Geeks3D Programming Links – July 08, 2011

Here are some links I tweeted or retweeted about coding, programming and other stuff for developers. If you have a link, just send me a tweet @JeGX.

• OpenGL: Learning Modern 3D Graphics Programming.
• All about 64-bit programming in one place: tons of links on the topic of 64-bit C/C++ software development.
• Top 25 Most Dangerous Software Errors (SQL injection, buffer overflow, etc.)
• A trip through the Graphics Pipeline 2011: part 1 to 7
• Ogre 3D: News #11.
• 3D display using a kinect: what you’re seeing is a monitor lying flat on a table. The Kinect detects the position of your head and the software adjusts the image to give the illusion of an object standing on the monitor.
  
  
  
• Downsampling with ISPC. ISPC is Intel’s SPMD Program Compiler, an open-source compiler for high-performance SIMD programming on the CPU.
• OpenCL Programming Book in HTML format.
• Containers, iterators and algorithms: STL pocket reference.
• Writing a “Pre-Main” function: Forcing global initialization order within VC++.
• Cool visualization of sorting algorithms
• Ogre 3D: News #11.
• Python: Parsing C++ in Python with Clang.
• Cascade Shadow Maps in XNA.
• WebCL: Samsung’s WebCL Prototype for WebKit. WebCL for WebKit project is an early implementation of WebCL for the open source WebKit browser engine.
• First WebCL Demos Arrive: WebCL N-body simulation demo:

• WebGL: does your browser support it? Check it here: doesmybrowsersupportwebgl.com.
• Demojs prods available HERE.
• Why is C++ So Fast?
• Embree: Photo-Realistic Ray Tracing Kernels.
  The kernels have been developed at Intel Labs. They are optimized for photo-realistic rendering on the latest Intel processors with support for the SSE and AVX instruction sets.
• Janimation shows off its facial animations with their new engine. Get ready to have your mind blown with this glimpse at the future of game graphics:
