I consider myself an experienced programmer and understand the basic concept of dependency injection. On the other hand, most of my experience is in writing relatively low-level, one-man number crunching code. I have no experience whatsoever working on large enterprise projects. Given this background, I can't for the life of me wrap m...
We are looking for a tool where we can take screenshots easily and manipulate layouts, fonts, and add arrows and documentation to "change this" so that our dev team can implement our designs more easily. ...
I have the following problem. I got a class PluginLoader which oversees loading of plugins. It divides sub-stages of work to other classes like Plugin. Plugin calls functions of PluginLoader in its processing. Let's call that function AddData. Here, PluginLoader has to check if the data it receives is duplicate. For that, it uses a Conf...
I've got 3 classes: class Super { virtual int getType() { return 1; } } class Special : public class Super { virtual int getType() { return 2; } } class SpecialSpecial : public class Special { virtual int getType() { return 3; } } And I've got a function which takes an std::vector<Super*> as argument: void handleClasses...
When creating a web-site design, is the only real option to provide a fixed content width? I notice most major websites (this one included) center all the content into a fixed width, which ensures all elements look correct on all screen sizes. I think I already know the answer to this, but a colleague seems to think that there should n...
Hi I am working on a C# .net app for windows mobile. Problem is, I am a web developer, this is the first ever for me to write code for a desktop app, and to make things worse, I even have to work using the CF.

I want to wrap part of the TinyXML library in some custom classes in my project because I only need some of its functionality and I do not wish to expose everything. I have a problem where my XMLDocument::AddNode(...) function is basically doing the same thing that my XMLNode class is meant for. I wondered if anyone could give me som...

So a friend of mine has a small business, where he sells paper products, as well as custom posters, banners, and the like. He doesn't have a website, so he's hired me to create one for him, where users can place orders, check the status of their order, etc. Other than his requirements, I'm trying to come up with other common functionali...
I have an interface class MyFunction. There are three functions in this class with the following signatures: virtual bool Eval(int& iReturnVal, size_t szArgumentCount, list<Param> lParameterList) = 0; virtual bool Eval(double& dReturnVal, size_t szArgumentCount, list<Param> lParameterList) = 0; virtual bool Eval(char*& zReturnVal, size_...
I am a C++ programmer myself and trying to make the transition to being a designer. I was just wondering does being a programmer helps in being a good OO designer or just that one can learn OO principles and the design principles and become as good a designer. The question may sound lame or pretty much obvious but i have seen some pretty...

I think that you have heard of message/event buses, it's the single place when all events in the system flow. Similar architectures are found in computer's motherboards and LAN networks. It's a good approach for motherboards and networks as it reduces the number of wires, but is it good for software development? We don't have such restri...

I am building a DDD system and we have all the requirements on paper for the system already set. There is a disagreement on how we go about building our domain model that I need an opinion on. My preference is to take the requirements and sketch out a basic domain model with the outline for the classes, their properties and behaviors a...
