Parameter Binding: Native API/Native Code vs SourcePro DB

In the previous article, we walked through an example of how to query and retrieve data from a MySQL database using the native MySQL C API and then compared that to the clean simplicity of using the SourcePro DB API. In this article, we are going to take that a step further and look at input parameter binding. Building off the system we discussed previously that manages the accounts for a credit card system, we are now going to implement a simple application that can add transactions to an account.

Version Control for Binary Files: Your Best Options

A lot of teams are starting to look for version control for binary files. As more teams adopt game engine technology, they produce more art assets, builds, and other files that they need to store and track. A lot of version control tools simply don’t do a good job with versioning or storing large binary files, like game engine files. Managing these files efficiently becomes a serious issue the more a team and their projects grow. You need the right version control for large binary files.

How to Set Up Perforce Typemap - P4 Typemap

Game development and virtual production studios use game engines to create the unbelievable. But with game engines— like Unreal Engine or Unity — project assets are stored as large binaries. To efficiently collaborate on and manage these assets, version control systems need to treat them differently than other file types. Most version control companies cannot manage these binary files.
