While you are Dreaming.In.Code do you wish you had more Kudos or a Thumbdrive but just don’t have any good ideas for a tutorial? Well I have a bunch but just don’t have the time to write them all. So I decided to start the recommended tutorial topics list. If you see a topic you would like to tackle reply with your topic so we know someone is on it. If you can think of another good topic suggest it and I will add it to the list.
Most of these topics are very broad and only represent the basic subject matter. I am more than willing to suggest smaller sub-topics in any of these areas if you still can’t think of a project. . STL Topics:
Using particular STL Containers, especially these: vector, deque, list, map queue, and stack. (thanks to jjhaag for the vectors (I & II) & deques)
Please remember that all tutorials are reviewed for technical content by the moderators. None of us are professional editors but we do try to ensure that you do not embarrass yourself with incorrect content or ridiculously bad grammar. For the most part we will work with you to get a great tutorial out there.

well, even I was thinking of writing some tutorials on Cryptography [It is too vast so I there will be tutorials and not tutorial ], but had no time to do it.
but I will try to make them here now.
But most of the things in topics like cryptography or algorithms or AI are theory and can be done in any language. That's why I am bit confused about where to put them.
And I would suggest to have some tutorials on things like

Well for the moment there is no general tutorial area. Secondly it helps to see implementation in code. We are not talking about "articles" but "tutorials" which imply a kind of "hands on" approach. Chris is thinking about the idea of a Computer Science / Theory / Software Development etc tutorial section, but until it is here we have to work with what we got. Lastly, I want to get as many C/C++ tutorials as I can so we can talk smack to the Java and VB forums.

Data compression is an awesome topic. There are many techniques that could be fully described, using dictionaries, masks, etc Including some of the widely distributed types such as zip and mpeg compressions.
I wish that I had time to take on the Neural Nets topic, though to be honest there is a whole lot of theory that goes behind making that stuff understandable. I have an adaptive pong program somewhere that would make a good example, not too complex, and yet shows many of the deeper concepts in a rather simple application. -- problem is that it pretty much sucks as playing pong. If left to play against its self it becomes perfect, but a human can beat it very easily (the way you hit the ball/box makes it behave differently, and it does not take that into consideration). -- course that program in Java too.
Actually this idea of working with 3D polygons in a tutorial is a very good one. I don't have AutoCAD myself to play with, but you could generating an XML file and then using XSLT to convert it to the DXF file format. That would be cool. Then other XSLT scripts could be used to convert the data to other formats that might be better for other rendering platforms (such as SVG to use with a browser).
hey nickndmax, if u know of any good ebooks and tutorials on parsing please give me the link .it would it would also be appreciated if u shed more light on parsing yourself for me.
