Dave++

These are my favourite projects I’ve made. The are almost exclusively open source on Bitbucket or GitHub. My main language is C++ but I love experimenting with other languages, especially ones with different paradigms. So these are organised by the main language I’ve used in building them, but a lot of them use HTML + CSS + JavaScript as they are web based. These are sorted by how much experimentation I’ve done with them.

C#

• Calculator – A reverse polish notation command line calculator.

C++

• UnitC++ – A header only modern unit testing framework for C++.

Clojure

• Personal Wiki – A wiki like website written in clojure using mongodb. The pages are written in markdown and it uses CommonMark for converting markdown to html. This has also been deployed to heroku.

GO

• GeometryTable – an experiment in go of making a geometry database, displaying it as an image.

HTML5

• POP – a game based on a tutorial here.

Node.js

• Collaborative Whiteboard – This is a collaborative html whiteboard. There is a choice of pen colours and you can change your user name. This has also been deployed to heroku, and can be found here
• Dashboard – This was a collaborative effort with some other developers at a meetup group Birmingham Coding Sessions.

Python

• Markdown Editor – This is a split screen editor I wrote for writing and previewing markdown documents. It has many features such as; various markdown types, custom CSS, embedding images, spell checking. It is built in python using PyQt4 as the GUI framework.
• Roleplay Utils – Another PyQt4 application. This one is for making and recording dice rolls and displaying PDF files. It is meant to accompany playing role playing games such as D&D.
• Design Pattern in Python – I’m not sure if it counts, but this is a book I’ve been writing as a work in progress about how to apply gang of four design patterns to python.
