HOW TO INSTALL BLOGENGINE.NET WITH VISUAL STUDIO.

Yes there are lots of article on the internet that already describes how to do this, but that wont stop me from sharing my own idea on how I got mine rocking with visual studio 2012. Now here is the story, I woke up one morning and discovered I was departing from being a beginner programmer to a programmer who is at least worthy to be called a programmer. So I felt I needed to share my programming experience and the only known way I could do that, was to start blogging, hmmm... Just like you, I didn't like blogger, I needed  to be my own boss. So, I started my own blog project, but wait....  Why was I doing that when there are open source blog projects being developed and maintained by developers who are more "programmatically" experienced than I?. BlogEngine was the one I chose and the installation was a breeze. All I did was go to the site, downloaded the first zip file which is tagged "web", extracted it to my visual studio project directory, opened vi...

Planning your programming project

Programming is one of the most complex tasks that exits. You may have gained hacking skills through your programming career, you may be a good code maintainer or a networking geek, but it takes more than your programming skills to put codes that do complex jobs together. With my little programming knowledge, I wanted to make  a very simple mathematics game program with Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). Simple, I called it... I started it  without planning, believe me, it took me a whole month to complete this little thing. Well, I thought the reason why that took so long was because I was a biginner, but when a client brought a job specification that is similar or more complex than the maths program, I did it in two weeks without working round the clock. So, I realised what I was doing wrong, the specification my client brought was a detailed one and everything was on point and I also had a deadline which reminded me I wasn't joking. To make use of the new skill I ga...

HOW TO MAKE A SIMPLE TEXT TO SPEECH(TTS) WINDOWS PROGRAM USING C# PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE.

This post is a beginner's guide on how to get started with speech programming in visual studio using c# (c_sharp) programming language. For those who don't know what a programming language is, in a nut shell, a programming language is simply a command based computer language used for instructing a computer to do a particular job. When I say job, I mean very complex job. Write the above definition in an exam and stand a chance of losing marks. The definition isn't all there is about what programming language is, so I suggest you make a good search to learn what programming language really is. Though, this article is for beginners but I will say "BEGINNERS ARE CLASSIFIED", am a beginner. If you are a beginner who hasn't tasted code in his or her life before, I suggest you go start something. A good learning source is "tutorial point", they taught me a lot. Now for you who have tasted code, you will need the following: Computer System running wind...
