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.

Spring AOP : JDK Proxy vs CGLib Proxy

Spring framework is one of the most widely used framework in Enterprise application development. It has so many features such as Dependency injection, Data access integration, MVC, AOP which takes care of most of the boilerplate part of project, and developers can then focus on business logic only. One of the important feature in Spring is AOP. It is used by almost every enterprise application which is being developed using Spring. AOP So what is AOP? 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. Although notepad++ provides functionality to run external programs, I prefer NppJavaTools plugin to compile and run Java programs using notepad++.

Spring Custom Scope

Spring framework is one of the DI frameworks which is largely used to develop web applications(enterprise). It provides almost every feature which is required to develop a enterprise web application. Also it is extendable, so you can customize it the way it suits for your application. Custom bean scope Although bean scopes provided by Spring fulfills requirements of the application, some times you may need something different which is not available by default. In our application we faced the same situation. Requirement We had a requirement of the scope which uses an application value to decide which bean to use(return). The default scopes provided by Spring were not useful and was not providing the required functionality. Implementation As I said earlier, Spring is extendable. It provides an interface Scope, which you can implement to introduce custom scope in your application. To create custom scope, Scope interface needs to be implemented. Scope interface has ...
