Comments
from the
Editor
==========================================================
Last week was the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States. The holiday is a
great time to remember to thank others. I’d like to thank all of you for helping
support Codeguru and for helping make it a fantastic community site. After all,
it is the community — you — that makes the site fantastic.
Of course, it is also a good time to thank all of the people who have taken
the time to write and submit articles. It is great to share what we know with
others. The “Pay it Forward” philosophy works and much of the great content on
Codeguru proves this.
It is also a good time to give a special thanks to all the moderators at
Codeguru. They volunteer their time to help out others. They are also the reason
that the Codeguru forums have very little spam and other noise. If you get
a chance, then consider thanking the moderators. They do a great job.
So thanks. It has been a great year. Let’s see if we can make the next year
even better!
Until next week….
(Don’t forget – articles submitted this week are still in the running for
$200 for October/November!)
Brad!

==> Memory
– Intelligent Memory Buffer Class on Non-MFC(SDK) platforms

Check out this stand-alone,

without using MFC.

– Do You Hear the Sirens’ Song?
By Paul
Kimmel
Everyone has ideas about how to build software. Explore some common
fallacies and collect some hints that may help you along the way. All of the
ideas are the opinion of the author (who is sometimes wrong).
