Read full descriptionHide full description
Program Codes is a program code download application (source codes). There are over 20 Windows applications in total. The codes are packed in a RAR file. After downloading, you need to unpack them and open the project in an IDE application. Project types are: C#, C++, Java. The codes only work in a Windows environment. The codes only need an IDE to compile and run programs after compilation. C# and C++ codes need Windows Visual Studio to compile. And Java codes Eclipse. The app is easy to use. To do this, press the Programs button in the main menu and you will see programs that you can download (Projects). Once you have selected an application, press the Open button. You can browse the application files and view them in the application tree. If you want to see the contents of the file, press the Content button, the file must be selected. You can see the contents of the files, not folders. If you want to download a Project, press the Download button. You can download the application if you have upgraded. This is a paid purchase. You can do this by pressing the Upgrade button in the Main menu. You can choose the location of the downloaded file on your device.

Scammers call, text, and email older adults every single week. Porchswing Protect is the calm, human answer โ built for seniors, backed by real technicians you can actually talk to. YOUR PHONE, PROTECTED Activate with the same code as your Porchswing Protect plan โ your iPhone or iPad takes one of your plan's device slots, right alongside your computer. The home screen shows you, in plain language, that you're protected. IS IT A SCAM? Almost every scam does one of three things: it pretends to be someone you trust, it stays vague, or it rushes you. The app walks you through all three in plain English โ plus a one-tap button to send us anything that worries you. A real person looks at it. SECURITY CHECKUP A friendly, step-by-step checkup: is your software up to date, is a passcode set, is Find My on, are unknown callers silenced? Seven checks, each with plain-English guidance. Nothing is ever faked โ a check only shows green when it's really true. SCAM ALERTS When a scam is going around โ a fake Medicare call, a phony delivery text โ we post an alert so you hear it from us first. GET HELP FROM A HUMAN One tap reaches your Porchswing technician. No phone trees, no offshore call centers. We're the company your senior center already knows. Porchswing Protect requires an active Porchswing Protect plan (purchased at porchswingtechnology.com or in person). Your plan covers this device and your computers together.
