Rampant Studios – What are we up to? from Danny Goodayle on Vimeo.

I’ll put some tutorials up on how to do most of it soon, however until then I’ve made the code publicly available here:

I’ve recently started up a blog dedicated to developing games in the new Unreal Development Kit,

Check it out here!

I have a background in developing complex systems through my work with Grouptree where I was a C# Engineer for a year and before that, a ASP.net programmer for RedAnt Design. I was quite excited to learn we would be studying Java Programming for the first year as I’ve never done anything with Java and it’s a very well known language.

I did however not expect University level programming to consist of “Hello World” Application for a week and then after 2 months begin working on basic class concepts.

I am aware that this is the first year and I should have expected it to be basic, however, you wouldn’t walk into a Biology degree with no prior knowledge of Biology would you?

This just bugs me and the boredom associated with sitting in lectures day after day listening to the dumbed down examples. Just a note, this is not a dig at the lecturers or staff at Greenwich University, they really do know what they are doing. I’m just angry that people with prior experiance have to jump through hoops and hope they learn something new whilst trying to keep your sanity.

Anyway, enough with the ranting, I’m going to be using my copious spare time and dedicating it to developing the software i’ve been dying to write for a year now. I’ll keep you all posted.

Its basicly a list of EVERY jQuery function.

For those of you who don’t know what jQuery is, it is a javascript libary dramaticly reducing the development time of anything javascript based. It also has a large amount of tutorials out there on the net aswell as a very very nice graphical libary named jQuery UI.

As of this saturday i’ll be starting at the University of Greenwich to study Computer Science.

Hopefully I’ll do well but i’ll keep a log of my progress and will try to upload some demos.

You can use this to tick over share prices, news feeds, you name it. Very cool.

If people want, I can put up a tutorial on how to update the feed automaticly.

Thanks,
