Tips And Tricks For Developers
We work, live and breath in a moving target. It's a bit like Alice and the
Queen of Hearts in that we have to run as hard as we can just to stay in one
place. It is necessary that everyone in the industry spends time and effort to
keep up with the changes that each new day brings.
Here's my contribution towards nailing the Jell-O to the wall. These are notes, tips and tricks that I've made while
solving various programming problems or learning new technologies.
.NET - It isn't easy to describe the .NET
environment. It isn't just a language, it's a lifestyle. It's the wave of the
future. It does applications, database, reports and web sites. Visual Studio 6 is dead. Long live
.NET!
MFC - Microsoft's Foundation Class has long been the primary means by which
serious Windows development has been accomplished. It was originally developed
because development utilizing SDK API's alone was simply too slow to build and
too hard to maintain. Here's a compendium of notes, tips, tricks and sample code.
COM - COM was developed as a means to provide a
framework in which an application could make use of the services of a binary
object without regards to the object's development language or environment.
Web - Here are a few little interesting things like
how to make an elastic cursor.
