Server Maintenance at Monday 2.5.2011

I need to do some work at the serverside. It can happen that the page is not available for a while then. Hopefully just one or two hours when everything works well. But don`t panic when it`s a bit longer. The page will definitely be back online 😉

I will start the work at Monday, 2.5.2011.

Jonathon S. Harbour`s Visual Basic Book rereleased

I totally forgot to post this news at my page. The move is still keeping me busy, heh.

Jonathon S. Harbour is a freelance writer who writes books about programming.  Now he has released the third edition of the book Visual Basic – Game programming for teens. What`s so exciting about it you may ask. Well. The book uses lots of my graphics 🙂

The book itself describes all necessary steps to create a little 2D RPG with Visual Basic, and goes from absolute Novice to Pro. Or to quote the book description:

“Visual Basic Game Programming for Teens, Third Edition” teaches beginning game programming students how to create their own 2D role-playing game (RPG) using the free to download and easy to use Visual Basic 2008 Express. The game is built step-by-step throughout the book as readers learn new skills and build upon them. This new edition features almost entirely new content from the previous edition and students will also learn game tool creation, animation skills, and graphics programming.”

Interested? You can find the book at Amazon for example.

Deadlinks

The move has produced a bit more deadlinks than i had expected. Mario has reported me about two complete pages where all the links were broken. 2D Misc and 2D Environment. Search and replace has its flaws, heh. The links are fixed now. Thanks to Mario for the report 🙂

I have also run a special WordPress plugin called Broken Link Checker, which told me about 20 more deadlinks. And i hope that i have catched all baddies now 🙂
