I am primary a web developer but I do have a very good understanding of C++ and C#. However, recently I have writing a GUI application and I have started to get lost in how to handle the relationship between my controller and view logic. In PHP it was ver...

I'm sorry if my question is so long and technical but I think it's so important other people will be interested about it I was looking for a way to separate clearly some softwares internals from their representation in c++ I have a generic parameter cla...

The C++ friend keyword allows a class A to designate class B as its friend. This allows Class B to access the private/protected members of class A. I've never read anything as to why this was left out of C# (and VB.NET). Most answers to this earlier Sta...

What are some practical uses for the "Curiously Recurring Template Pattern"? The "counted class" example commonly shown just isn't a convincing example to me.

I've been writing a lot recently about Parallel computing and programming and I do notice that there are a lot of patterns that come up when it comes to parallel computing. Noting that Microsoft already has released a library along with the Microsoft Visu...

Is it possible to create custom events in C++? For example, say I have the variable X, and the variable Y. Whenever X changes, I would like to execute a function that sets Y equal to 3X. Is there a way to create such a trigger/event? (triggers are com...

Edit: From another question I provided an answer that has links to a lot of questions/answers about singletons: More info about singletons here: So I have read the thread Singletons: good design or a crutch? And the argument still rages. I see Single...

I would like to implement a data access object pattern in C++, but preferably without using multiple inheritance and/or boost (which my client does not like). Do you have any suggestions?

I have checked with the wikipedia article, and it seems like it is missing the c++ version of a code example. I am not able to fully appreciate the Facade pattern without this, can you please help explain it to me using C++?
