Architecture Project

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat allah wa barakatoh

I'm not gonna speak a lot about our Architecture Project.... It's not a secret anymore... but we still have some surprises for the exam day ISA ;) ...

The Idea is simple.. we tried to make it useful.. mm think about combining the power of Assembly.. (will be mentioned later) and the elegant code written on C++ (C# lovers will argue with that ;) )

When I said power of Assembly I meant basiclly two things :
- 1-1 matching.. means each Assembly lines will be equevilant to 1 instruction line
- Controling the hardware soooooo smoothly.. so flexible soo powerful..

When I said Elegant code of C++ I meant :
- Nice tidy understandable code...
- Basic OO concepts.. making the code more and more elegant.. flexible extenadble.. readable..

Assembly was not understandble.. if u wrote a 1800-line program (u can easily reach that number of lines) no body.. even u will be able to understand it after few days..
Assembly was not Elegant at all.. u write and write to make simple functions..

C++ was unpredictable.. u can never predict how this simple line will be translated in the output..
C++ has a very powerful control over the Hardware.. but misses one practical thing till now..
It's still something hard and costy for every Robot Manufucture (those who build their own Chips and MicroControllers) to build a C++ compiler for each chip they make..

So..
Our OO Assembly will -in case of elegant implementation ISA- combine all those prods together.. to give u a powerful implementation for basic OO Assembly -keeping in mind that we ommitted every OO Concept that may make the output unpredictable-..

Pray for us...
Hope we do it right..

Windows7 adds Math Input Panel

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh… I was reading a windows team post about Input Panels improvements in Windows7 [ here ]. When at the end I saw a very interesting –intuitive if you wish- new thing… which is, as you guessed, the Math Input Panel… Yes, that crappy font is mine… I “drew” that by mouse as I don’t have a tablet pen/pc. You can then paste it directly into word and it’ll recognize it as an editable equation… During my tests, the output panel (the top part) hanged, but I liked that the drawing panel was still responsive and I could still write/erase… till the top one started to respond again… One other thing to know, after you click Insert (that button down there) it copies the equation in MathML [ Wikipedia link ] format.. which is a standard way of representing equations and hence any application that recognizes the format can insert it not as an image but as a nice editable equation… If you think it recognized something wrong, you can click “Sele

Microsoft Web Platform Installer… coming near you

The Microsoft Web Platform Installer 2.0 (Web PI) is a free tool that makes it simple to download, install and keep up-to-date with the latest components of the Microsoft Web Platform, including Internet Information Services (IIS), SQL Server Express, .NET Framework and Visual Web Developer. In addition, install popular open source ASP.NET and PHP web apps with the Web PI.

Visual Studio 2008 Not saving changes or project properties?

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh (Peace upon you) I’ve recently ran into problems with VS 2008. Summarized here: When you try to edit the project properties (specially C++ projects) you are faced with a little nice message saying “Exception from HRESULT: 0xF9F0F308”. Sometimes when you are editing a file (specially large ones), VS doesn’t recognize you’ve made changes (ie doesn’t display that ‘*’ in the files tabs) hence, when you save, nothing actually gets saved. For those 2 problems, a friend explained the problem and a work around (till they officially release a fix)… Open up a Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt Run cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE" Make a backup copy of devenv.exe in case something does not work right. ie. copy devenv.exe devenv.exe.bak Run editbin /largeaddressaware:no devenv.exe Happy VSing… :)
