Robots!

I finally managed to get my Google Wave Robot up:

http://rabidrunner.appspot.com

Of course, this is just the hello world example written in Python. I am trying to come up with less trivial examples, but first I want to use this application to try out a database access, a file upload, a headline capture (RSS reader), and some other nifty little tricks that will prove to be useful.

Google Wave still looks like it has a way to go. Using the sandbox build, it still is a bit slow, but that may be due to the massive amount of posting and replying that is going on. I kind of wish there was an easier way to filter out certain waves instead of loading the most recent.

I'm also anxiously looking forward to these items once the real build comes out:
- Google Wave server
- Robots from places other than AppEngine
- Integration with other databases besides GQL
- Security features

C++ Development Environment

Trolling through some forums today, I found some great resources for C++, so I expanded on it and inserted some annotations. Categories are Integrated Development Environment (IDE), UML Interface, Team Collaboration, Coding Standards, Bug Tracking, Version Control, Unit Test Library, and Performance Testing. A bracket sits next to the resource which contains a W for Windows support, L for Linux, and M for Mac. A $ indicates that a standard version of the software will require a purchased license.

The TL;DR guide to git

While in the past I've held a pretty high opinion to using mercurial for version control, the majority of version control these days seems to done in git.  Here were the commands I found most useful to get productive with git right away. # Clone a repository from an origin, i.e. my github MaskingUtils repository git clone git@github.com:caelumvox/masking-utils.git # Add a file after it's been updated to stage it for commit, or add a new file git add filename # Commit the file to local repo git commit # Push the file to the origin so the rest of the team can see it git push # List all locally tracked branches git branch git branch --list # Get a list of all branches from the remote git branch -r # Create branch locally git branch develop # Push the branch to the origin repository to make sure it is tracked there git push --set-upstream origin develop # Pulls latest from all local branches tracked from origin; won't pull non-tracked branches git pull --all # Fetch the branch ...

Software Design Principles - SOLID

The SOLID software design principles weren't called SOLID while I was in grad school, but the concepts were there in my Object Oriented Design course. They're worth mentioning here, primarily because I think once you start coding and become dangerous, it's one of the best ways to stay organized once you incorporate it into your daily coding routines, and it even changes your way of thinking for the better: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOLID
