Papervision 3d Project: What went wrong, What could be improved

I spent some time this summer working on a new homepage for the basement using Papervision. It was mainly a learning experience and the project never saw the light of day... partly due to the fact that it hogged cpu and partly due to the face it didn't turn out quite like we had hoped. You can see for yourself here. The only objects in the screen are 3D planes and custom 3D geometry. The (translate)

Creating our Domain Objects - ColdBox Series Part 6

Now that we have our database tables set up from our UML and our folder structure has been created we can begin creating our domain objects (Technically we could have done it first, it could probably be argued both ways). Code Generator I am going to use Brian Rinaldi's Illudium PU-36 Code Generator to help create my domain objects. Since Illudium uses the database tables to create the objects, we needed to have the database set up first. To see the MySQL DDL script check out part 2 of this series. [More] (translate)

He embraces the idea of continuing Bushs faith-based initiative. He said he was picked last on a sports team as a boy. He said it taught him to work hard and persevere. His favorite childhood Halloween costume was a pirate. (translate)

As mentioned in the above blog post, we all have our own favorite working methods, tricks and tools for completing projects and, as I have already mentioned here before, I have really tried to refine my process (translate)

I spent the past few weekends writing a parallel coordinates plot.   For the uninitiated, parallel coordinates plots are used to show the relationships between items in a multidimensional dataset.  Three dimensional data points can be difficult enough to visualize on a two dimensional screen, and when you throw even more dimensions into the problem, things [...] (translate)
