| From Angela Bradley, your About Programming Editor Hello Programmers! This week we are taking a look at replacing Cellpadding with CSS. Next we look at how to make a text adventure game using Ruby. We then go on to look at the adopt a JSR program, and finally we look at analog clocks in JavaScript. Have a Great week! | |
Replacing Cellpadding with CSS There is a CSS property that many people don't use because they don't understand it: border-spacing. This property works similarly to the cellspacing attribute but gives you more flexibility and features. For example, with border-spacing you can affect the space between rows and columns separately--giving your tables a more unique style. |
Making a Text Adventure Game in Ruby Part 3 As far as Ruby is concerned, you're not playing a text adventure game. All you're doing is searching through a tree structure and moving the nodes around. Everything else is irrelevant. This is why finding and moving nodes is such an important piece of this game. |
The Adopt a JSR Program If you're a member of a Java User Group (JUG) you might be interested in getting them to look at the Adopt a JSR program. It's to encourage the Java community to get more involved with Java Specification Requests and for individuals to enhance their CV whilst learning something new. |
Analog Clocks Old JavaScript never die, they just get rewritten. In between writing new scripts and tutorials, I occasionally revisit old scripts and look into what needs to be done to update them. Some time after first writing them I revisited both my original analog clock script and also the more recently written multi-clock version to see what needed to be done to modernise them. |
