Dr. Dobb's has an article which discusses the Wt: A Web Toolkit. Wt is a freely available library and application server (www.webtoolkit.eu/wt) that lets C++ programmers write modern web applications using a familiar C++ GUI programming style. Wt then renders the C++ applications to the web browser.

There is an interesting article over at Reg Developer that discusses 10 ways to improve your code. Neil Ford's Software Development West presentation, "10 Ways to Improve Your Code", contained a discussion on "advanced code hygiene" containing wisdom for coders of many stripes. His talk covered a lot of territory, from test-driven development to advice on "good citizenship."

As of January 15, 2007, codingstyle.com is now running under Dreamhost web hosting services. In addition, I have upgraded Post-Nuke to the latest version. Hopefully these changes will improve performance (something I have been very disappointed with for the past several years) and perhaps(?) cut down on comment spam and some of the other problems that I have had to deal with. The name servers have already been changed, but it may take several days before the changes are propogated.

Finally, looking to save money on web hosting? If so, please read more below...

In this article you'll learn about the types of pointer operations that can cause memory corruption and you'll also examine some scenarios that show what to consider while working with dynamic memory allocation. Pointers and memory leaks might seem to be deterrents to some programmers but, once you understand the fundamentals of pointers and associated memory operations, they will be the most powerful tool you posses in C.

The mainframe is cool again. Some are even speculating that a rebirth is occurring and are talking about Mainframe 2.0. One reason for the eyes wide open reaction for the mainframe is the support for many of the most modern open protocols. Take a look at Mainframe 2.0 innovations and see how to deploy a Java application on the new Big Iron.

Discover the basic concepts of the AWK text-processing and pattern-scanning language. This tutorial gets you started programming in AWK: You'll learn how AWK reads and sorts its input data, run AWK programs,manipulate data and perform complex pattern matching. When you're finished, you'll also understand GNU AWK (GAWK).

IBM’s CodeInvaders Challenge is quite possibly every Java and wannabe Java programmer’s dream come true.

Discover three Ajax data transport mechanisms (XMLHttp, script tags, and frames or iframes) and their relative strengths and weaknesses. This tutorial provides code for both the server side and the client side and explains it in detail to provide the techniques you need to put efficient Ajax controls anywhere you need them.

This article discusses the hype that currently surrounds Ajax. Reliable frameworks are still under construction, and you should worry about navigation history, bookmarkability, feedback, persistence, concurrency, and security. Use these coding tips to exploit the potential for Ajax greatness (and avoid the potential for its major problems).

The C type system is often misunderstood or overlooked. This article, the second in a series, discusses the derived types, or types that are built from other types, and some of the interactions that occur when data of multiple types are mixed. Part 1 introduces the basics of the C type system, with an overview of what it means to talk about type and a discussion of the basic types in some detail.
