I just completed a meeting tonight with the leaders of the Oklahoma City .NET Developers' Group. What a great group of guys. It is important to find a team of individuals that balance each other out so well.
Is that all? Sure why not! It has only been a few months since I last blogged.
I should also point out that I've been teaching C++ the last couple of weeks. I've had two great classes. Each week's group has had a different dynamic to them. This weeks group, while claiming not to be programmers normally, are pretty smart. We had a wonderful conversation about creating memory blocks by using the memset method for memory allocation. We delved deep into stack and heap discussions.
VB, C#, and Java developers would be smart to spend some time finding a could C++ reference on working with memory. Thanks to the Garbage Collectors, we tend to ignore how much work is really going on under the covers. C++ helps you understand several important parts of computer science and how the application must work with the operating system.
If you are looking to enhance your knowledge of the science of programming, find a good class offered at a quality center.
