(Highly geeky post ahead. You’ve been warned!)
I have found the very message that summarizes the beauty of Cocoa in a single word; see by yourselves, hereunder in line 47:

#import

// The interface of a person
@interface Person : NSObject {
NSString* firstName;
NSString* lastName;
int age;
}
@end

// The [...]

Xcode is amazing. Of all the IDEs I’ve used (and this is, as always, a personal opinion, having used Visual Studio since version 6, Eclipse, Kdevelop and others) it’s the one I prefer. And today I found another reason to like it.
I’ve noticed this: when I use Xcode on a single-processor machine (such as a [...]

ImageMagick is a cool toolkit; not only it’s a complete set of command-line applications, ported to Windows, Mac and Linux, supporting hundreds of different image formats, it’s also a C++ library that you can use in your own applications!
On Mac OS X, I installed it via MacPorts using the all-time classic:
sudo port install ImageMagick
Then I [...]

me puse a leer las instrucciones de instalacion, y despues encontre el tutorial, de donde saco gran parte de lo que escribire en este articulo.

Many companies, at some point of their history, ask themselves a simple question: what programming language should I use? The answer to this question is tricky, and has big, big consequences, for every single line of code of your future products will be written, read and suffered by it. This single choice defines the level [...]

It’s fun to find out how to tackle the same task in different programming languages; in this case, it’s all about doing HTTP requests over a network: fortunately, there are networking libraries in virtually all major programming languages. In my current project, I’m generating wrappers easing the access to the core of the project itself, [...]

Did you knew this is possible in C++? I didn’t.

void Fun()
{
class Local
{
//… member variables …
//… member functions …
};

// … code using Local …
}

This [...]

Take a careful look at this:

#include

class Gadget
{
public:
void sayHello() const
{
std::cout

There’s an interesting discussion going on these days on Ruby blogs about, basically, how to avoid one of the most common, annoying, easy-to-create bugs in any programming language: calling a method on a null reference (or pointer, depending on your language).

This single issue happens all the time, in garbage-collected and non-managed languages, static and dynamic, [...]

Generics in JavaScript.
Who came up with this? Let’s put things in context: JavaScript is a dynamic language. It turns out that this characteristics deeply upsets many people, particularly those who prefer to rely on a compiler to check their code for them before running it. It turns out that these guys also have a hard [...]
