C Language Tutorial
I wrote this a while ago as a supplementary course material for Introductory C Programming Language.
C++ STL Tutorial
Also known as C++ Standard Library. This tutorial demonstrates how to use many of the powerful STL classes to solve common programming tasks. I wrote this back in 1998. A couple of chapters were never completed.
C++ Interview Quiz
I wrote this quiz about 10 years ago (1998). There are nine quizes with answers that are appropriate for measuring the skills of intermediate to advanced C++ programmers.
C++ and Object-Oriented Programming Tutorial
This is a course material I wrote for a graduate course. It includes lecture notes, home assignment project, and lab projects. It is intended for students who completed C language course (it was not meant for compete beginner).
SQL Server 2000 Tutorial
I wrote this when I took a job where I was required to write stored procedures, which I had never done. I remember that I was overwhelmed by these tables that had 'sys' in front of it. This tutorial explorers SQL Server by learning about these 'sys' tables. (Most part of this tutorial should also apply to newer versions of SQL Server such as SQL Server 2005/2008)
SQL Server Code Snippets
This is a collection of SQL snippets for Microsft SQL Server 2000 (should work for any 200x version). This includes faily basic but essential SQL operations.
Microsoft PowerShell Script Snippets
Microsoft PowerShell is by far the best scripting facility on Windows platform. These are basic script commands I wrote to teach myself this scripting language. I wish we all give up CMD right away and move to PowerShell (I know we can't... all these existing scripts..)
Compuware NuMega SoftICE Tutorial
This covers some basic but important topics on how to use SoftICE debugger. Each page shows sample SoftICE screenshots so that you can relate concepts to outputs. I wrote these when I worked as a support engineer at NuMega.
Microsoft Windows Programming FAQ (Win32)
A collection of basic questions about Windows programming using Win32 (no MFC here). Nowadays, if you program in .NET languages (like I do), these details are hidden deep underneath, but understanding Win32 level API helps you, especially when you have to resort to P-Invoke style native calls.
Microsoft Windows Programming Tutorial (Win32)
This is based on the course material I wrote for a Windows Programming in a college. It starts with bare-minimum Windows application and gradually adds to it. It includes full project source files, course presentation (Microsoft PowerPoint slides), and project annotation for detailed descriptions of the source files.
XSLT Tutorial
Very simple tutorial that just covers the basics. XSLT might appear strange at first but if you get he basics, it is pretty easy to work with. Even though I wrote this long time ago, XSLT standard hasn't changed so it stil applies, to my surprise.
