4/21 - We will be having a speaker at 5pm to talk about Virtual Lighting Environments

4/23 - Adam Marsh, a FSU alumni, will be joining us at 5pm to discuss his VOIP implementation

Be sure to come to both and bring a friend!

ACM has officially restarted for the semester!

The meetings will be every Tuesday at 5pm, just like last semester.

Today we watched some samples of what can be done with Regular Expressions (Regex) in Java. Sample code was demonstrated allowing a webpage to be scraped and all jpg images downloaded. Keep an eye out in the code section for the source.

No meeting, Happy Thanksgiving!

Today we watched an ACM member demonstrate a java program that could analyze nearly every attribute of the computer it was running on. Even more interesting, the program was run from a standalone Netbeans loaded on a flashdrive. If you want to see how this was done, come to the next meeting!

Today we discussed the Ruby and Prolog programming languages. We watched demonstrations of simple programs such as a bubble sort and the Fibonacci sequence in action.

Information and tutorials on Ruby can be found at  tryruby.hobix.com

Information on Prolog can be found at swi-prolog.com

Due to the excitement of election night, the meeting was cancelled.

Today we saw another demonstration from our fearless leader. The topic was Java’s 2D drawing capabilities: We started by creating basic shapes using JFrames, we then moved to animation and finally implemented multiple threads for a smoother program. Expect the source code to be posted on the site within the next few days.

Today we watched a Java demonstration of client/server programs. Example code was given for a simple chat program and a more advanced drawing program. Come to the next meeting and ask if you’d like to see any of it. We also discussed different Java IDEs including Netbeans, Eclipse and IntelliJ.

Mid-terms caused only one member to show up this week. It ended up being more of an officer convention than an actual meeting…
