Coding Samples

The coding samples on this page are little projects that I more than likely did in class. Nothing extravagant and for the most part pretty boring. But if that’s your thing (or you have issues figuring something out in your own class) then this might interest you. I doubt it.

C# and .NET Samples

Social Networking Broadcaster

Download: http://eldorian.com/codesample/SocialNetworkingBroadcaster.zip

Date: Early 2010

Description: Social Networking Broadcaster is a proof of concept for a windows application I was going to develop as some free lance work. The proof of concept would just show we could easily connect to multiple Facebook accounts (and was going to eventually add Twitter) with a few easy clicks. The client was looking for something they could add a bunch of accounts to use for marketing purposes. The login information is hard coded in for simplicity of the proof of concept but if it was going into actual development this wouldn’t have been the case. Unfortunately the client couldn’t agree on a price point and went another direction – so development beyond this was never completed. This was written in .NET/C# using the Facebook API (before the recent changes in April 2010).

Seconds to Military Time Converter

Date: Late 2009

Description: This is a relatively simple application I made to help speed up some time that a coworker was spending on her Excel spreadsheet documents. She was having to convert codes she was getting with her Fox Pro program into time frames for reporting purposes. She was doing this all manually with the conversion in Excel. This program grabbed the file and then converted the process in seconds spitting back out the converted file. Saved her over an hour or two of work she had to do each day.

Weather Page

Date: 2005

Description: This was the first ever .NET page I put together and it’s fairly rough – but it’s actually still being used today. The farmer telephone company uses this page to broadcast the weather on their channel so it cycles through the 4 ASPX pages. The data is grabbed from the national weather service feed and then parsed out. That information I then put into labels based on what is returned. The images are based on those numbers so for example if sunny == 1 then it will display the sunny graphic. Pretty basic stuff and not pretty – but was my first project in .NET.

Java Samples

/*
* J. R. Cook
* CIS247
* Final Program
*
* This program will ask the user for up to 25 last names and then display the last names
* in the order they were entered, and then alphabetically, and then descending order, and
* then alphabetically in upper case, alphabetically in lower case, and finally alphabetically
* with the first letter capitalized and the rest lower case.
