    Considering I haven't been on CodeCall much lately, computer for that fact. I don't won't to disappear, I just don't have time for the computer. I have also always said I would blog on CodeCall but I never have, so I think this is the best time to write one :)I was at work last night and I just started to think, is the Gaming Industry the right place for me? Why do you say? Well, I have always wanted to learn programming and I first started off with HTML, CSS and JS. Lately, I have been wanting ...

  3. Why Learn Data Structures

    by , 01-02-2009 at 09:00 PM
    One of the "odd" things that happens when you are taking CS courses is that you will be required to take a course on data structures.  You will get to do wonderful things like implement a linked list, a binary tree, a stack, and a queue.  After you spend months cramming all this stuff into your brain, you will then move on to the real world (TM) and start programming for your daily bread. 

    In the course of your day-to-day existence, you will probably program in a language ...

  6. Programming in Kosovo

    by , 12-27-2008 at 09:00 PM
    “PROGRAMMING” – for most of the youth in Kosovo this is an unknown word.There are too many reasons for this phenomenon. Most of the Balkan countries are “one step back” comparing to Western Europe or US countries. The reason is simple: Balkan has had too many conflicts and wars in its history. While those countries spent most of their investments in weapons and army, other countries invested in science and technology. Now let’s leave out Balkan and the rest of the world and concentrate in Kosovo. ...

  7. Computerizing: friend or foe

    by , 12-25-2008 at 09:00 PM (im the :amr:)
    I’ve been thinking about programming from just one side, the good side till one day while working I found out that programming (or computerizing) *makes people spend less time working and do less effort which will one day make the manager think:” why the hell am I paying them, they are just doing few clicks and hitting keys on a keyboard”. This will make employees get paid less and we the programmers or system developers will get paid the money that decreased from their salary on the other hand ...
