Valentines Day Screen Saver

Few years back when I was in college I used to get huge amount of time to learn new technologies. In those days once I was trying to learn DirectX programming using Visual C++. I started with few tutorials and learnt a lot about the DirectX programming. At that time I designed my first screen saver using DirectX and Visual C++ which was Falling Hearts screen saver.
Every time valentines day comes close, I still get many mails regarding this screen saver. Some of them are to modify the screen saver, some of them are for the download link and some of them are Thank you mail.
Well, I am happy about it but as said earlier I wrote it long time back and neither I have source code for it anymore with me to modify it nor the time.
To download the screen saver please visit Softpedia at http://www.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Enhancements/Screensavers/Valentine-Screensaver-CM.shtml

After this screen saver I wrote another small and very simple game using DirectX, here is the video for it.

Programming with Visual C++ and DirectX API is fun.

Definition of AOP - Aspect oriented programming is a programming paradigm which aims to increase modularity by allowing the separation of cross cutting concerns. Well, my understanding of AOP is - AOP allows us to introduce/join new modules in your project at pre-specified dynamic locations without having to code for it. Traditional examples of AOP is Transaction management, logging etc. You can read more about AOP at here .

Notepad++ Compile and Run Java Programs

Notepad++ is a great file editor. It has many features. The most important feature which I like about Notepad++ is its light weight. It loads up so quickly, that's great. It also provides syntax highlighting for many languages. I use notepad++ to edit general files as well as my simple Java programs.

Java Tools Plugin for Notepad++

This post and the plugin is outdated. Please use plugin from this link which is updated and allows customization of shortcut key mappings and much more . Notepad++ is a great free editor. I like notepad++ because its a light weight editor and loads instantly. I use notepad++ for editing many files everyday. One plugin I always wanted was a plugin which lets me compile my java files and execute them from editor itself, but I couldn't find it so I wrote a myself. This plugin can be downloaded from  this link . I am working on this plugin to make it more effective, so that if user have more than one installations of JDK or JRE then user should be able to choose which one to use etc. This is a simple plugin which has two commands- Compile - compiles a java file. Run - executes a java file. For using this plugin Java must be installed on the system.
