This is some of the code I have written over the years. I have written my code for a number of reasons. Mostly the code was class or work driven. However my Java code was inspired by my desire to learn Java, a wonderfull language I am still fighting to get working on my mac. I doubt anyone will use any of my code in any sort of commercial application, but I would like to expressly state that anyone who wants to should contact me. I don't care if anyone uses it in a GPL or LGPL program. To learn more about GPL or Open Source , click the links.

These are my Java Applets. Please note that these applets are written in Java 1.0, that is the Java version I am currently learning. Don't ask why I didn't learn v1.2 (yes, it was available), it is a long story.LEGAL NOTICE: All code here is protected by the copyright laws of the United States of America.

• Simple Lamp Drawing
  This is a really simple applet that I got form my "Learn Java in 21 days book". It basically illustrates how different shapes can be used to do simple line drawings.
  
  
• Colorfull Boxes
  This is another simple applet. It draws many boxes and then fills them with color. This is another book example, combined with some basic interactivity.
  To Use: Every time the mouse is clicked the boxes are redrawn with different colors.
  
  
• Simple Lines
  This is a simple line drawing class. It uses a method to extend the arrays used to hold the points of the lines.
  To Use: Click in the white drawing area, drag the mouse, let go to place the line.
  
  
• Simple Spots
  This is a simple drawing applet, except with spots instead of lines. Again it uses my copyrighted extendarray method (grin, this is before I found out about vectors), it also will draw spots when the mouse is held down. I would have used double buffering except clipping handled the flicker so well.
  To Use: Click on the screen or click and drag to place little blue dots.
  
  
• Color Clock
  This is a clock applet that changes color as time passes. I am fairly proud of this one. It uses double buffering and some other cool stuff.

More to come.

I was motivated to learn Perl through work and I have enjoyed it very much. Perl is a great language for many tasks. I have also enjoyed learning CGI with Perl. The use of the CGI.pm makes it great for doing interactive web pages. I am also learning SQL, which makes a great partner with Perl for dynamic web content.

• Perl Library
  This is my library file of usefull perl functions. Some are rather ugly, such as making a "system ls" rather than using "readdir". This is a reflection of the fact that I had to start programming Perl before I read the entire Perl book, and I still am reading (the cookbook too)!

• Perl Template
  This is for my benefit mostly. I usually code in a particular way, with comments and checking for arguments, sub routine placements, debug variable, etc. And I got tired of doing it from scratch, or rather of copying the last script and cutting out almost everything. So here is a little template if anyone is interested in my rather anal programming style.
