Hi, I'm an experianced programmer from Spectrum, Amiga, VBA, VB6, MS Access.

But have not touched Java at all, I just wondered if its possible to make any cash writing software (games/apps) for mobile phones.

I guess there are loads of people already doing this.

Please let me know what you think, thanks, Rick, in UK.

Sure you can make some money. I don't think you are going to get rich doing it, but it might be fun.

Hi,

I would never say that there is going to be a huge amount of cash in the area of open source code programming. However, the company I work for makes its money writing custom mobile applications for businesses. That is really where the good money is, mobilising existing applications and processes within businesses increases the workers productivity and thats every bosses dream, so that would be the market i would target!

Dear all, I have an application which is suppose to start another executable process. As soon as that process is running, I need to retrive its handle. The problem of the particular process I am starting is that it has a welcome window first which gets displayed and then the real windows after a while,in other words it means that the process name is the same, but the handle I need to retrive is the one from the final window and not the...

Folks, We're implementing a software based mirroring solution. This solution requires that the SQL Server service on the target server be stopped while data is being replicated from the source server. One problem we encountered while testing was that the SQL Server Service on the target server was inadvertantly started when users selected that server in Enterprise Manager. Is there any way to keep the service from starting through...

We're using the ServiceController class provided by the .NET Framework, programming in C#. We are using the Start() method to start a service from another service. This works fine most of the time, but occasionally after a system startup (where the service doing the starting of the other is automatically started by Windows XP) the ServiceController's Start() method fails to start the other service. It is probably throwing an...

I know that functions starting with an underscore, or two underscores, are reserved by the compiler/c++ and should not be used by the user and may cause undefined behavior. My question is, how likely is it to actually cause undefined behavior? The reason I'm asking is I'm using a game engine where the sockets code is not working correctly on my computer, but seems to work correctly on everyone elses. I am not compiling the dll myself,...

Mostly for testing reasons I'd like to see if it makes sense to chose the following approach for just-in-time compilation of shaders for a renderer: Seeing as the shaders themsefs consist mostly of very basic operations I'd like to translate them into assembly, have an assembler compile the binary code and then call the resulting machine code from c++. The thing is that up until now I have only used inline assembly in my c++ projects,...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
