I'm not a photgrapher, I'm a programmer!

Yep looks like mumbo-jumbo to me hehehe
Nice one ..... Skippy (Australia)

Nice shot Code Monkey

i spent 1 year in C++ language what a difficult thing to do i always admire people who do programming
great photo

jsedlak

Thanks!

I saw it in photoshop... and was like "this reeks of stock photo". I am not sure why, but it feels very much like one of those photos you see on a programming website; used as a logo or something. lol

aacckkk... code!

Good work.
Nice angle.
Good all the way around to my meager eyes.

I particularly like the way you have the brackets placed on the following line... and it's a nice shot too! I tried a shot like this recently with my brother's Japanese math notes, I haven't had time to check them to see how they came out.

jsedlak

Thanks all... It was a suprisingly interesting shot.

I can understand all the acks about it being code too, it is the way I feel about a lot of things in photography! All things in due time though.

El Kiwi - I am interested in how those shots came out! Be sure to post em!

Are you declaring new as part of a function call in the last line of the previous function? I hope this is Java, or you'll end up with either a leak or a painful delete process if something else calls that function....

Sorry, I couldn't let it pass. It's a great shot

probably... I do not remember now, if I had declared it it probably would have gone out of scope and been picked up by the Garbage Collection. I am using C#, not Java for Microsoft's XNA.

Aaaack...debugging a pic.

Sorry, wrong field... cool code shot, though! :ivar

I guess I'm just old school-- I must control my pointers! I must know how deletion happens! You whippersnappers with your garbage collection and your color coded IDEs and your <slap>

OK, I'm better now

you call urself a coder ? who puts comments in their code ? wtf ??

jk, nice shot

Personally, I don't understand this mentality...I have worked with lots of coders who insist on using C++ even for the most menial of tasks. I have always taken the approach the right tool for the right job.

But whatever floats ur boat i guess.

jsedlak

hehe! Didn't know we had so many coders here...

Code is Microsoft sample code of how to use System.Net.Sockets for Network programming. It was horrible code that wasn't useful at all (it worked though) so I had to ditch it and write from scratch.

I try to be very careful about what data is in memory and what is being deleted, but it is VERY inefficient for me to go around forcing a Gargage Collection for every item that goes out of scope because GC takes awhile. Since I am making a game engine, I need every ounce of performance, even if that means leaving a few null references in the garbage to be picked up. I like that about GC, it only runs when it needs to. So far I haven't seen any problems and assume it doesn't run until I quit...

At the risk of getting seriously off-topic, and with the caveat that I know the JDK much better than the .NET runtime... you shouldn't ever force garbage collection, with Java at least. Modern JVMs are frankly unbelievable, and there's increasing evidence that for many applications Java is now faster than native C/C++, often significantly so, pretty much solely because of GC and fast object allocation. The JVM knows best.... and although for games obviously you don't want any big performance hiccups, incremental GC is pretty advanced now. Premature optimisation is bad, folks :-)

Getting back on topic, is that a photo of printed code on paper, or on screen? I don't think I've ever tried to photograph a screen image, I guess it should be ok with an LCD or a longish exposure. Unfortunately I can't find my photos of my bro's notes, either they're on my temporarily missing CF card, or I stupidly deleted them in-camera. I have no recollection of doing that though.
