Programming languages are exciting for developers, and C++, one of the more technically challenging and also perhaps the most widely used compiled language, is one of the most exciting. As Theodore Roosevelt is misquoted (*), ‘the more you know about the past, the better prepared you are for the future,’ so let’s dive into a bit of C++ history and how it’s shaped our coding…

A hash function is a one-way algorithm that takes an input of any size and always produces the same size output.

Download the code and run the full credit scroll, or change the message to share with your friends. It is FireMonkey, and while I…
You might have seen my blog has had a few issues recently. It is a very old application written in Delphi and running on a totally outdated Linux VM, hosted by a newer and more robust server. But the reality is, it is fairly fragile. First it had a kernel crash, caused by a…
