Overview of a cross-platform spreadsheet-based rules engine with algorithms implemented in C++ and JavaScript, and wrappers to C#/.NET/Silverlight, Flash, and Mobile Platforms(via PhoneGap).
Zeeshan examines all of the Recursion dimensions (compile time/runtime and structure/generative) with the five different types of recursion (Nested Recursion, Binary Recursion, Mutual Recursion, Tail Recursion and Linear Recursion).
Vectors are one of the single most useful and most used objects in the STL. They are easy to use, and remove the burden of memory management from the user. It is possible to partially control memory usage by using functions like reserve, but nothing is provided to free up excess memory. Users have come up with ways to trim a vector by hand, but with the advent of the new C++0x and its move semantics, the classic solution of copy-swaping has become excessively expensive. This article seeks to find a better solution.
Unquestionably, the most effective tool for a C++ programmer's productivity is the Standard library's rich collection of algorithms. In 2008, about 20 new algorithms were voted into the C++0x draft standard. These new algorithms let you among the rest copy n elements intuitively, perform set theory operations, and handle partitions conveniently. Find out how to use these algorithms to make your code more efficient and intuitive.
Classify a point respect to a plane polygon that can be concave (i.e. with some angle grater than 180 degrees). Good performance, excellent stability.
The article introduces the simplex algorithm, provides a useful C++ function to optimize target function parameters, and shows rich examples, figures, flowcharts. source code is also attached with the article.
The Transactional File System (TxF), which allows access to an NTFS file system to be conducted in a transacted manner through extensions to the Windows SDK API. MFC 10, has been extended to support TxF and related technologies. This support allows existing MFC applications to be easily extended to support kernel transactions.
The original release of the .NET Framework included collections as .NET was introduced to the Microsoft programming world. The .NET Framework 2.0 introduced generics to complement the System.Collections namespace and provide a more efficient and well performing option. Read on to learn more...
Knowing which version of MS Office is installed on the client computer is vital; unfortunately, many programmers see this as an afterthought. Hannes du Preeze shows you four different ways to determine the Office versions installed so that you don't make this mistake.
A developer building messaging solutions with Azure Queuing and Azure Service Bus should follow a Pipeline pattern when processing a significant number of different messages. One approach to building a Pipeline is to layer a message following an Envelope pattern.
