  • Creating Your Own AI Co-Author Using C++

    While using ChatGPT through a web interface is one thing, creating your own autonomous AI tool that interfaces with ChatGPT via its API is a different story altogether. As strong proponents of C++, in this article we are going to present a GPT tool written in C++ to ease the pain of dealing with the daunting task of editing endless editorial comments.

  • Learning eBPF for Better Observability

    This article shares insights into learning eBPF as a new cloud-native technology which aims to improve Observability and Security workflows. Learn how to practice using the tools, and dive into your own development. Iterate on your knowledge step-by-step, and follow-up with more advanced use cases later.

  • Relearning C++ after C++11

    C++ is an old but evolving language. It has been around for a long time, but has changed significantly, particularly since 2011. In this article, we will review a few of its most compelling new features, including ranges, lambdas, range-based for loops, and move semantics, all by practising with a vector.

  • The Service and the Beast: Building a Windows Service that Does Not Fail to Restart

    Windows Services play a key role in the Microsoft Windows operating system, and support the creation and management of long-running processes. When  “Fast Startup” is enabled and the PC is started after a regular shutdown, though, services may fail to restart. The aim of this article is to create a persistent service that will always run and restart after Windows restarts, or after shutdown.

  • How to Create a Network Proxy Using Stream Processor Pipy

    In this article we are going to introduce Pipy, an open-source cloud-native network stream processor. After describing its modular design, we will see how to rapidly build a high-performance network proxy to serve our specific needs. Pipy has been battle-tested and is already in use by multiple commercial clients.

  • Article Series - .NET Core - 2nd Series

    In this series, we explore some of the benefits .NET Core and how it can help traditional .NET developers and all technologists who need to bring robust, performant and economical solutions to market

  • C++/CX Performance Pitfalls

    Writing applications in C++/CX is not like writing normal C++ applications. The interoperability between pure C++ code and the Windows Runtime (WinRT) can be surprisingly expensive. In this article based on Sridhar Madhugiri’s video, C++/CX Best Practices, we look at some of the ways to avoid performance problems in Windows 8 development.

  • Learning Modern C++: An Interview with Barbara Moo

    C++ was originally introduced in the 1980s, when coinciding with the rise of object orientated programming, it became one of the primary languages for software development. In the years since C++'s entry, both scripted languages and managed languages have risen in popularity. InfoQ speaks with Barbara Moo, coauthor of C++ Primer Fifth Edition, about C++11 and modern C++ development.

  • Joe Duffy on the Future of Concurrency and Parallelism

    Joe Duffy, author of Concurrent Programming on Windows, talks about the future of concurrency and parallelism. This interview covers his thoughts on the language designs, libraries, and patterns that are becoming increasing important in modern programming.

  • The Limits of Agile

    The problems faced by teams that are attempting Agile in non-traditional settings aren't that Agile principles are inapplicable, nor that the feedback cycle is doomed to failure; but rather, outside of a certain Agile sweet-spot there are additional barriers and costs to applying Agile techniques. None of these obstacles prevents Agile in itself but each increases the cost of getting to Agile.
