QA Friday 2016-Jul-15

What is your biggest weakness? In real life, problems often require more than one person. Nobody can be an expert in everything. We have to each focus on what we do best and that means we need weaknesses.

QA Friday 2016-Jul-08

How our education system ignores problem solving. I do not really have a question this week so this is a great opportunity for me to talk about education.

138: Data Types: Lvalues And Rvalues.

You will sometimes come across lvalues and rvalues maybe when trying to understand compiler error messages or when reading docs. A basic understanding will go a long way to making sense of them.

136: Data Types: Variant. Pick One.

The variant type can take on one of many different types and can even change the type. It is still a variant so it is more accurate to say that it can hold another type.

I always feel pressure and embarrassment when doing code reviews. What should I do?

132: Data Types: Lambdas.

Lambdas are a recent addition to C++ and are also included in other languages. Think of them like unnamed methods but with some extra concepts that you need to know. Or if not, you will be even more lost than with function pointers.

131: Data Types: Function Pointers Part 2.

You may not always need to work with this data type but that does not mean you can ignore it. If you do not at least know the basics, then you will get lost in code that uses function pointers.

127: Data Types: Smart Pointers Part 2.

The C++ language guarantees that destructors run at specific times even if an exception is thrown. You can use this to make sure that other cleanup work gets done. That is what smart pointers do.

125: Data Types: Streams Part 2.

Streams provide a way to read and write potentially unlimited information and working with them is very different than data types representing a single variable.

123: Data Types: Tuples.

Sometimes you need to bundle things together so you can treat them as a single unit. That is what the tuple provides.

122: Data Types: DateTimes Part 5 C++.

DateTimes in C++ require quite a bit of a learning curve. They are still evolving and nowhere near to being full-featured or friendly to use.
