Hi Community, Today’s post is about my personal implementation of some Enumerable methods available in .NET but written in C++. My implementation is pretty generic, because it uses a template class that returns a std::vector<T> as if it were IEnumerable<T>. C++ has always provided templates to allow developers write generic code; even when they might […]

The purpose of this post is to walk you through a demo application I’ve written using a few different technologies, tools and patterns as listed below: C++ CLion Glade SQL Sever vNext MVC […]
Exposing functionality in C++ parent class to children classes through proxies
Hi Community, Today’s post is about a common scenario we might face when building software. Sometimes, we have a parent class which contains a child member or property that requires to trigger or execute code that exist in the parent. It is a common practice to pass a reference to the container or parent, even […]
Displaying tabular data in a GtkTreeView
Hi Community, As a follow up to Yesterday’s post on Linux development with C++, GTK+ and SQL Server vNext. Today’s post is about GtkTreeView and how we can use it to display tabular data, as we’re used to do with a DataGrid in .NET, but first it’s worthy to start with an introduction to GTK+. […]
Visual C++ for Linux Development
Hi Community, It’s been almost 3 months since Microsoft announced their “Visual C++ for Linux Development” extension. There is a very concise and clear article here. This extension allows developers to target and deploy to *Nix systems (even to a Raspberry Pi) using Visual C++. Developers can even set breakpoints and debug remote code. In […]
Instrumenting *nix Systems via C#, C++, Mono and Qt
Hi Community, The following article is about one of the subjects I’m most passionate about that’s integration of disparate systems and cross-platform computing. I think, it’s something I had to publish and it’s one of the core components of my SIF project (Service Integration Framework). This approach can be applied to a variety of scenarios, […]
