Hi, I'm wondering what kind of persistence solutions are there for C++ with a SQL database? In addition to doing things with custom SQL (and encapsulating the data access to DAOs or something similar), are there some other (more general) solutions? Like some general libraries or frameworks (something like Hibernate & co for Java and .N...
As a programmer, I've been pretty much stuck in the Windows world. I invested a lot of time and effort learning MFC, ATL and, recently, .NET (mostly WinForms, I'm not interested in Web development for now). Since I don't have Parallels (and won't buy any software or hardware in the following months), I can't afford to run my old Windows ...
I have to run a Web server with many services on an embedded server with limited RAM (1 GB, no swap). There will be a maximum of 100 users. I will have services such as a forum, little games (javascript or flash), etc. My team knows Ruby on Rails very well, but I am a bit worried about Rails' memory usage. I really do not want to sta...

As developers, we have to constantly learn about new languages and technologies. What did you do to learn the programming languages (or frameworks) you know now?

I recently took over a .Net based framework that developers on my team will need to use. Unfortunately, the original developer left the company before it was finished. Now, I’m stuck with no documentation, and barely any use cases. How should I document it so that the other developers are aware of the features and how to use them prope...
Should I make my own framework by wrapping up the STL classes and/or Boost libraries so that if I need to change the implementation of the string, vectors, lists, etc. or I need to write functions that MFC, other other libraries or even other platforms would need to use their format, I can easily mutate them to meet the criteria. this i...
There are lots and lots of opinions available about what framework is the best choice as well as resources and tutorials to help you learn to use them. What I'm having a hard time finding is a clear explanation of what the "ah-ha this is why I learned all this" moment. So just to clarify, I have never used any framework and don't reall...

I'm in the process of evaluating the use of CAB for a new .net 3.5 winform project I plan to use the Infragistics toolset, which is known to be 'CAB compliant' While CAB has the immediate upside of letting me focus on my business instead of coding basic docking/login/etc code, I feel like I would be able to achieve the same level of fu...
a couple of days ago I had this idea, why not implementing asp-classic as another language in .net... it would have helped lots of people to migrate to the new platform... I mean there's IronRuby, IronPython, etc... It sounded to me like a great idea... but, come on, I'm no genius, there must be some reason why they haven't done so......
Im porting a project from php to java. The project is a web-app based on php and ajax techniques with a javascript front-end. What java-frameworks would you use for something like this? ...
On our embedded device, we currently use PHP for its web interface, and unfortunately it's quite slow. We've been experimenting with Python, but is seems (at least on FPU-less ARM architecture) to be as slow as PHP. Therefore we're thinking about implementing web interface in some compiled language like C++, but so far the only thing we...
In general, how do you choose a framework or library to use in your application? Does it have to be open source? Does it have to be commercial? Does it have to be actively developed, well-documented, or have a pretty home page? If your language has native support for some functionality, what would make you choose a third-party framew...
It's hard to see how StringTemplate integrates easily (or not) with popular Java web MVC frameworks. Which Java MVC frameworks integrate easily with StringTemplate? A good answer: mentions one solution to integrate with a framework, includes a link to something useful and applicable, like: a tutorial, or documentation, or a referenc...
I'm looking for a JavaScript Testing Framework that I can easily use in whatever context, be it browser, console, XUL, etc. Is there such a framework, or a way to easily retrofit an existing framework so its context agnostic? Edit: The testing framework should not be tied to any other framework such as jQuery or Prototype.js and should...
I know, I know, another layer on top of the libraries, but I think there could be some benefits when it comes to porting certain functionality. I thought I would ask and see if anyone has found anything related to this. Essentially it would be a bunch of getters and setters, and any one of the major libraries could sit inbetween. Has any...
I'm just getting into python on the web. I have a simple linux (CentOS) server with python installed into apache via mod_python. It all works great, but I don't really understand what to do about the Handler. It works, but I have to do low-level things like, at minimum, set the proper content_type of the request before I write out anythi...
