Hey all, In order to clean up the site infrastructure and address some security and spam issues, we’ve migrated the site to a new (faster) server, and essentially rebuilt the site from the ground up. Some of the plugins used to provide functionality (including the code syntax highlighter) weren’t compatible …
Hey all, I updated the site software today, including the primary software and a bunch of plugins. So far everything seems to be working great but it’s very possible that something has gone awry somewhere. If you discover anything that seems wonky, please leave a message on this thread and …
On the heels of my previous post This is why we can’t have nice things, we’ve had a another incident with hackers/malicious software. According to my host, exploiters found a way to exploit the WebMin control panel and load the site up with malicious scripts. As a result, the site …

When the database goes, the site goes. Fortunately, the database …
I just wanted to take a moment and wish everybody a very happy holiday season! In the 8 months this site has been in existence, we have had over 140,000 page views! I’d like to give special thanks to those of you who have taken the time to give feedback, …
Yup, it’s finally here. If you have a javascript enabled browser, code examples in the tutorials will now have line numbering and syntax highlighting. For example, instead of: Cents& Cents::operator= (const Cents &cSource) { // check for self-assignment by comparing the address of the // implicit object and the parameter …
There is no doubt in my mind that this site is growing. The meticulous Excel sheet I keep (because I am an Excel fanatic, and believe everything in life needs an Excel sheet and a linear forecast) easily proves it. The 10 day moving average of traffic for today is …
As you can see, we are now up and running on WordPress.org. The introductory tutorials are in the process of being written, and then we will all be up to our elbows in C++ goodness! Edit: Now available here. Thanks for stopping by, and we hope you enjoy the tutorials.
