Programming Topics

In this article I will visit the mechanics of namespaces and anonymous namespaces and explain how they are used to solve some of the problems associated with linking C++ programs. Then I will move on to explain how they can also be used to provide context.

Part 3 - An Example Using Foundation

This is a collection of notes I have made while porting an application from MFC to wxWidgets. It is intended partly as a tutorial and partly to document some of the roadblocks I met on the way.

In this third installment of our series on GUI programming with the Qt C++ toolkit, we're going to show how to design dialog boxes (or "dialogs") using Qt.

Since STL is a very large topic to be covered in an article or two, we will focus on the most commonly used generic classes: vector and string.

In this part, I will be showing how to use the Glade application for rapid window creation.

In this article I will describe how an MVC approach to the generation of documents can yield the same benefits that are traditionally seen with this approach to software design, and will introduce some XML [XML][Harold-] tools that can support this method. Finally, I will look at some of the alternatives to XML that could achieve the same separation of concerns.

Welcome to the second in a series of articles introducing the C# programming language. In the previous issue the basics of the language such as variables, methods and classes were covered. In this issue classes are covered in more detail highlighting an important feature called inheritance.

In this second installment of our series on GUI programming with the Qt C++ toolkit, we're going to see how to create a standard GUI application, with a menu, toolbar, status bar, and a central area.

This short tutorial is intended as a simple introduction to writing GTK+ applications in C and C++, using the current 2.0/2.2 version of libgtk. It also covers the use of the Glade user interface designer for rapid application development (RAD).

This series of articles aims to introduce the Objective-C programming language to readers of C Vu, who are users of C and C++. I will try to show how the language manages to add object-oriented facilities to the low-level features of C in a way that is radically different from that of C++.
