It is very successful at each level. http://devnet.developerpipeline.com/documents/s=9843/060330_je01/ Alex Krapf discusses the challenges developers face when integrating source code from different programming languages such as Java and C++. (MP3, 5:40 mins.) http://devnet.developerpipeline.com/documents/s=9843/ddj0604f/ The Visual Studio installer places Visual Studio shared libraries in a location called the "side-by-side cache." Here's what you need to know to leverage it. http://devnet.developerpipeline.com/documents/s=9843/ddj0604h/ Operator overloading may be syntactic sugar, but there are a lot of things that don't taste very good without sugar. http://devnet.developerpipeline.com/documents/s=9843/ddj0603d/ Kirk presents techniques for identifying committed virtual address space in C/C++ programs. http://devnet.developerpipeline.com/documents/s=9843/cuj0602becker/ With TR1, C++ gets hash tables in the form of the template classes unordered_map, unordered_multimap, unordered_set, and unordered_multiset. http://devnet.developerpipeline.com/documents/s=9843/cuj0602moo/ Invariants are a great way to make sure your loops are doing what you expect. http://devnet.developerpipeline.com/documents/s=9843/cuj0602alexandrescu/ STL containers are easy to extend, which is why Andrei was surprised when he happened upon a problem that cried out for an extension to std::map, but ultimately couldn't be solved that way. http://devnet.developerpipeline.com/documents/s=9843/cuj0602jaeschke/ If you want interprocess or interapplication communication, you want to know how to use sockets. Rex shows us the way. http://devnet.developerpipeline.com/documents/s=9843/cuj0602reeves/ Arguments against multiple inheritance range from the philosophical to the practical, but in the end only one question matters: Is it useful? http://devnet.developerpipeline.com/documents/s=9843/cuj0602bruce/ Phillip gets around some of the limitations of the pointer-to-member with a model of class associations that he calls "Associative Chains." http://devnet.developerpipeline.com/documents/s=9843/cuj0602stoks/ Some say operator overloading is nothing more than syntactic sugar. Use it with proper caution, however, and you can reap real rewards. http://devnet.developerpipeline.com/documents/s=9843/cuj0602matthews/ Kerberos authentication can be an effective safeguard against man-in-the-middle attacks. Glen implements Kerberos by way of two popular APIs. http://devnet.developerpipeline.com/documents/s=9843/cuj0602seacord/ Sometimes the only way to track down security flaws such as buffer overflows is to roll up your sleeves and manually review the code. Robert outlines a process for manual review that's based on Safe-Secure C/C++. http://devnet.developerpipeline.com/documents/s=9843/cuj1135208707797/ A common problem in Windows programming is retrieving a descendent windows by Id. This is the topic Matthew examines this month. Additionally, he uses the problem to illustrate how some languages can use local functions to maximize encapsulation. http://devnet.developerpipeline.com/documents/s=9843/ddj0602u/ February 2006 Of Interest. http://devnet.developerpipeline.com/documents/s=9843/ddj0602j/ Google's Summer of Code resulted in thousands of lines of code. Here are more students who participated. http://devnet.developerpipeline.com/documents/s=9843/ddj0602i/ Understanding graph theory is central to building your own Sudoku solver. http://devnet.developerpipeline.com/documents/s=9843/ddj0602d/ uC++ was designed to provide high-level concurrency for C++. http://devnet.developerpipeline.com/documents/s=9843/ur0512e/ ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG21 is the C++ standards committee. You don't need to remember that; there won't be an exam. But the fact of its existence is of great importance.
