self taught pretty good C# programmer, i know a bunch of visual languages, i do know a little C and JAVA to but i'm not that experienced, which is a good enough excuse to ask....

Can i code x86 assembler on a 64 bit machine? I've just started reading Dr. Paul Carters free book, and i'm going to get a personal laptop with a 64 bit processor. Unfortunately, the laptop is the only one affordable yet fast enough for my work. So i don't have much of a choice.

Also, on the general level are there any unforeseen problems i might run into with programming C#, C , JAVA etc on a 64 bit machine? Will there be problems calling x86 code from C#? Or anything else i should know?


Hope that wasn't too much of a silly question,

Thanks so much
Gideon
