Thoughts from a solution architect, technologist and Christian citizen.
Metadata File System for Linux is a project similar to MetaFS. The concept is to provide users the ability to being able to capture information of their files from the shell of the operating system. In this particular case it’ll be an extra tab in Nautilus.Metadata will be stored in a MySQL Database. This is […]
Continue ReadingHi 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 […]
Continue ReadingHi Community, This is the fourth and final post of this series on GTK+ and Linux development with C++ and SQL Server vNext. 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 […]
Continue ReadingHi 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 […]
Continue ReadingHi 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+. […]
Continue ReadingHi Community, Today’s post is about a project I’ve recently started working on, it’s a C++ application for Linux built with GTK+ and SQL Server vNext for Linux. I’m also using CLion which is my favorite cross-platform IDE when doing plain C++ and Glade as my UI editor. I chose not to use Qt, because I’d […]
Continue ReadingHi 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 […]
Continue ReadingHi community, It gives me a great joy to announce that Microsoft has awarded me with an MVP recognition once again, in this opportunity in the “Visual Studio and Development Technologies” category . Since the MVP Program has been around for more than two decades, Microsoft have recently made changes to it, therefore, I can contribute to anything that’s […]
Continue ReadingAs a software developer and architect, I’m always looking at options for my customers whether they’re around technologies, tools, hosting, security and tenancy model (being the last three mandatory in a “cloudy” world) among some other factors and considerations. To me crafting software it’s more than cracking code and ensure it compiles, it’s more about […]
