OpenGL, DirectX, DirectDraw and 3D game programming tutorials.
Category likeness » Programming tutorials, and computer programmer communities.Welcome to My Programming Tutorials Website
These programming tutorials were written by me out of passion for computers, alas during the time I weren't the writer I am today. They were written about the same time when Google AdSense came out. Little did I know, I could monetize these tutorials at that time but I simply did not know anything about Google. I didn't even track traffic statistics that much. I wrote because I wanted other programmers to learn from my experience.
Times change, and over a period of a few years, the web became "social", for the lack of a better word. Traditionally, computer programmers are usually not thought of as being social. But put them together into one place, and they will sing. At least that's the idea behind the new Fallout Software website - putting computer programmers together to learn from each other and discuss various programming subjects in the likes of OpenGL and Direct3D programming.

Website Homework is a website I created on the subject of making websites, it's getting populated with advice, tutorials and all kinds of tips on how to improve your website. If you're interested in making your own websites, organize them and write proper content, that's the place to go. Garden Care and Tools; yes, I made a website about gardens and perrenial flowers, believe it or not. |
