Type: Tutorial

Hoping against hope not to be yet another impoverished college student, Greg Brooks began bonus whoring as a way to generate extra income during his studies. In the spring of 2006, however, he changed his focus to actually playing the game and playing the game to win.

When we pick a coach to come aboard Leggo, if I do not think I personally can learn a lot from him, we dont even consider bringing him on, explains Greg, adding, There are no second rate hirings.

With the help of coaching, Greg worked his way up in stakes and finally had his breakthrough when he banked 25,000 in his first full month at 1/2 NL on PartyPoker. He continued forward, crushing 2/4NL and 3/6NL for over 6ptbb/100 along the way to online poker celebrity.

In August, 2007, Greg and Chris Tickner began the process of developing LeggoPoker, which launched in November that year.

Today, you can find Greg playing 25/50NL and 50/100NL, as well as partaking in his significant role in the company. Not so shabby for a former youth soccer referee.

To Greg, the hardest part of excelling through the journey, posed by the challenges of poker, is the ability to backtrack and assess your faults as a player. This is especially true when the pace of improvement inexorably slows down.

Without pride in his way, Greg still holds conversations with other Leggo coaches about strategy.

Three years from now, Greg hopes to still be playing poker professionally, while expanding LeggoPoker to its fullest potential in the poker education market.

Although he still lives with a busy schedule, Greg is a full time college student attending Wake Forest University. He plans to graduate with a Communications Major and Entrepreneurship Minor.

Were guessing that is just the start for MYNAMEIZGREG.

Greg is currently accepting new students. If you are interested, please contact him through the private messaging system. Greg is able to provide numerous references from former students if requested.

FXPHD: NUK303 - Nuke Stereoscopic Master Class (Complete)

2011-07-05T19:05:00.001-07:00

FXPHD: NUK303 - Nuke Stereoscopic Master Class (Complete)
Video: MPEG4 (.mov) H264 1152*720 25.00fps | Audio: AAC 44100Hz mono 64kbps | 4.07GB
Genre: eLearning | Language: English

Professor Russell Dodgson will be throwing you in the deep end with a 10 week look at a full stereo production exercise. Based around the presentations from the Foundry’s recent Masterclass, Dodgson will be examining the project in intricate depth taking students from a raw plate through a variety of stereo production techniques including Ocula, Camera Projection, UV Mapping, Keying, 3d Texture Painting for compositors, Camera Tracking, Depth Grading and of course… clean up.

If you attended or watched the class in London, why should you join this course? While the masterclass was a great overview of the techniques used, this course will go into much greater detail and show much more specifically how the shot was finished. As with most fxphd courses, you'll also get access to the footage so that you can finish the shot yourself. By approaching the shot from a variety of angles the course will take you in detail through a wide range of nukes capabilities and how these techniques can all be used to assist you in creating a successful stereo result, all on a shot pushing 1000 frames!

Dodgson in currently Senior Nuke Compositor at Framestore Commercials in London and is heavily involved in developing their commercials stereo pipeline. He was an early convert to Nuke and has been working closely with the Foundry for several years as a beta tester, helping influence the development of some of their more recent additions to Nuke. This year he was heavily involved in the Foundry’s stereo Masterclass in London, both directing the shoot and teaching at the event. His recent work has included Harry Potter, the latest Kia campaign and the cinematic for Activision’s DJ Hero. A firm believer in the importance of having a thorough understanding of the production process Russell is co-founder of the creative partnership One Red Pixel, and has extensive experience in shoot production and supervision. He is also a budding director.

CLASSES:

Class 1: An introduction to the shot that we will be working on throughout the course. We’ll look at the shoot material and assess the plates for in-camera issues. We’ll then go through the workflow for the shot and what needs to be done to the plate before handing it off to other departments. This will include lens distortion and several methods of approaching a global colour match. Note: heroplate is split into 8 downloads. The first 4 are distributed here, the next 4 will be distributed next week.
Class 2: Moving onto using 3d Camera Projection and UV Projection to remove lens flares and grip equipment. Through these techniques we learn how fixing one eye with projection we get the fix for the other eye for free.

Class 3: A more in-depth examination of the plate fixing process. We’ll be removing lens flares and grip equipment, and fixing polarization issues.

Class 4: Ready. Set. Pain! We’ll be looking at paint, roto and keying in stereo. [Pre- and post-class meditation is strongly advised.]

Class 5: This week we delve into Maya to layout our scene. We begin with a 10 min intro to Maya for total beginneres and then move on to learn to layout organise our geometry before fbx exporting it into Nuke. We then rebuild the scene in Nuke and learn to set up Image planes to match the way we are working in Maya.

Class 6: This week we first setup our past script as a precomp and then move on to writing a python tool to speed up our workflow. Following this we delve into UV space with a quick explanation of its principals and then a demonstration of how we can take advantage of it Nuke. We then finish up with our road extension.

Class 7: This week we pick up from last weeks look into Nuke’s UV Space by learning how we can incorporate 3d texture painting software such as Mudbox into our workflow. We then move over to Maya to see how we can bake out Occlusion Maps into UV space. We then take a look at how these elements go together to make a fully uv’d asset in Nuke.
Class 8: This week, we finish up learning the techniques required to allow students to move on with the rest of the shot. This includes finishing up the topic of uv’ing, layering up some cg renders and taking a look at a collection of extra assets and how they are put together.

Class 9: This week we learn how to finish our stereo shot up. We learn how to do our depth grade using Ocula and discuss the application of grain in stereo shots. We also learn some magic using ST Maps!

Class 10: In the final class we take a look at Camera Tracking our stereo shot inside of Nuke. We go through the iterative process of getting a good solve and also discuss the relationship between the focal length and our film back.

CBT nuggets Cisco CCIE Video Practice Lab
English | ISO | Wmv | 180kbps | 48000hz | 2 channel | 508Mb
Genre: e-learning

The eight-hour hands-on lab portion of the CCIE certification exams is the most rigorous part of becoming CCIE certified. These videos will give you problem-solving knowledge, techniques and confidence to solve scenarios like those given on the exams.Meant to compliment our Cisco CCIE Certification Package, trainer Jeremy Cioara goes through a networking scenario in real-time with you. He starts at setup, then covers diagnosing the problem, implementing an effective solution and debugging along the way.

Because the videos follow Cioara through the problem solving process in real-time, it is easy to learn the thought processes behind his techniques for identifying and solving network problems. By understanding why he solves problems in the ways that he does, you'll be better at coming up with your own solutions for new problems that you come across.

These videos map to the exam objectives for the CCIE lab exam, but they are just as useful on the job as on the exam. With the knowledge contained in these videos, you will become better at running networks, whether you are preparing for CCIE certification or not.

Note: effective February 1, 2009, Cisco added on-the-spot interview questions to the CCIE lab to catch people who are "brain dumping" the exam (memorizing stolen objectives & commands to pass). People that prepare using CBTNuggets are not brain dumping; they are learning the actual concepts and objectives.

This series consists of 20 videos that provide more than 11 hours of instruction. It is recommended that you have the skills and knowledge discussed in the Cisco CCIE Certification Package prior to viewing this video series.

NOTE: The CCIE Exam has been updated to cover new information on MPLS, as well as some additional information on Security and IPv6.

This training has not yet been updated to cover these concepts. This training still maps to all other exam objectives and will help you greatly as you prepare for the CCIE Lab exam.

For information on updates and future product releases, please see our Videos in Development page.

Pragmatic Programmers - The Ruby Object Model and Metaprogramming screencast

2011-05-23T23:35:00.003-07:00

Pragmatic Programmers - The Ruby Object Model and Metaprogramming screencast
English | MOV | Audio: aac 44100Hz 64 b/s | Video: qtrle 207kb/s 3000.00 fps(r) | 550Mb
Genre: eLearning

Episode 1: Objects and Classes (29 minutes)
Just what is a Ruby object, and how can Ruby move you away from class-oriented development and back to object-oriented development? Learn about:

the internals of objects,
how classes really aren’t anything special,
what self does, and the two ways it can get changed
the method call mantra: “one to the right, then up,”
singleton methods and ghost classes,
why class methods don’t exist,
how classes get their names,
how the concept of the current class interacts with def

Episode 2: Sharing Behavior (39 minutes)
One of the primary goals of good design is to put the right behavior in the right place without duplication. We’ll see three ways Ruby excels at this:

Using prototype-based programming, where you can create hierarchies of objects with controlled sharing of both state and behavior, and without a class definition in sight.
using inheritance (but you can only watch this section after you’ve watched the included Public Safety announcement on why inheritance is normally a bad idea). We’ll also look at what happens when you do class << object (and why it’s nothing whatsoever to do with inheritance).
using modules and mixins, the sweet spot of Ruby programming. How to using include and extend, and how to create modules that mix in both instance and class methods.

Episodes 1 and 2 are the foundation for the rest of the screencast.
Episode 3: Dynamic Code (31 minutes)
Metaprogramming is sometimes defined as “writing code that writes code.” Here we’ll see just how to do that in Ruby.

Blocks and the two kinds of block-objects
How bindings capture execution context
How blocks can act as closures, and why that’s vital to metaprogramming
Writing methods that define other methods using nested defs
Using define_method
Writing your own accessor methods

Episode 4: instance_eval and class_eval (29 minutes)
Two of the workhorse methods of metaprogramming are instance_eval and class_eval. They allow you to execute chunks of code dynamically. Here we’ll see how to use them.

How instance_eval and class_eval differ
When to use one versus the other
Breaking down barriers
Creating methods on the fly, but without using closures
Defining stuff in classes given a class object
Writing DSLs in a block structure

Episode 5: Nine Examples of Metaprogramming (36 minutes)
Here’s where all the theory and practice comes together! We’ll take a simple problem and find nine different ways of attacking it using metaprogramming techniques.

Adding behavior directly inside the class
Using subclassing to add behavior
Subclassing with a generator using Class.new
Using a ghost class
Ghost class with a generator using class_eval
Rewrite the method with alias_method
Rewrite using a module
Rewrite using bind
Writing a DSL in a block

Episode 6: Some Hook Methods (35 minutes)
Ruby hook methods are a way for your application to hook itself into the execution of the Ruby interpreter. Using hook methods is crucial for some kinds of metaprogramming, and they can make your code more flexible. In this episode, we’ll see how to use two powerful hook methods: inherited and const_missing.

Overriding hook methods to intercept and deal with certain Ruby interpreter events during the lifetime of your application
Decoupling code using inherited to keep track of subclasses
Implementing enumerated types with const_missing
Using const_missing to autoload classes based on the names of files
Applying const_missing in both global and localized situations
How to chain an overridden hook method to its original hook method
Using const_set to define constants
Two practical uses for hook methods

Episode 7: More Hook Methods (53 minutes)
We’ll pick up where we left off in the last episode by looking at two more Ruby hook methods: included and method_added. But we’ll also take it a step further. We’ll use these hook methods to develop a metaprogramming library that traces the execution of a Ruby program. Along the way we’ll see all the various subtle (and important!) things you need to think about when you’re trying to write a general-purpose metaprogramming library.

Using included to intercept when a module is included in a class, and use it to set up another hook method in a different context
Using method_added to track when a new method is defined on a class, and trace the method’s execution
Refactoring the tracing to support blocks
Using method objects to bypass naming issues
Adding tracing to methods that have already been added
Suppressing tracing for certain methods
Using Thread.current to define thread-local variables
Differences between Ruby 1.8 and 1.9
Practical examples (and corner cases) of metaprogramming

PC Magazine - June 2011 (US)
English | PDF | 66 pages | 19.5 Mb

Most important technology publication in the world. PC magazine is America's #1 technology magazine, delivering authoritative, lab-based comparative reviews of technology products and services to more than 6.6 million professionals every issue. PC magazine is the only publication with in-depth reviews and accurate, repeatable testing from PC magazine Labs placed in the unique context of today's business technology landscape. PC magazine (sometimes referred to as PC Mag) is a computer magazine that was published monthly in the United States both in print and online until January 2009.

In November 2008 is was announced that the print edition of the magazine would be discontinued, however the online version would live on. The magazine is published by Ziff-Davis Publishing Holdings Inc. The first edition was released in January 1982 as a monthly called PC (the "Magazine" was not added to the logo until the first major redesign in January 1986).PC magazine was created by David Bunnell and financed by Tony Gold, former owner of Lifeboat Associates. The magazine grew beyond the capital required to publish it, to solve this problem Tony Gold sold the magazine to Ziff Davis and moved it to New York. David Bunnell and his staff left to form PC World magazine. PC magazine moved to biweekly publication in 1983 after a single monthly issue swelled to more than 800 pages. As of early 2009, the magazine will exist only as an online publication.
