[2010-07-29] Perl in C Part 1
Perl, which is an extremely flexible and fluid language, in itself written in C, and as such it is easy to incorporate it into your own programs. This is not always necessary for most programs, as it is easy to call a Perl program in its own process by using popen. For persistent programs, this can be a major time-saver as Perl will only be loaded into memory once.
[2010-07-15] Let's Get Virtual, Virtual...
Even though I have used virtual functions in the past, I never really understood them. They always seemed just beyond the realm of what I believed I could do with a strict typing language like C++. Of course, I had just a vague grasp on polymorphism at the time.
[2010-07-01] C Style Coding
My very first computer science teacher in college taught me C++. Starting with "Hello World" and going through structs, classes, and pointers, she showed me how to make computers dance with a few simple commands. Imagine my surprise when I turned in a program, only to find I had lost points for using the conditional operator.
